Are Headphone amps worth the expense?


I have a Mac tube amp and grado phones. Would I benefit from a headphone amp? How are they hooked up? Thanks for any thoughts.

If it sounds better than what your currently hearing, than yes. Otherwise no.

Sorry for the smart-aleck answer, but as with all things audio, any component, even expensive ones, can be better or worse than whatever you currently have. My headphone systems sound much better than most speaker systems I've heard, but I've spent many years getting my headphone systems to the level they are at. And to me, a tubed headphone amp is indispensible.
