ETHER 2: Impressions and Discussion
I got it half price, it does add a lot of fun to my setup. The amp does not have a headphone jack, but would require rca to headphone cable connectors. Maybe if I work out mathematically, with the Dave on minimum volume to the amp to the headphone…. Would that be safe … Reason I’m going down...- ZappaMan

ETHER 2: Impressions and Discussion
I’m lucky (stupid) enough to own an etude, currently using it with my speakers tho. My speakers are 94db efficient, had me wondering, how does that equate to a set of headphones in terms of voltage. I respect that turning the volume up incorrectly would destroy the headphones - so seems...- ZappaMan

Watts Up...?
