DIY session

[mukegile 0]

Hi Bram...., hi guys...,

sorry for not participating in da' forum lately.....

(hard times @ work ) ...not even touch audio for the past 3-4 weeks..

what I would suggest...perhaps... probably some gathering...

exchange words and some DIY guy can do a mod, then we can watch

how he handle the solder / components..etc...

U will be amazed , how much you can learn from watching ...and of course

asking question to the groups... how bout that

Good idea, but time and place will be the constrain

 

We can plan it early though, like 2 months in advance

DIY phases:

 

1. Study. Study what you want that is the most important thing. Learn what you like from Audio, the bass, the warm mid, the transparant treble, the imaging, etc. Also study what you need to know about headphone, amplifier, and sources,... cables too.

 

2. Planning (including components selection). In this case plan the amp your are going to build. I always spend more time on planning than assembling. Plan the circuit diagram, the board layout, the casing, what components to use, etc.

 

3. Assembling. The fun part Your skill will improve over time

 

That's it! After that is burnt in and listening phase

 

So for newbies, you can start with the study phases

Hi gurus,

 

Personally i think the studying bit can only be appreciated when noobs get their feet wet. Once they got their first project running...slowly and surely the upgrading bit will come in.

 

Now ears are still very waxy....pls. help.

Yea you right! Need something to start with

 

How about this, before jumping to the pool, let's do some homework to know more about the pool

 

Please list a few specification of an amplifier that we need to know.

 

Students must do homework mah....

[sigma 0]

• Output current/impedance
• Gain
• Frequency response
• Signal-to-noise ratio

Let me add:

 

- Input impedance

- Slew Rate

 

Anything else ?

i don`t mind holding a build yourself a meta headamp for beginners class or something like that.

[Guest drumma]

eh! i want to learn and join!!!! can teach me?!!! pls!!!!

[hacknet 0]

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.

[Guest drumma]

u are so kind!! keep me inform k?

 

thanks!

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

thanks hacknet, for offering your help.

 

Guess for noobs any amp goes. What we need is to bulit up our confidences and the correct way to test the circuit, soldering tips and how do's on adding vol. pot, power supply etc.

 

Should I start by having a list of those interested.

Oh man, I just had my data comm/networking test on sat.....and you had to remind me of all these terms......
