Just finished my first DIY audio project. CMOY of course. I learned a lot of what not to do and how to do things easier (use less ground wires -looks like a mess, huh?) with this project. Great learning experience. A few more and I'll be ready to tackle my Millet Hybrid.
It's really not as bright as it looks, My camera seemed to of exaggerated it quite a bit. Looks like a signal beacon for a lighthouse in that picture! I debated just drilling a hole and sticking the LED through it, but didn't like the unfinished look of the hole.
MINT w/ OPA2227
Clear Blue Serpac case
using 2x 9v batteries (Accu 270mah)
I had a time getting this amp cased up. The Serpac case is a tight fit with 2x 9volt batteries. I knew from the start that I wanted to mount the power switch on the side of the case. I also used a wide angle LED mounted directly to the PCB to give the inside of the case a little illumination. You can see the LED on in a couple of pics there. Looks cool in the dark.
The MINT itself was a really easy, quick build (except for case work ) but I don't really care for the sound that much. I assume this is due to the OP Amp I am using. Almost has a muddy sound with no real punch in the bottom end. I have not tested it with all my headphones yet. I will change the amp at a later date.
