I'm not sure I understand this. If the audio amp has an 8 ohm impedance
output and we put a 100 ohm resistor in series with it, why would 2000 ohm
headphones work unless they are just more sensitive. There certainly
wouldn't be an impedance match here. The Omni D's don't seem to have this
resistor and regular headphones work fine. A lot of rigs, including the
Paragon, have a series and a parallel 100 ohm res. at the output!
I suppose it would be wise to plug in the headphones before placing them
on your ears in any situation.
