Hello everyone!! I recently bought the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro (250 ohm) and I'm more than happy with its performance. Now, in the next few days I will start my own home audio system, which will contain a vintage technics turntable, a Kenwood Ka 1500 vintage stereo amp and speakers (I don't know which yet). The question is: ¿will the Kenwood amp be able to drive the DT 880? I'm kinda new to mid-fi and hi-fi so I don't know if a vintage stereo amp (from the seventies) can drive a modern headphone with an impedance of 250 ohm.
Here's the specs of the Kenwood Ka 1500:
Power output: 30 watts per channel into 8 ohms
Frequency response: 20Hz to 30kHz
Total harmonic distortion: 0.1%
Damping factor: 30
Input sensitivity: 2.5mV (MM), 160mV (line)
Signal to noise ratio: 70dB (MM), 90dB (line)
Output: 160mV (line), 30mV (DIN)
Speaker load impedance: 4 to 16 ohms
Dimensions: 380 x 140 x 265mm
Weight: 7.2kg
Year: 1977
Thanks for the help!
