He said he tried it but no improvement.

Most Gemini's and other low cost DJ mixers with 1/4" inputs that I have
seen
usually have a high Z input.

I bought the Behringer VMX 1000 but gave it away. It let me down in the

I think I'd rather slap myself with a dead carp rather the show up at a
live
gig with any kind of DJ mixer for a headphone amp. Fortunately I have a
small stack of Rane HC-6 for when the need arises.
