Just as a coda to the
SEG and headphone question, some users [me, for instance] may have missed the variable gain facility housed behind the volume knob. This adds flexibility and means that choosing a pair of headphones for the
SEG is easier as you can match the gain to complement impedance of any set you may wish to try out. I was able to fine tune the gain to suit my Sennheiser HD700s [150 Ohms].
There are full instructions on how to do this on
www.beresford.me/S/instructions.
Basically turn off the unit, set the volume to 0, then pull off the volume knob (takes some steadily applied force).
You will then see:

The screw on the right can be turned with a flat head screwdriver: left to reduce gain, right to increase gain.
Here is the default setting:

Here is the screw set to maximum:

Matching the
SEG's gain to HP impedance allows the unit's headphone out to perform at its full potential.
