Headphones for setting VTA?

Anyone use headphones to set VTA for each LP? (or just in turntable adjustment in general?)

I am thinking of getting a set of balanced headphones to plug into an extra set of main outs I have on my Atma preamp, which I understand can function as a heaphone preamp. (anyone tried this?)

Where the table is situated, is not near the speakers, and I can't hear the subtle changes of VTA, but I was thinking Grado 325I headphones (which can be ordered with balanced XLR's ) may be the way to go.

Thanks Frank,

I have a pretty good VTA spot right now, and just raise it a little for 180 gram LP's, but am looking for a better way to tweek by ear.

Any other people use headphones this way? I have a friend that use headphones to evaluate cables changes, etc. and swears by it. (Though he has no analog right now)
