headphone amplifier

[Rjpd77]

Hi All

I have a Technics SL-1200MK2 & a Synthesis soprano tube amplfier. The soprano has no headphone out. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD599 which I use to listen to Maranntz CR610.

Question 1. Would the iFi Audio Zen CAN Headphone Amplifier be a good choice to allow me to listen to vinyl (Technics - soprano - iFi - headphones)? Any other suggestions? Elsewhere on this forum Jasonovich mentioned the XDUOO TA-66

Question 2. Would replacing my Sennheisers with the Grado SR325x be a good upgrade? Any other suggestions re upgrading the Sennheisers?

I suppose I'm just looking for assurance that all the components will complement each other and that there is no weak link or no component that is too 'good' for the rest

Thanks a mill

Please excuse as I might be having a dim moment but your amp only appears to have inputs, no outputs. Where do you intend to get your feed from for the head amp?
Grado are marmite headphones, suggest you try before you buy.
