I already posted this question on another thread, but thought I ought to start one separately for this discussion. I'm starting to shop around for some HPs now to plug into a vintage Yamaha CX-1000U preamp. Has anyone here used this preamp to drive cans? I've never owned audiophile HPs before and I'm very tempted to try out a set of the Grado RS1e. These are 32ohms I think, and the spec sheet of my preamp claims the head phone jack is rated for 4.5V/100 ohms. Guess that ought to work out with no need for a silly HP amp. About .6 watts I think. Any thoughts on this combo? If I order the cans from Crutchfield, I would have 60 days to return them if I don't like them.
