Hi Guys,
Went to hook up my Musical Fidelity XCan V3 headphone amp to my Jolida JD502B and I realize that I have no line out connection to run the cables to. Is there an alternate method for connecting this? Thanks.
Follow Ups:
is how you do this. When you are using the headphone amp, you turn off your speaker amp and vice versa.
Do NOT get the plastic-body Y-splitter from Radio Shack; it sounds terrible. Get the all-metal types.
Your XCan actually has line-outs, so one thing you could also try is CDP-> XCan-> Jolida. You're using XCan as a Preamp into Jolida; this may or may not sound better than Jolida alone for speakers, but it might be worth a try.
OK Jon, I ran interconnects from the CD player to the Line In on the XCan and from the Line Out on the XCan to the CD input on the Jolida and bingo I got music. Just wanted to say thanks. Jack
Hopefully the Jolida has a L/R pair of "tape Out" jacks ... that would be where you could use the 1 to 2 "Y" RCA splitter jacks.
A pair of RCA "Y" splitters might work.
Where would I connect the Y splitter?
I would connect the splitter to your source component. Run one pair of interconnects to your preamp, integrated amp, or receiver and the other set of interconnects to the headphone amp inputs. You may not be able to run the headphone amp and the speaker amp simultaneously.
