OK, could someone please explain to me the general relationship between the ratings of headphones & amps?
When selecting heaphones to work with the jack on your amp, what is the 'minimum' impedance you can run based on the specs? How do you calculate it?
I'm not interested in any specific headphone/amp combination, but the rule of thumb to follow...
For example, if the specs for headphone jack are:
Rated output - 0.3V @ 8 ohms
Impedance - 680 ohms
A min impedance for the headphone should be ____?
ohm my gosh I can't figure it out...
THANKS!
