Sipher 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Judging by the other components you listed it does however seem that SG$30 was too good to be true. I would still like to see how much it would cost for the DIYers to knock up a basic CMOY amp. I'd like to encourage them to do it so that our newbies have something they can start with. SHG should be for all & not just people who can afford to pay for the expensive stuff. good idea, N@Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jarthel 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2003 opamp is an importang part of the cmoy and there's also the need for a good volume POT as it's also important and the need for good resistors as they are important too. Then again, all the parts are important! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firefox 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2003 (edited) Surely a 1/8" input & output socket is adequate for julery's needs. A panasonic volume pot is quite good actually so an Alps blue is not really necessary. Well... Other components like the caps & Opamp will still cost a fair bit. Plus labour charges.... A good volume pot is essential; Otherwise, you'll get great imbalance at lower volumes. Edited July 23, 2003 by Firefox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2003 Why don't someone try to build one & see how much it ACTUALLY cost. It's a potential money spinner & no one is willing to take it on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a potential money spinner & no one is willing to take it on? hmm 2 ways to make it worthwhile: 1. high labor cost if the quantity is small 2. cheaper labor cost if there's large quantity but for one amp, labor cost would be pretty high indeed!
