Desoldering braid, a $25-$50 cheapie multimeter, some sort of stand with a clip holder on it for holding wires or small boards, and the best soldering station you can afford. EDIT: Oh yeah, wire strippers

Putting even a 10k pot in front of earbuds that are no more than 32 ohms would result in virtually no signal actually making it to the earbuds. Even if you could get a pot that was low enough impedence, line outs aren't designed to...

My understanding is that silver solder flows better with silver plated wiring. Other than that, I think it is a waste of money. Unless of course you are doing DIYFP, in which case people will happily pay extra just to say their amps...

I don't know of any reason a diamond buffer couldn't be biased into class A as much as you are looking for. A simple tweaking of the first stage bias current and the ratio of the emitter resistors should yield the results you are...

Hey All, One of the drivers in my modded 125s started rattling a while back, and in the course of taking it apart I seem to have broken the driver. I was wondering if anybody else has had a similar misfortune and would be interested...

No reason. We focused more on the overall design, and not so much on the implementation. Caps across the cascoding LEDs would probably help with distortion at high frequencies, and putting a cap between the current mirror's bases and...
