Does such a beast exist? I'm stuck with a Carver M-400 (200W/ch) to
drive my headphones. It seems like slight overkill....
My headphones are Signet TK-33 with an external adaptor which connects
to standard speaker outputs and my preamp has 2 amp outputs.
All replies greatly appreciated,
Dave

i forgot to mention that, because you said you used an adaptor to connect to your amp, that you were running electret or electrostatic headphones. i don't know which the signets are. Herb Chong... I'm user-friendly -- I don't byte, I nybble....
