Dave I would not risk it. Some amps are designed to have a load across the ouput terminals of the receiver/ amp when powered on. You would not know without asking Yamaha. You can always send an online inquiry to Yamaha tech support although they may take a day or 2 to respond.
great headphone amplification in vintage gear?
I am currently powering some Denon AH-D7000 headphones with an old Luxman L480 integrated and to my ears, it sounds noticeably better than a dedicated Headphone amp Musical Hall 25! The Luxman has a little more hiss than the MH but only noticeable when music is quiet, still it is so much more musical to my ears!
So I was wondering if there is other vintage preamps, amplifiers, integrated amps or receivers known for having great headphone amplification out there?
Thanks!
