Hi, Help needed.
I had a friend try and connect his iphone 4 to my hifi amplifier using an mp3 player mini jack to two phono lead.
whilst the amp was still powered and playing music from the cd player.
The mini jack was actually slightly bent which we both failed to notice.
He inserted the mini jack into the iphone 4 and connected the phono to the aux input on the amplifier. When he selected the aux on the amp there was quite a lot of distortion as he fiddled with the mini jack in the iphone. He had to turn the volume lower.
I listened to a few tracks and then I turned my hi fi off and we both went outside.
The next day when I started to listen to my hi fi I noticed it sounded different.
Best I can describe it is that it sounds a lot more sensitive in that I can hear when I select my equalizer on and off where as before I never ever heard a click sound coming through the speakers when I switched it on before.
Also on the cd I am listening to I can hear a bit of a different sound where as it is not sounding as smooth as it were.
Do you think I have caused damage to the amp or the speakers?
The hi fi is in a small rectangle shaped bedroom which has always had quite bad acoustics that is why I use a equalizer because the amplifier does not have any tone controls.
