Headphones & 990:
(1) I have several AKG Dynamic phones. But I don't want to tie-up the 990 from its use with TV for Mrs. and little ones. So...

(2) I use zone 2 and send it to an external preamp and a Crown D40 amp....this powers my STAX electrostatic phones, which sound great, and are as close as I can come to the recordings made with our AKG mics over the years. Furthermore I can not only listen but if the material has video it is output to a secondary (old, cheap CRT TV). So with this setup I get "two-for-the-price-of-one???"

Great planning on the part of the outlaws smile smile
