Phono Preamp with headphone out?

Postby zachd » Thu Feb 09, 2006 1:03 am

Does such a thing exist? a RIAA phono pre-amp that has a headphone out jack so you could plug in without having to run out to a big amp and then headphones?

I guess it wouldn't technically be just a pre-amp, but a pre-amp plus headphone amp.

??

I googled around, didn't find one.

Any dj mixer does exactly this, unless I am misunderstanding what you need.

Yeah.. like a dj mixer.. but.. without the all the other knobs and faders :)
Just phono in -> headphone out .. maybe volume knob...

One thing I am thinking it maybe just get a small phono-pre amp and then run the RCA outs to a RCA to Mini-Input cable then it could go right in to a little headphone amp.. such as a Red Sound headphone amp which is what I have..

That would be something like what I am looking for.

I also see that some stereo pre-amps do this and they are pretty minimal without too many knobs and all..

Also, this would be cheaper than a mixer or full blown amp also..

sounds mysterious doesn't it

Check Behringer. They always seem to have quirkly little items like this (and for cheap too). If not them, try a cheap mixer (low end Stanton or Gemini).

That's all I know about. Good luck.
