After experimenting with the MG Head OTL connection I ended up with damage to my test cans. Seems like the coupling cap, which goes from the plate of the output tube on one side, and to the phones, then through them to ground, will damage phones, if it is discharged when the phones are plugged in. The charging current when the cap first sees a closed circuit, goes through the cans, till the cap charges up enough to startworking to block the dc. Am I missing something here? Seems like you would need to parrallel the headphone jack with a resistor to keep the caps charged up when the amp is on or something similar.
