RCA to 6.25mm?

[admin_exported]

I'm planning to get a new headphone amp within the month but until then I'm making use of the trusty Beresford. Only problem is the internal headphone jack is pretty crummy so I want to connect to the variable RCA out. Does anyone know of a cheap male RCA to 6.25mm adaptor I could use, or if this is possible at all? Thanks.

never seen one - i am guessing you want a female 6.25mm socket to connect your headphones to?

Yep, I'm not sure if some kind of attentuator would be needed. I've never seen anything like this either though it seems strange I haven't, am I missing something?

I've ordered some cheap ones off ebay to link my turntable to my Focusrite Saffire soundcard which has 6.25mm jack inputs. Have a look for 'phono socket to 0.25" jack plug adaptors and the seller was discotrader-uk.

Sorry... bit tired they were female RCA to 6.25mm male adaptors

Thanks but I'm going the other way. Male RCA to female 0.25".ÿ

they exist - quality of this won't be great though

Ha, you're clearly better than me at searching ebay! Cheers for that, not sure about the quality though it won't be used for too long. At least now I know they exist.

just not sure if you can just connect in that way which might be why no big companies make them - hope you have some cheap headphones to try it with first

Pretty sure it'll be OK as it's just a line out. I've got a couple of attenuators if needs be, I'll probably whack the knackered sr60s on for a start just to be sure.

have you decided on little dot mkIII or darkvoice? my pro-ject will be with me monday so can try that as well

No, pretty undecided as yet. I like the looks of the LD but I like the fact the DV has fewer tubes. I like the fact the LD has a beefy volume knob to match my Benchmark's but I like the fact the DV is supposed to integrate better with AKG. It's all too much when you have to have it sent over from China before you can hear the damn thing!

If Andrew is out there would you care to remark if this is a wise thing to do from a line out straight to headphones?
