So, my dad came home with a receiver from work. An Aristona 6742 (philips). Here is a picture of it:
I have no idea about how old this thing might be, but I am sure it's older than 10 years. The only information I could find was a on www.hifimuseum.nl (a dutch website) and this website didn't provide any additional information about it. Just a few pictures.
It has a headphone output and that's great. There is a small problem though. I have no idea what kind of thing it is. It really looks like a electrostatic headphone output, but it's not the exact same thing as there is on stax amplifiers for instance. It has 5 holes instead of 4. (one additional in the middle)
My questions are: How do I identify this? Does this have to be a electrostatic output or can it be a dynamic output? If it's a dynamic output can I get a headphone jack converter so I can plug a 1/8 or 1/4 jack in there?
Something which you should consider if you answer this question: I am a complete noob for as far as the inner workings of an amp go.
P.S. I will post a picture of the output as soon as I can find a camera.
Edit: A picture of the headphone output itself:
