[QUOTE="afroaudio, post: 1073100, member: 15197"] I have been pleasantly surprised with the headphone sonics of some old Sansui integrated's AU-555 for example into my humble 70ohm HD25s also a Pioneer valve integrated. I think they all divert speaker level output to the jack via resistors. I suppose one could replace the 2 resistors (probably carbon comp wide tolerance parts) with modern 1W 1% metal film and hope for better channel balance as well as fitting a new high quality socket.. might be more than ok in the end and possibly suiting higher impedance cans better?
