DIY session

Recommended Posts

Q00, I'd have to say, that actually, IMO, DIY electrical components circuit and cable termination are quite a different thing altogether. The skills required are also somewhat different.

lekguan, i suppose so that it is slightly different yeah but it would be nice to see these guys pick it up nonetheless, afterall, they would need interconnects/cables after they build their amps smile.gif

haha... if you guys are really serious. i really might to it. maby a class of 3-5. i`ll get all the components, and we will see how far we get in 1 afternoon.

Have you actually ever built a working meta42/pimeta headphone amp? (someone had to ask this question)

yes i have. i have built many other amps and preamps too, i`m actually more tuned towards tubes.

That's great. I used to hear horror stories about people who fried their precious headphones because of plugging them into poorly built diy amps. In some cases the amps themselves went kaput because of some mistake made during the building process. When testing newly built amps please use freebie stock earbuds. tongue.gif

Exactly right! Before that, measure the offset voltage first tongue.gif

 

First week of December sounds good happy.gif But cannot confirm at the moment.

 

How about place? Need desk and electricity wink.gif

i must agree. it was terribly hard to get my first amp working. really really hard. i had do rebuild it many many times. it was mainly because of poor soldering and bad parts placement.
