Nect I noticed the large 'Live Chassis - DANGER' sticker, and so died
my plans for a headphone socket.

Thanks to all for the posts, and I survive to plot another day,


Wimp! :-)

Plenty of loudspeaker isolating transformers rated 1-2Kv between
windings.

If you really think that discretion is the better part of valour,
why don't you get a second-hand stereo VCR, plug it into your hi-fi
and plug your 'phones into that?
