You can add a headphone amp to the "tape out" of either your preamp or your integrated (if it has one). A second amplifier out will also work, but in that case the volume control on your pre or integrated is in the circuit. Or, if your CD player has two outputs, you can take your headphone amp right off the CDP.
calling all headphone gurus
I need to add "privacy" to my hifi experience in order to not disturb others around me.
I understand I can accomplish this in at least a few ways I already know about (CD player and/or amp with built-in phone jack). But, none of my current pieces have this capability. So, what do I need to do? Can an outboard headphone amp be "added" to my integrated amp and /or pre/amp combo, or do I need to sell my current amplification gear and swap out for an amp that has a phones jack? The CD player I use is not subject to change which is why I isolate the amps as the items subject to sale.
When answering, please let me know about the "how" to acccomplish this as well as the products that may be good.
I use Fi pre/amps, Exposure integrated and Ayre CD. Thanx, folks.
