Amplifier used w/ headphones and no speakers connected, can it be damaged?


I have a Sugden A28II integrated amplifier. I am using it with a pair of AKG headphones. Speakers are Harbeth HL5s.

Can the amplifier be damaged if I remove the speakers? I no longer use them.

Short answer is no, it won’t damage the amp.  Headphones are supplied signal from a different source inside the amp.  Since you have no speakers connected, there is no load on the main amp.  I’m surprised you don’t have a speaker on-off control?
