Absolutely, the way you suggest is just perfect. One thing to consider is that many tape outputs are not buffered so, depending on the input impedance of your headphone amp, it may load down the preamp section of your integrated, or the source component if the preamp section is passive such as in some Creek products. It is often worse when the headphone amp is not powered up but still connected to the tape outs. The best thing to do is to disconnect the interconnects from the tape out jacks when not using the headphone amp. So what cans are you thinking of buying?
headphone/integrated amp question
Is there a way to use headphones with an integrated that does not have a "headphone output"? Can I hook them up through the tape loops using a headphone amp? Reason I ask is that I am looking at integrated amps right now and one of my short list candidates is the Musical Fidelity A300 but it does not have a headphone output.
Thank you in advance!
