I use a Headroom Little headphone amplifier plugged into the 950's tape output. I have two sets of headphones, a pair of Sennheiser HD 600's and a pair of Grado SR 80's. Headroom's web address is: http://headroom.headphone.com/. The current price for the Headroom Little is $259.00. The Headroom Little is a good sounding headphone amp and is very upgradeable.
