Does this item in any way reduce the listening volume from what it would be if using a digital device in the input? For example, in the Yamaha amp I use, when switching from CD player to Phono, there is a listening volume drop of about 15-20%. I was...

It should not lower the sound and should amplify it, this device is for turntables I believe and you should check with yamaha and ask why their phono input lowers sound output, etc.

Because it depends on the music you listen to, how loud you like to listen to your music and the quality of the music. This player is mediocre at most for my liking. You have to be very careful with the CD door or it will break. Not enough volume for my liking.

Look at the back of the set. There is an input set for "Phono." When I had a turntable, which I no longer have, this input jack sufficed on any receiver I ever owned - without a preamp. I would assume that is the case with this receiver. If you are uncomfortable without knowing for certain. I would suggest researching on the Yamaha website.

Do you have A phono-stage pre-amp hooked up between turntable and amplifier? I've got an old Electro-Accompaniet phono preamp & get lots of volume from my Oris 200 horn speakers

I assume that you are using a standard LP record player. Most amps today do not handle conventional phonos, however, an inexpensive pre-amp between the player and any amp will take care of this.

I honestly never did do that My pop has told me that you never connect everything to one unit for the fear of electrical damage that could happen so I advise getting PC speakers or better yet there are phono jacks I've seen on a PC system and two bookshelf speakers great sound and the cd burnt with the pc equalizer in it it sounded as if you're in the studio or there in concert so I hope this has helped you and wish you the best. By all means contact me about this Bud Lucas yerington nv

Mine just stops getting louder. I have found headphone quality can make loudness vary with this player. I was surprised to hear how much louder mine got with different headphones.

I have few questions. Can you hook up Bluetooth devices to this receiver? if so, will the recommended yamaha bluetooth will work? 2).Can you play music through zone 2 and not have music playing on the main speakers at the same time? 3) I tried adjusting the volume in zone 2 speakers and it said Fixed volume. what does that mean? Can you adjust volume via smartphone if you have it hooked up through bluetooth?

Yes, there is a phono input that is amplified. This was one of my considerations when deciding between this and a Yamaha unit. Am waiting for delivery of my unit now and cannot wait to get it!

I got some feedback when using the amplifier in a small room and at high volume. Try lower volume or any close wall at front. If feedback is always present, maybe is defective.

No, from my experience it will turn down all sounds that are above your volume setting.I am still deciding if the item works that well.

It works better connected directly to your turntable. But you can connect it to your receiver, you will have to adjust the gain, and monitor the output volume, and use the line input switch on the adapter.. I've used it connected directly to my turntable, and the files come out perfect!! It sounds just like you were playing it through your receiver. You just have to make sure you connect the ground wire from the turntable to the adapter.. This cuts out the hum.. Great device.. Buy it, you won't regret it..

No, the high-level inputs of the amp will drop the wattage down from your cd player to an acceptable low level input, so you will still just get the amplifier's rated output

I wonder what your source component is and if possibly your converters are somehow not "playing nice" with the HiFiMan transducers.; I am into year 2 with mine and after 200 or so hours of break-in the mids and low end have opened up along with the soundstage but only positives have happened, nothing negative. (I am using an Oppo BDP-95 running via XLR to a Teac HA-501-B headphone amp. ALSO, it may be something is loose inside the cups that is resonating. I can honestly say other than not liking the way my cables attach, I can find very little to complain about regarding these cans. Good luck! Cheers!

"Dear Sir/Madam，Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.Could you tell us the sound source you are using?The sound experience will vary depending on the power of sound source used, HE-400 works well with our player like HM650,HM802 and HM901, as per the feedback from customers.If you are using a amp, generally the outputs of it should above those of german (LEHMANN).Any questions feel free to contact us.Best regards,AlvinHifiman customer service team"

Frank, I would assume your turntable needs a RIAA equalization to play the turntable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_equalization). In older equipment you would get "Phono IN" (RIAA) which basically is an internal "equalizer" that compensates for the loss of bass and attenuates highs. The input of this speaker is line level or aux level (An Aux level output is typically: unbalanced; a nominal level of -10dBV (0.1 volt); designed to feed an input with an impedance of 10,000 ohms or greater. As an example, an Aux output might feed a CD, DVD). A feed from an iphone or other mobile devices will suit the aux in level, by adjusting their volume. So what you need is a "pre-amplifier" that handles "phono" RIAA equalization and the output becomes line level to connect it to the speaker. I hope this is useful.

No, in line mode it really is just a buffer. And the phono setting will not work. You need what is called a line amplifier for that use. But for a 100 foot run from a CD player or such you may not need anything. Try it without it first.
