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.

Regards,

As others have stated, running a solid state integrated sans the speakers will cause no damage. Most integrated amps with a headphone port automatically disable the speaker output when a headphone is plugged in. If your HL5's stop out putting when you plug in your headphones, you'll be fine without them. You will also be safe when swapping phones if you have more than one pair.
