    No thoughts on this, surely someone's tried or at least thought about this...

    I think I'll check out Head-Fi and see what I can find - I'll post here with my findings...

    You cannot tie the grounds together because it is a non common ground amp. Therefore to use as a headphone amp you would need a custom 4 wire cord breaking the grounds apart.

    Avantgarde horns, 300b tubes, thats the kinda crap I want... :D

    hmmm....that sounds difficult...plus I'd need some kind of adaptor to go from the mini-jack on a pair of headphones to the speaker terminals on the back...so that won't work...

    Also, you won't get a very good power transfer with the high impedence headphones. You could couple the output with capacitors but that could cause sonic problems.
