Re: K-2 headphone jack

"One way to eliminate the problem (I have never had it) with the front
panel headphone jack in the K-2 is to use the rear panel mounted external
speaker jack, which is less convenient, but more reliable...While this
will energize only one side of the headset, the jack is a standard 1/8"
mono phone jack, easily replaceable...One could use a monaural headset, or
install a stereo jack and wire it so that both sides of the headphones
work...This will not work if the front panel jack has already failed..."

[my comment]:
I use the rear panel external speaker jack in conjunction with the AF1
outboard audio filter and headphones. Result: Somewhat more operational
flexibility than the KAF2, and both sides of the headphones work.
