  **  Quite usable.

  Ignore that fuckwit Turner's advice - for headphones you only need to
supply 1/10 of a watt at most, any more will cause hearing damage. Matching
the tube to the headphone impedance is simply crazy.

 Just connect the phones ( 30 to 50 ohms) to the 8 ohm windings of the OTs.

 A lightly loaded tube output stage will have lower THD and wider high
frequency range then when "matched."
