I just tried it with mine. I plugged the headphones in using a standard 3.5mm cable to a 1/4" adapter. As soon as I powered the receiver on, sound defaulted to the headphones. I tried pressing the speaker a/b button on the remote, but it wouldn't let me switch to speakers. This is just a...

Thank you for the recommendation! Despite the high price, if it had more than one output I might bite! The cheap switch I had wasn't an issue until I added a second output amp. As it is - I decided to get a Schiit audio Saga - but won't use my Stax amp as one of it's outputs. I suspect my...

I think that would defeat the purpose of this switch for a lot of people. If you have two sources powered on - say a solid state DAC and a tube Preamp, you can quickly switch inputs and get an instant comparison of the sound quality. I loved that. I don't think switching inputs was ever the...

I think I found out the hard way that my Stax SRM 717 does this. It's reasonable to assume other Stax electrostatic amps do also. I'd been using my Stax SRM 717 with a switch that also converts between RCA and XLR. Everything was great until I added a Monoprice THX amp and connected with...

I used to think the same as you - but the Hifiman He6 and He6Se variants require a ridiculous amount of power to drive properly. Though they're only 50 ohms, they're very insensitive, around 90db if I remember correctly. With a lower power amp, you can drive them - but they'll either sound...

I would recommend being cautious with this switch. I was using it for over a year - using it just to switch between two inputs. One input would be direct from my DAC, the other would go through a tube preamp. It worked great and I was quite happy. The problem started when I added a second...

Has anyone else used this to drive the Hifiman He6 or He6se? Having read that they could use more power to really open up - I bought these for my He6se V2. I was previously using the Monoprice 887 THX amp to drive them, but was wondering if I might see more benefit from a speaker amp. People...
