I inherited a vintage hi-fi system (turntable, amp, preamp, CD player, tuner, etc) from my FIL and it all sounds amazing through my Klipsch horns.
For my birthday my wife bought me my first pair of wired headphones (Focal Elegia). I plugged the headphones directly into my vintage CD player (McIntosh MCD-7005) and dang they are loud! Volume on the cd player doesn’t seem to be doing much nor does turning on the amp or preamp.
Am I doing it right? Is there something about which I need to be aware? I feel like there is something obvious I am missing but the head phones are simply too loud right now.
Thanks much.
