 Would anyone know if the  headphone  section of the bp17 would have more power than my bp25?   :scratch:

Since no one has answered.. I would guess NO.

And I would say if the BP-25 does not seem to have enough power.. It would be the mismatch of the phone's impedance. (which I would guess is way too high)

So the route to follow would be find headphones with a lower impedance..

On the other hand maybe 110dB straight into your ears is not a good idea?

Another thought.. If you are trying to use the headphone jack to drive external powered speakers? Don't.
Use the tape out.

Hi

I spoke with engineering and they are the same gain.
