When you buy the subreceiver does it come with the

Hi Roland-
I just got thru replacing the headphone connector on #4793 which died
after only 2 months service. My Heil headphones have a mini-plug, so I
don't use a mini-to-1/4 phone plug adapter. There are too many K2s
working without incident to say the connector is a flawed design, but it
is across 1/2 the load (25 ohms) and changes the power
calc to V^2/25 = P vs. of V^2/50 = P. Can someone confirm this?
