Why not use a linestage after the phono stage and plug your headphones into the linestage, assuming it will add enough additional gain to drive them?
Minimum Cart Output for 30db Gain Phonostage
So, I have a Benz M2 with .8mv of output. I'm looking at getting a phono stage with a headphone jack (which is the only way I will be using these two pieces of equipment together). It is the Bellari which is rated at 30db of gain. Am I pushing it? Will it be plausible sound quality to a reasonable listener?
thanx in advance, Joe
