Headphone out broken

Looks like my AR‘s headphone out is broken. The sound comes out low and distorted. If I insert the plug only half way I get clear mono. Any suggestions to fix this without sending the unit to Sweden? It‘s out of warranty unfortunately.

Are you any good soldering?

I managed to build a working Shruthi, so more or less yes. Any clues as to what I‘m looking for? Voltages, etc.?

Oh happy day! Not only did I just take delivery of the OT MK2, I also found out that it’s indeed my cans that are broken :smiley:

EDIT: even better, it’s just the spiral cord that’s broken.

Sorry, just needed to share my happiness.

Excellent - I was about to say have you tested some other phones. No need to start ripping open that AR now. Always good. Enjoy the OT.
