Three of this stereo cross-feeding adapter have been sold; one remains to be sold. The one remaining will be the last available. The XNET is a passive cross-feeding circuit connected between a stereo power amplifier and a pair of stereo headphones. The cross-feeding characteristic of XNET mimics for example hearing the sound of one speaker of a pair of stereo speakers at the far ear as well as at the near ear. Most music recordings are engineered for reproduction via speakers and thus are not correct for listening to with headphones. XNET is a passive circuit (aka not battery-powered). Also XNET is very unusual and additionally beneficial in that connecting it between amp and headphones only very slightly lowers volume. Also unique for a passive device, compatible rated impedance of headphones is 16 Ohm to 300 Ohm. An amplifier suitable for driving headphones thru XNET would be solid state with a volume control and an output stage capable of directly driving lower impedance headphones. A tube amp is not recommended. Minimum load seen by the amp for a pair of headphones connected to XNET ranges from 16 Ohm to 34 Ohm for rated headphone impedance from 16 Ohm to 300 Ohm. XNET has been made stubby in having a 3.5 mm stereo jack in the case of the device. Also the 3.5 mm stereo plug of XNET is on a short 6.5 inch cable. Case of XNET measures .75 X 1.5 X 3.0 (inches).
