    headphone amps

    First post for a new member

    I guess I'll need a headphone amp since the RSX 1055 doesn't have a headphone jack. I'm not familiar w/ headphone amps at all. I assume they connect to a receiver just like any other separate? Any good/bad brands I should look for? Oh, and what should I be looking for in a headphone amp?

    (I have Grado SR60s)

    Sorry to move your first post, but it really belonged in Audio. It's not specific to Rotel. Welcome!

      Hi ya CK, welcome to The Guide. This is one of those "depends on your budget" questions. First off, with the Grado 'phones, I'd recommend a Grado amp. Here are two to consider:
      1. RA-1 (Battery) for $315.00
        RA-1 (AC powered) for $425
      Now, if you wanted to spend a bit less, try this Creek:
      1. OBH-11 for $199.
      I don't have a separate headphone amp so I can't really comment on individual plusses/minuses, but all three of these are generally considered to be good solid amps. Good luck, and let us know what you get (and how it sounds).

        Head on over to www.head-fi.org for more info on headphone amps. I personally use a Musical Fidelity X-Can amp and I am very happy with it.
