Headphone amp question

Hi there,

I hope this is not too stupid a question, but what causes the speakers to be muted while listening to headphones through a headphone amp?

My current integrated amp has a built-in headphone socket and I need to switch off A and B speakers, otherwise there will be a terrible racket in the house. If you are using a headphone amp and the speaker A/B switch-off facility is not available on the amp, does the headphone amp automatically mute your speakers? Or, do you always require a mute feature of some sort?

Thanks!

Art Dudley's Well-Tempered Record Player followup

I really enjoyed Art's initial article on the WTRP and the fact that it also made it back into the Recommended Components list. I've been a happy owner of the Well-Tempered Turntable Classic (the original, which is like a beefed up version of the Record Player Art reviewed)for almost 20 years now and it's operated flawlessly. I could add a number of thoughts on how great the 'table is but I wanted to address his concern about the platter's concave shape.

Zu Audio speakers

Hi guys;

This is my first post on this forum. I've been reading some interesting reviews on the net regarding the Zu speaker line, especially the druids. Anybody heard these speakers? If so what were your impression? I'm particularly interested in their standmounts the "tones" but impressions reagarding any of their speakers is appreciated. They all share the same "single driver" concept so a lot of the sonic characters will be similar.

Thanks...

Hello,

I recently ordered a set of Logitech z-5500s for $160 shipped (Buy.com had a rebate, free shipping, and $10 off an order for new customers). I got the speakers because they were widely recommended as the best computer speakers that weren't discontinued. General consensus seemed to be that while they could not compare to the quality of using your own receiver/speakers, they were an excellent way to go if you did not have the money to go with building your own set.
