I can't give any recommendations for an integrated amp, but there are a lot that do take the headphones off of the speakers outputs, that is amplified through the whole amp. Without knowing if this is done from someone that has a schematic, or manufacturers provided info, there might be one way to tell. If the amp has a preamp amp loop with jumpers, if you take them out (jumpers) and the headphone jack keeps working, that should tell you it has its own amp stage, or at least is not going through the power amp too. If the jack shuts off, it obviously is going through the whole output stage also.
Integrated with good headphone output
Hi all,
I recently bought some Grado SR60 headphones and I'm looking for a headphone amp. I got to thinking a budget integrated (3-400) with a good headphone output is more versatile than a dedicated headphone amp. Any ideas? New or used, old or new, whatever.
On a related note, are most headphone outputs on a seperate circuit from the amplifier output section?
Thanks
