I'll try taking it into my 138 or 132-3 but I think the level will be too low. I am taking the audio output from my Korg Radias. I have tried both the line out on the back of the Korg and also the amplified headphone output from the front.

I read on Muffs that you can upgrade the A119 by changing the chip, but results seem to vary.

A-183-3 thoughts anyone Dieter

Cheers
