Adapting 3.5mm headphones plug to 1/4" Jack


Just bought a pair of HifiMan Ananda Nanos which are 3.5mm and want to plug into 1/4" phone jack on a Sansui AU-101. Want to play vinyl and the phono stage is really good.

I know this is not ideal, but short of installing a 3.5mm jack on the front panel is there a high quality adapter?

Thanks Frank. Well the decision on the AU-101 was its tube like sound and really good phono stage (waiting on the one I bought to arrive) mostly for a small speaker based system in my bedroom. In addition I want to be able to demo used turntables in a show/fair type environment where decent headphones would really be the way to hear the sound quality when you can't really play music through speakers. I didn't realize the headphone output wasn't that good. 

Thanks for the adapter link - I will check it out.

So then maybe a new question would be what is a decent sounding affordable way to play MM tables through headphones? Not need for critical listening. But maybe a good bang for buck headphone amp with phono in or two separates would work too.

OK follow up question after some research...

Looking at the Ifi Zen Phono 3 - it looks like it does exactly as I need and seems a lot of people like it. It has a Balanced 4.4mm jack. Sooooooo what adapter is good for that to 3.5mm?

Sorry no experience with headphones so this is all new to me.

Frank - also looked up lyrics to Shout. I know the song - had no idea about the reference. User name is just a play on words (typical guy with a one-track-mind and music tracks)
