I dont understand schematics, and I am not quite sure I understand why speakers or resistors are not needed. But as long as I can enjoy good music, without blowing the amp up, it is god enough for me. Maybe the schematics also can tell me why I sometimes loose sound for a few seconds in one speaker, but when plugging headphones in I dont have the same problem? Thanks again for your fast answer.

It is fine, just leave the headphones in. You could fit some 10w ~20 Ohm resistors to the outputs if you are really bothered.

I would like to use my MS-6V6 as a headphone amp. Can I do that without having any speakers connected? My concern is that I blow up something when speakers are not connected. Thanks. Hi there.

Powered subs have such a high input impedance that they are effectively zero load. You can connect it however you want. It will make no difference. For convenience you could use whichever terminals you currently have free. You will need a sub with high level inputs or you will need to knock up some kind of L-pad attenuator if you only have a line level input. Sub siting is well outside the scope of this website but information on the topic is all over the web. Dan Hi Doug, I’ve deleted your duplicate comment on the welcome page.

What would be the best method of connecting it and siting the powered sub? Coud the methods be used on any 2 channel tube driven amplifier? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
