Would it be worthwhile buying a headphone amp for my phones? (Grado

I'm currently using the headphone socket on the Audiolab 8000S.


Nath,

How are the Grados through the headphone socket on the 8000s?

Sounds very good, doesn't distort etc. Not too harsh or dull (Grado's have
been reported as a bit forward) I'm just wondering if there will be a
difference between a dedicated amp or Audiolab headphone socket. My CD & DVD
players both have a headphone socket. I might try and compare them.

I'm
sure the headphone socket actually uses the 8000s power amp section.

Interesting. It should be pretty good in that case.
