Re: headphones directly into preamp, possible

IF you have a low impedance preamp, and a high impedance headphone, you can do it. Grados with their 32 ohm impedance will usually not work. Many pro designs which have a 600 ohm impedance work very well.
I've run Sennheisera with a CJ tube preamp, and the resulting sound is far superior to many headphonme amps and some fairly costly ones at that. The impedance match is rather iffy and ultimate volume is limited, but the sound was excellent.
