Subject: Re: (Headphone/LineOuts) Confused as to why...

Thanks everyone. I guess that was kind of silly, sorry. The difference between the an1x and an200 is interesting. The an200 seems a little 'lighter' or 'thinner', still using the presets though...

This caused me to doubt all the cables and connections, so I rigorously unplugged everything. Found the best cables I have and ran thru all the equipment 'outs', all the mixer 'ins', in order to get a birds eye view on the situation.
