  For headphones I decided to get some Audio-Technica
ATHM30 
If you haven't bought the headphones yet you might want to pop 
for the ATH-M40fs.  Many users think they are better than the 
Sennheiser HD280.

  I was puzzling how to connect the mono output from the
preamp 
 to the stereo line-in on the sound card. In the end I bought a 
 dual mono 1/4" to stereo 1/8" jack lead. This seems most 
 sensible to me, though I was wondering if a straight stereo-stereo 
 would have worked?? 
You could just plug a mono 1/8" jack into the stereo line-in.  
The mike will be on the left channel (tip) and the jack shaft will 
ground the normal right channel (ring) input.  By using the dual 
mono to stereo, the right channel line-in is connected to an 
"antenna" that could cause some noise (but it probably shouldn't 
be a problem).
