I recently purchased a Fatman I-red itube: Link: Fatman iTube Red-i with Speakers

This amp does not provide a headphone jack and only really has speaker outputs.

Is there anyway to rewire my Sennheiser HD580 so that I can power them with this amp? Specifically, i was wondering if there was an adapter to connect my headphones to the speaker output?

Is this even advisable given the specs of the amp?

* Power Output: 25Wx2
* Frequency Response: 20Hz - 20KHz (±1.5Db)
* Harmonic Distortion: ≤0.5%
* Signal-To-Noise Ratio: ≥86Db
* Input Impedance: 100KΩ
* Output Impedance: 4Ω, 8Ω
* Valve Type: 2x6N1(ECC85)
* 1x6E2(EM87)
* Power Supply: AC100~120V/50~60Hz, AC220~240V/50~60Hz
* Dimensions: Amp: 450x220x210 mm ( WxHxD), Speaker: 330x315x210 mm ( WxHxD)
* Weight: Amp: 5.8kgs, Speaker: 6.8kgs


Thanks

On one of my tube amps I took a large 8 ohm resistor and placed it in parallel across the speaker terminals, one for each side.

Then you take a headphone jack/adapter and wire it across the resistors. Works fine.

Thanks for your reply. I am a noobie when it comes to do it yourself projects.

Would you mind sharing the products (link, product number) that i would need to do this? I have very little idea where i could find a 8 ohm resistor or a headphone cable capapble of plugging into the back of my speaker output.

thanks very much
