AKG 1000 Electrostatic phones work this way, but are pricey

I have never tried this before with regular headphones, so the following is just a guess and that is giving myslef a lot of credit.

Put your Non-AKG 1000 headphones on a fireproof surface. Cut off the jack terminal on your headphones. You won't be needing it any more after this. Strip the leads and wind them around the binding posts of your amp. Nothin fancy needed.

Turn on your "unit" and crank it up to 5PM. I am not sure if this will damage your amp or not. (It has a fuse n'est pas?) But if you've got anything more than 2 watts coming out of your amp, it will take care of the headphones.

Let us know if something else happens. Good luck.

Here is what I am sure of:
1. Someone here has tried it and it didn't work so well.
2. Someone here has tried it and it did work, but there's a secret.
3. Someone will tell you try it just for fun (me).
