Hi, I realize that this is an older thread but I am going to purchase a pair of audio technica m50x headphones this weekend as my first venture into headphones. My question is that while I continue to get a feel for headphone amps and additional cans, can I safely use a Yamaha CR820 receiver in the meantime? Any potential issues to be considered. And hopefully not a totally dumb question, do I have to have a set of speakers hooked up to avoid damaging the receiver? Thanks much, and Happy 4th to all!! Thanks, Dave
great headphone amplification in vintage gear?
I am currently powering some Denon AH-D7000 headphones with an old Luxman L480 integrated and to my ears, it sounds noticeably better than a dedicated Headphone amp Musical Hall 25! The Luxman has a little more hiss than the MH but only noticeable when music is quiet, still it is so much more musical to my ears!
So I was wondering if there is other vintage preamps, amplifiers, integrated amps or receivers known for having great headphone amplification out there?
Thanks!
