Connecting a Naim headphone amp.?

Posted by: Jaybar on 31 October 2000

My pre-amp is non Naim with only 1 tape loop. Does the naim headphone amp have an output which will allow daisy-chaining of the headphone amp and a tape deck with a single tape loop? Creek affords this option, but I would rather not use the creek headphone amp.

Unfortunately the answer to your question is "no". The Headline has a captive interconnect for connecting to the tape output on your preamp but no output jacks (save for the 1/4" headphone jack, of course). In other words you do lose the tape loop. Naim North America can supply a Headline with RCAs on that cable instead of a DIN plug.
