icyspawn 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2006 hmm... here's my problem... i am using a Yamaha AVR... everyday i use speakers and at night i use headphones... but seems like there is no way i can leave the headphones plugged into the AVR and change the sound output to the speakers... thus i was told to get a headphone amp. as i'm pretty much broke now... how much would the cheapest headphone amp cost? and where to get it?

heady 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2006 Cheapest solution is to unplug the headphones when listening to speakers. I think the cheapest commercially available headamp will be the PA2V2 which I think is around S$100+. You can search for it on the internet and order it on-line. Otherwise, make your own! It's fun.

It's fun. well... i currenly unplug the headphones... but cos i do it on a daily basis... it wont be good for both my AVR and the headphone jack right? from past exp i spoilt my soundcard headphone jack that way... after a few mths no sound or only from 1 side... i dont know how to make my own either lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

afbug 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2006 Well it certainly looks nice. But dunno how it sounds. I like the 3.5mm and 6.3mm outputs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
