Adding headphone out to diy tube preamp?
Posted: Wed May 09, 2012 12:43 pmI recently built a VTA SP8, and would like to add a headphone out.
It has an output impedance of 1k ohms and I use 32 ohm grado headphones
Could I just get a transformer with a 1k primary and a 32 ohm secondary, and put a switch to select between my output jacks or the transformer?
It seems like nothing is ever that simple...
I also thought about adding something like a CMOY parallel with the line stage, or after the line stage if that would work better, also on a switch.
Ideas?
