RE: Headphone with Marantz AV-7005

Posted by Frihed89 on February 2, 2012 at 01:40:17:
If it's really a tape out then you should have no gain control. (The tape out bypasses the preamp's gain control). I wonder how you can change the volume? But, generally speaking, the tape, or monitor out, is what you should hook up your headphone amp to. But I am surprized there is so little voltage coming from your CD source. It should be loud (2-5V).

The alternative is to bypass the receiver and connect the headphone amp directly to the CD source.

Does the CD source go into an input rca on the receiver or to the tape in ?
Try it with both. Normally it would just go to a regular input.
