Title: Planar Headphone Mod
Post by MrQ on 11/26/10 at 07:22:48

With the Planar Headphone Mod, can dynamic headphones such as the T1 be used as well?

Also is a 1/4" jack socket used as there is a picture of a LCD2 with a 1/4" jack featured?

Hello MrQ,

Thanks for joining the forum! You have my apology for the late response. I remember getting an e-mail from you prior to your joining the forums. With the Christmas rush I admit being stretched a little thin.

Yes, the Mini Torii will drive the T1's just fine. A bit too much power perhaps, you'll want to be careful when turning it up.

The headphone jack option is of course for unbalanced applications using a standard headphone plug. If you want to use the balanced cord set for the planer headphones, then do not request the headphone jack option. Instead I can make you a harness to connect between the XLR jacks of the headphone cable and the binding posts of the amplifier.

Steve

Thank you Mr Deckert for replying. Greatly appreciated.

As I already own a pair of Beyer T1s, would it be possible to still have the headphone jack option for those and have a binding post fitted for when I get/use planar headphones?
