Hi all. I am a user of headroom ultra micro stack since i got in this hobby.
this is a question that came up in the headphone amps forum but was reffering to tube amps, and the definite answer was that OTL tube amps doesn't have to be closed circuit (with headphone plugged inside) when turning them on, but tube amps with output transformers should not be allowed to be open circuit and should be turned on and off with the headphone plugged in.
anyway..my question is: what about headroom amps (and ss amps in general)...is it ok to turn them on and off without headphone plugged in?
I hope the answer is yes,because I do this all the time since I bought my stack. i never even thought that it can be bad to the amp in some way.
thanks!
