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.

For this job I would highly recommend the Sennheiser HD-800 with balanced harnass. These cans will definitely reveal the subtleties of minor VTA changes!
