Using Headphones with Decware amps without jacks (Read 4583 times)

Lawson Kelley Verified Member Posts: 13	Using Headphones with Decware amps without jacks 06/26/18 at 01:20:57 I notice that a lot of the used Decware amps don't have headphone jacks and I am looking at selling my existing amp/headphone amp combo to raise money to buy a used Decware amp. Can you rig up the speaker terminals to feed headphones? Anyone have experience with this? Lawson

(I am at the moment keeping it as my brother may have a need for it in the near future). http://vinylflat.com/canopener.html

By adjusting the resistor values, it is possible to get the best possible sound from your amp.

You can check the following link:

As I mentioned at the end of the thread, I also tried different 5-watt resistors at the positive ends of the outputs, yet I do not remember which impedance I ended up keeping on the amp. 85 ohms maybe?

It was still too powerful for the headphones but was definitely useable.

Best,
