Hey guys lead me in the right direction please.
This was my first amp project, and I commend Jason for the fast service on the pcb's.
I built this amp hoping to pump up the sound on my Laptop's output. The volume level from
the amp before turning to distortion is lower than the level I'm already getting is what
I'm trying to say. Am I using the wrong amp for the wrong purpose? With the 6171 installed
I was getting nothing but distortion, with the 6171 removed it sounded decent but not as loud
as I want before turning to distortion. The amp degrades my current sound performance by 25%,
as far as volume(before turning to distortion) output and tonal quality. Are the amps more
for portable type units than the application I'm using it for? Would a DC power supply rather
than the 9volt battery I'm using make a difference in sound ouput? Guide me in the right direction
on the applications for using this amp. The sound I'm looking for is loud and clean, a better
set of headphones might be the answer...these sony mdr-v600's are middle of the road borderline
junk headphones anyway. Any thoughts are appreciated.
regards,
HoBo
