Need a little advice . I was looking for a basic headphone amp so I can again use my very old Yamaha Orthodynamic HP-1 headphones .

At this point I have no headphone connection .The Conrad Johnson repair outlet in Montreal Canada said that I can connect a headphone amp to my CJ preamp through the tape output . If I play a cd or record , I select it as a source and the signal will be automatically sent to the tape output thus to the headphone amp /headphones . If I do not turn on the power amp , the volume control on the headphone amp controls volume on the headphone.

I was looking at the Monolith Liquid Spark Headphone Amplifier , Atom AMP 2 or iFi Audio ZEN Air Can High-Resolution Headphone Amplifier. Just wondering if anyone has experience with these or similar headphone amps . Since I already have a DAC , don't need another one .

I have the same thing, front feet seem to be spring loaded, while back feet seem set, I always thought it was "by design" to support the weight of the open lid... so it's not?

The rear legs have the same piston action, just thicker “feet”.

Mine has gone back to doing the same thing. Even not keeping the dust cover hinged.

Funny thing is, if I put the old ones back on….they hold for maybe a day beforebottoning out. Then put the replacements back on and they hold for similar time.

So maybe they’re not “bad” as much as under rated for the weight of the back side. Thinking of reversing them. Thicker feet means less travel to the piston….obviously the back is heavier….maybe more play would keep them floating.

Unrelated note….put on a AT 750SH….holy crap this is bright. Even with BJC+Cardas arm wire.
