    Hagerman Audio Labs "Tuba"

    I submitted the updates as well today so it should be reflected shortly on Headphonesty. Also added notes regarding the now disabled crossfeed circuit and availability of walnut panels. Cheers!

    Hagerman Audio Labs "Tuba"

    [The design is reminiscent of retro laboratory or industrial equipment. It’s a heavy dark grey steel case with minimal white lettering and a pointed plastic knob. The look is aggressively understated. No polished wood, no polished aluminum, and a bare minimum of switches and controls, means that...

    Wrote up my build log with tips, tricks and info as an article for Headphonesty if anyone is interested. Designed to be a one stop shop for info. If anyone thinks I missed anything important, just let me know!

    "Millett Hybrid" redux: NuHybrid headphone amp, using the Korg Nutube

    A few updates to my build. Copper lined the case to combat RFI. Installed a Khadas Tone Board DAC internally (which of course required fabricating a new rear panel). Added a yellow power LED for the DAC on the right side of the front panel to balance the amp power LED. Overall I’m really...

    Thanks Pete! Board arrived a few days ago. Assembled that afternoon! Power supply works well. Designed a hardwood case that will hold both boards. Aluminum stock will be used for front and back panels. Now my question is, does a classy nutube badge exist for purchase? Or perhaps a Pete...

    I've got one of these cheapo Chinese 24v power supplies kicking around. Any concerns with it working with this? Noise or something else I haven't considered?
