Headphone hook up

gdphoto

Hi everyone, I have a Hafler DH100 preamp. I does not have a 1/4 inch headphone jack. I have a pair of AKG Q701 head phones that I would like to use with it. Is this possible and if so, how would I do this. On the back of the DH100 on one side there are 3 sets of RCA jacks, Phono, Tuner & Aux. On the other side there is the Line output along with Tape & Record. Could I use a Y adapter in any of these RCA's?

Usually when a preamp has a headphone output there is a circuit specifically intended to provide a sufficient signal to drive headphones. It might be better to use a headphone junction box connected to your power amp rather than try to use the preamp.
Or, of course one of the many low priced headphone amplifiers.

Thanks Ken! My power amp only has line in and outputs for the spaekers.

Could I hook up a headphone amp to the aux or tape out? Saw this one on ebay.

Hello,
Yes, that would work fine. You can also use one of these:

This would connect to your power amp and allow you to power the headphones directly.

Cheers, Ken
