In almost all cases you want a load connected to a tube amp. You could hook up a dummy load to it so you wouldn't have to reconnect all the time. I'm not sure how to do it but maybe someone here can explain how.
Headphone outlet on SET amplifier
Hi,
I have an A.E.S.(Cary) 300B SET amplifier which has a headphone outlet. This is a secondary amp & hence is not connected to a pair of speakers.
I would like to to listen to my headphones through this amplifier using the second pre-out of my main preamp to run this amp. I don't want to remove & reconnect my speaker cables every time I want to listen to headphones.
My question, since the amp sees no load, will it be harmful to the amp in anyway, listning WITHOUT any speakers connected?
Thanks in advance,
