I am also interested in finding out more on the topic....lately I find myself browsing through the for-sale ads for headphones, but my current setup (pre, cdp or amp) does not have a headphone jack. It would be great if I could avoid buying a separate HD amp. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread...
Earphones driven by preamp RCAs?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of driving headphones off the preamp RCAs (my pre has no earphone jack)?
The eaphones have an impedance of 300 ohms. The preamp has an output impedance of 325 ohms, SE. For good listening, I need to turn the preamp volume to about 12:00.
Would a preamp with a phono jack, or a dedicated preamp do a better job?
