Got to buy a new Headphone Amplifier
My old Behringer Powerplay has finally caved in after 17 years of usage! So, any recommendations? I need it to be rackmountable and with lots of outputs. I was looking at the Art headamp 6 which seems to be exactly what I want and a good price.

I use a ART, 4 X, not a rackmount. It works nice. I say go for it. @

And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

I thought I'd throw this at you. I just joined this band and we use this at rehearsals and some of them use it live. Anyhow the sound is very good if you use a set of studio headphones and it's so nice not to trip over wires when you move around. The headphones will have to have the 1/8" jacks. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AS900SysK7 We have 5 body packs. I think they were $ 120 each. Its unlimited how many people can tune in. There's a way to have 2 mono mixes using left /right. It even has a hard wire output we send to the drummer who doesn't need the wireless. We each have our volume right on the body pack. Lot more money than a hard wire but I'm going to start out with 1 channel for the studio and add body packs as money allows later. It will save having to constantly fix wire people yanked apart.

Bristol_Jonesey My old Behringer Powerplay has finally caved in after 17 years of usage! So, any recommendations? I need it to be rackmountable and with lots of outputs. I was looking at the Art headamp 6 which seems to be exactly what I want and a good price.
this is exactly the same thing I did. I had a behringer powerplay (the one with 8 channels) and it stopped working correctly, so I replaced it with the ART Headamp Pro6, rackmountable (which my behringer was as well). I love the ART! works great!

I upgraded my headphone preamp to the Behringer Power Play PRO-8 about 5 months ago. No complaints so far.

not the same cost ballpark, but I have had a Rane headphone amplifier (6 outputs) for years, it works, sounds great, can get louder than I'd like, and did I mention it sounds great? It is also insanely flexible. Check it out! I also have a Stewart headphone amplifier (4 outputs) which is no longer made, which is a shame, because it is a close second to the Rane, and it was less expensive. Maybe look for a used Rane HC6? Really just amazing piece of kit!!
