So is it true that any tube speaker amp, with a headphone output will be optimal, and preferable over an OTL amp design powering low impedance headphone loads?
Furthmore in such a design with a headphone plugged in and speakers disconnected, Where does the unused power go? Being that speakers need several watts and headphones need only a fraction of that. Do the output transformers behave like a power soak coil for the power tubes?
thanks in advance
