Hooking up a headphone amp via the tape loop is the preferred way to do it, because it takes one volume control out of the signal path.
Preamp & headphone amp hookup - I need your help
Okay experts, if someone can help me figure out how to make this hookup without blowing something up I will be very greatful! I have an Audio Refinement Pre5 preamp (which has two sets of preamp outputs, a tape monitor, remote control but NO headphone jack) and an ASL MG-Head tube preamp. Since I can't afford a new preamp right now that has a headphone output I would like to hook up the MG-Head to my Pre5 if possible. Here's what I'm thinking of doing after researching the subject online:
Connect the MG-Head using the Pre5's tape monitor loop; set the volume to 12:00 on the MG-Head and be able to control the volume using the Pre5's remote control.
I'm not sure if this would blow up my amp or preamp so if anyone knows if this will work, or has an alternative solution, please let me know. Thanks in advance for your help.
