[TenTec] stereo headphones with Corsair II

[Allan Taylor]

And nobody actually responded to my question...Please, guys, if
you don't really have an answer or experience with the actual
question, please don't waste bandwidth... My question was known
to be a long shot and I already have a working fix. It is just ugly and
sticks out awkwardly from the front panel. And, no, I don't want
two different types of headphones floating around the shack.
