My headphone adapter showed up today! That little tube amp makes a very nice headphone rig for not too much change...

Explain.
It seems like a nice setup, but why not just use speaker taps?
Do tell about the amp too. Looks like something I might need

You can only plug banana plugs in, I would probably F' it up' if I tried to go any other route.
I really like the looks of the adapter, and it works off of banana plugs too.

Look Here

Ebay

I paid 50 bucks less going the route I did, only took a couple of weeks for the headphone adapter to get here from China.

That is a marvelous ‘little’ system!

I like need versus want…

They are in my ears: they are Good Eustacheans…

I'm totally tempted to get one just for the sake of using it for a headphone amp. Fab up a banana plug to XLR interconnect and good to go.
Pretty cheap. Be interesting to hear how well it'd compete with a dedicated headphone amp at the same price

I'd love to see a picture of the innards of that little adapter box. I want something like that for my future tube amp purchases

New toys showed up today!

Sophia Electric Blue Glass 6SN7's. They BARELY fit, now let's see how they sound!

I don’t like the way the envelopes appear to be touching. May lead to problems in the future (hot spot etc.).

Best I can tell, it's just a bunch of resistors to pad down the output to "sane" headphone levels. IIRC, that's pretty much what the better manf. do with the headphone outs on their stereo components
