Hi Cat,

It seems the 6e5p is driving the transformer directly. I've used various versions of even simple mosfet followers to good effect at the headphone level, but never considered using a speaker level transformer.  Did you and Dmitry consider scaling down the SS version of the Milq you showed us in a different thread?  I'm trying to understand the thinking behind the approach and how it correlates to your desired end result.

I do have a need for a headphone amplifier and quite a bit of my music has been heard through various and mostly unsatisfactory methods.  The current amp uses a very simple and fairly regulated triode driving a mosfet follower.  I was considering trying a few collected pentodes (7721, EF86 etc) to drive a headphone transformer for my beloved grado phones...this loudspeaker transformer method is making me rethink some of my output plans.

Regards,
C
