RE: Best type of amp for low impedance/high sensitivity headphones?

Thanks for the suggestion. I floated that one to Lloyd at Mapletree, and he feels that doing so modifies the sound too much.

He suggested something similar be done at the output stage -- a short lead resistor in between the connections of the two transformers. He said that his amp has 7 ohms driving impedance, and to try a 100 ohm/1 watt, 1% quality resistor and see how that does. If it affects it too much then go to a 50 ohm one.

It got me questioning any modification so I wanted to get some other opinions. Please advise if you have any other thoughts.

Thanks!
