Highend tube preamp w/no headphone jack - help I wanna get a pair of phones
You should at least look into a real headphone amp; what kind of budget would you be looking at?   
Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps
I think an included cheapo stock cable that you can get for a few bucks on Amazon is a 'nice-to-have' in case you don't have any extra power cables around and you want to make sure the device works, but it's not something I would get bent out of s... 
Your method for discovering great music.

@simonmoon - Holy cow - you actually know of Strange Days??? 😳  That's great, Simon! Are you in the UK? I was hoping that when Peter left Genesis, they'd get hold of Graham Ward of Strange Days - he's got it going on with songwriting, singing styl...
