mukegile 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2004 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpribadi 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2004 Good idea, but time and place will be the constrain We can plan it early though, like 2 months in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpribadi 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2004 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clemo 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpribadi 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2004 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.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you actually ever built a working meta42/pimeta headphone amp? (someone had to ask this question) Edited October 3, 2004 by av98m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clemo 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2004 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. 1) clemo aka Clement - 98298697 2) 3) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
