Question About Taboo Headphone Jack
03/05/11 at 19:25:42

I am a little confused about the Taboo headphone jack option. I dropped a line to the Decware folks, but I thought I would post here, too. Does the basic Taboo come fitted with a jack? If so, is it a 1/4 inch SE jack?

If not, is that the type of jack installed with the headphone jack option?

Or is the headphone jack option for a 4-pin fitting, such as would be used with the HiFiMan HE-6? I ask because I will be using the Taboo with an Audez'e LCD-2, which has an SE 1/4-inch plug.

Thanks!

Greg

* Choose between the black figured base or the contemporary walnut - FREE
* Choose from a variety of alternate hardwoods - add $50
* Stepped attenuator - add $250
* V-Caps - add $200
* Headphone jack for Planar Magnetic Ear Phones - add $100

Additional Options can be selected and changed in the shopping cart.

Is the headphone jack directly connected to the speaker output? Is it possible to connect a high impedance headphones (300-600ohms) to the jack? Thank you.
