I've been trying to solve a dilemma around here. I often like listening to FM before sleep, but my wife likes me around when she's falling asleep. This would not be a problem, except that she simply won't tolerate a visible stereo in the bedroom (I have them plenty of other places, the guest room, you name it). I have a good, small digital tuner which could tuck into the nightstand out of sight and some reasonably decent closed-type headphones, but no headphone output from the tuner.
My question is this: given that I'm listening to FM (as opposed to some source like vinyl or CD) and my headphones aren't absolutely incredible, what would folks suggest for an inexpensive, small but decent sounding headphone amp? Is there such a thing?
My only other solutions seem to be to get a bigger nightstand and put a full-sized receiver in there. Kinda a waste of space and receiver, though, not to mention potential heat issues. Either that or find small tuner with headphone output; not many of them out there as far as I can tell. I realize you can get MP3 players and such with FM, but that's just not really my thing.... All suggestions welcome, though!
