McIntosh MA 2275 - Headphone Jack Debacle


Just purchased an McIntosh 2275 Integrated tube amp. Imagine my suprise when I discovered that the speakers still play when the headphones are connected to the amp.

I asked my retailer if I was doing something wrong, he called McIntosh and they repsonded by saying that a) I was the first person to discover this and b) they have no solution to the problem as they never made any provision for this functionality. Makes we wonder why they even bothered to put a headphone jack on the unit.

Any recomendations for headphone amps?

Will the 'mute' switch permit you to listen through headphones while disconnecting the speakers?
When I use headphones with my MA2275 with the speakers muted I can adjust the volume to the headphones.
