Hi,

This may be a really dumb question, but, I'll be brave anyway.

Does anyone know where I can buy a dual RCA male connector to headphone female so that I can run my headphones from my pre-amp out section of my amp until I can purchase my headphone amp.

Thanks a lot for any help.

I wouldn't.

Your line level outs are expecting more impedance than your headphones will provide; it probably won't have drive current for low ohm headphones anyway. You can try, but there's a better solution for about the same price as your converter plugs.

Make a voltage divider to run off your amp's speaker outputs... only takes 4 resistors and a headphone socket. A great example is over on HeadWize in the Headphone FAQ: http://headwize.com/faqs.htm#amp
(specifically version 2)
