I am exploring the idea of headphones with my main system.Source is TT, with a mm phono preamp. I am assuming thereis a headphone amp that I can connect my source to. Preamp is tube, in fact my whole system is tube however I am open toall suggestions for an amp. Currently I have a pair of Grado SR80headphones. What do I need to know about this move? ThanksRichard
I don't believe those headphones would sound much better with an amp, but I could certainly be wrong. A decent headphone amp will run you more than those headphones cost, either way. With that being said, my understanding is that the O2 Amp (made by several companies) and the Aune T1 are the best buys under $200 for headphone amps. Also, the Schitt Modi (or is it Magni? I get them confused)
Thanks to all for the replies. My system is analog only. I have a Doge 8 which I use as a line stage with my Music Reference RM4+ phono preamp. The amp is a Music Reference RM9 mkll. I have a second tt that will be dedicated to phones via a phono pre. I am assuming that I can do that or do I need a linestage?Currently I am using the SR 80's with an old Marantz 2220 and a cd player. Thanks
