Hi Folks, This is my first post on the forum. I just bought a Xiang Sheng 708B headphone preamp on ebay. My current system is an Antique SoundsAQ-2004DT preamp with a CD, Tuner and Aux inputs, B&O RX-2 Turntable, Creek OBH-8 MM Phono Preamp, Cambridge Audio P500 Power Amp and a Cambridge Audio D500-SE CD Player. I wanted to listen with some headphones so I bought the headphone preamp since none of my components have a headphone output. Problem is I'm not sure how to connect it! I figure if I wanted to listen to the CD I'd take my CD outputs and run them into the headphone amp, right? And then I could use the headphone amp outputs to connect to the AQ-2004DT pre-amp if I wanted it to go to the speakers - basically just passing through the headphone amp. Is that correct? But what is really confusing me, and I sure don't want to wire anything incorrectly, is how to connect it for the turntable. What do I input into the headphone amp? The output from the phono stage (Creek) or the output from the turntable (B&O)itself?
