I think that could be one of the most expensive DIY iPod Line-Out cables ever... Now we just need to use the Next Gen Silver instead...

p.s. that cable should be in the DIY cable gallery

Finished this A47 recently. It's the second amp I've built. Nothing fancy so no inside pics. The only thing to inform is the potentiometer which is an Alps RK18 (never heard?). The two 2134's are fed by 12 batteries located in a different enclosure (not shown). Power is transferred via 4-pin mini-DIN.

I built this to power my 595's but I still prefer my stereo amplifier so I'm planning to sell this one (send a PM if interested, Scandinavia preferred). Next up, Dynalo. Everything is already planned, only the money is needed...








This was my first post but I've been reading Head-Fi for 8 months. It's been a fantastic source of information (but a nasty thing for my wallet).

Why did you use 2 OPA2134's? Wouldn't 2 OPA134 be same and perhaps suck less power at the same time?

The A47 uses an opamp in each stage, so you need either four single channel, or two dual channel op-amps.

That's a very clean-looking case job, Tsappis. Very nice!

Welcome to Head-Fi, and I was going to say sorry about your wallet, but when your first post is in the DIY gallery, you clearly are already on the road to financial ruin.

Thanks for sharing the nice pics.

Finished my Cmoy a couple of months ago, I designed the layout with the aim of fitting it into the smallest enclosure I could (a cigar tin) with a 9V battery. It has two circuit boards, one on top of the other. It's a standard cmoy but without the input caps. Opamp is socketed and there's a zener diode for low power LED shutoff.


The paint has got a bit scratched





Edit: The designs for this amp are now at http://www.rohan-amped.net/compactMoy/

Thanks! The cigar tin is a bit less than twice as long as a 9V. The dimensions of the tin are about 3.2" x 1.2" x 0.9". The cigar brand is "Cafe Creme". If anyone's ever interested I'd be happy to share the layout.
