And that jumps to ~ 200 Hz if you use 8-ohm cans. If you stay cognizant of the headphone Z, you're in good shape. If you want to pull a set of Koss Pro4 AA phones off the shelf, you may want to revisit that. It's all about the series C and knowing the headphone Z as a function of frequency. It's doubtful your 27 ohms headphones remain 27 ohms across their frequency range. > Personally I think the more robust connection is a good point to keep and > I'm ok with the 45Hz output. I tried running things through my headphone Speaking of robust, when I started discussing the matter with Lyle many months ago, I was concerned that increasing the C value above 10 uF at C9/C13 would begin to introduce switching thumps that would become apparent especially in CW. Stated another way, I was hopeful that the small C size was not masking keying artifacts that were there all along, only to be discovered by increasing the cap size! But at 330 uF, I hear no artifacts as a result of the change.
