rewiring preamp will it work


Hello,

I currently have a AES AE-3 DJH preamp. I absolutely love it, but I recently decided to get more into headphone audio, and now need two RCA outputs on my preamp. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to rewire it two have two sets of RCA outs instead of one (one of the input RCAs could be rewired as an output since I only use one input)? I was just going to disconnect the wires on the output and instead connect it in parallel with the original output. I just wanted to check with you guys if this would actually work, or would it cause any problems with the preamp.

Thanks so much,

I appreciate it,
Ron

I suggest you ask Cary. I could find no circuit data for the AES AE-3 DJH but I would be concerned about excessive loading, especially for a headphone.

There's an easier way. There are splitters that have one male RCA to two female RCA. You can either buy the type that is a little solid adaptor:

or get the type that has a little bit of cable. Just google "male RCA to two female RCA splitter" to see your options. It will be cheap and won't affect the originality of your preamp.
Right. However, that does not obviate my concerns about overloading the output stage.
