Hi,
I love the sound of my Audible Illusions Modulus 3. I was thinking about creating an external tube buffer stage such I can drive a couple of 32Ohm headphones.
Super simple design: 6N6P anode follower, impedance matching transformer (maybe home made?) and a super silent regulated PSU.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
 
Lundahl makes output transformers for headphones.


BUT a Sowter 8665 Headphone output transformer would be my choice if I went for an AC coupled cathode follower / Aikido cathode follower.Wiring option 12:1 gives, with an ECC88 and about 600ohm output => 4,2 Ohm output. But bear in mind you need some power for driving your headphones.
