dumb question re: headphone amps

Hi.

So, if you want to listen vinyl through headphones and a dedicated headphone amp (tube or SS), do you need a separate phone stage?

Your headphones plug in the 1/4" jack on the headphone amp, & then are nested on your ears. Remember the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. Enjoy!
