I am a fan of the philosophy "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" but as a constructive criticism I WOULD recommend that you try re-flowing your soldering work. It looks like most of the joints are cold, as the solder isn't...

*SIGH* I really don't want to complain because Todd has been through a lot of crap over the whole HF-1 fiasco, but come on, 20? I feel like with that few you would be better served to raffle them off at $10-20 a ticket at the...

I have a business flight from noon to 5 EST that day. I'm changing it I copped out on the first run because I was short on money and I've learned my lesson!

Questions 1 and 2 are difficult to answer straight away. I can't really offer you any advice there other than that having 16 ohm cans doesn't help. Even still, it shouldn't be really loud. 3) 18V is not needed, but it ensures that...

I feel the long leads connected to the film caps offsets a lot of their benefit. The whole point of putting film caps close to the op-amp/buffer/whatever is that you get minimum impedence.
