I am the satisifed owner of a Rakk-dac and tube preamplifier. Now I want to build a headphone amplifier and I liked the simplicity of the schematics on your web-page (the one and only schematic for a headphone amplifier) using a 6H30 and the LL1630. The headphones are not bought yet, but i expect that it will be a Hifiman HE-500 ( Efficiency: 89 dB/mW Impedance: 38 Ohm) Audeze LCD2 (Impedance: 60 Ohms, purely resistive Efficiency: 90 dB/1 mW) or LCD LCD-X (Impedance: 22 ohms, purely resistive Efficiency: 96 dB/1 mW). Is the amplifier in the schemnatic suitable for such low impedance headphones? I am a newbie with tubes and output transfomers, but good fellows on a Norwegian forum have suggested that maybe 6C45 and LL1664 eller 1663 migh be a better choice. I would very much appreciate your view on this, or if you could suggest another suitable schematics, preferrably a simple SET one. Best regards Gorm |
