Does anyone know of any commercial products (other than our common headphone related stuff) that utilize the buf634 or tle2426?

It's true. I remember being grounded if I didnt get A's and 100's in grade school.

Your tle is wired incorrectly.

With bass, mid and treble control, a lot of people enjoy the colored sound from receivers much more than standalone headphone amps. I recently listened to an old sony receiver and it was a fresh and fun change from the clinical and relatively colorless sound of my headphone amps.

ero is nice.

it seems you're not the only one with problems. link

PINT is essentially a cmoy with a ground channel. Also, I like the sound of the panasonic pot much more than the alps used in the PINT. The alps control used in the PINT reminds me of the cheap scratchy 100k ones that are sold at radioshack both in tracking and sound.

I can send you a few feet of kester 63/37 rosin core .025 in an envelope if you need. Shouldn't require too much for modding headphones. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Can't get an unbiased opinion on amps where such differences in build quality and components used is vast.

Regular Cmoy's and A47's don't get much discussion because there is no one that really sells a consistant and finished package for it. I found it to be more of a DIY'ers amp. Most of the amps being discussed here are a finished product where someone regularly builds, sells and provides...

Ordered this from circuit specialists on impulse even though I have 2 other irons. I hope it turns out to be decent.

I recall many times where I took out an opamp partially from the socket to finish removing them with my hands only to have the opamp pins stab deeply into my index or thumb.

bird flu capital huh

Would this work in the PINT? ebay link Too many for my needs but I think someone could get this for a decent price. The prices for comparable wimas at mouser are too expensive.

Most people request USPS when I ship out of the US. Below are a few reasons why I dislike shipping international. 1) It takes me 30 minutes of brisk/fast walking or an 1 1/2 hour ($4.00 for a roundtrip fare) for public transportation and the closest USPS post office is always packed with a...

I don't believe in fancy cables. Average priced one are perfectly fine as long as they're made correctly. What kind of material do you guys think make up the contacts of the output jack from the source and input jack of the amp? Then it has to travel again from the output to the headphones. etc...

Working in auto parts a customer comes in complaining about the bill. Him: Why did you charge me 127.23? Me: Can I see your receipt and bag please? Me: You bought a battery 59.99, 4 motor oils etc etc. (everything was correct.) Him: No it's not..you overcharged me! Me: (Rung up the order...

I find the alps volume/switch pots to track pretty bad at the low end compared to the panasonic which also doesn't track that well to begin with. The panasonic also feels much smoother when adjusting the knob compared to the gritty noisy mechanism of the alps.

You can use pcb tin plating products.

Lower the gain and increase output resistors.

The RA1 uses the alps volume controllers from radioshack. I experimented with these and they always had a gritty sound to them. ymmv

The govibe is a clean design with no input capacitors to color the sound. I'm thinking it either has insufficient voltage to power your headphones or you expected something that altered the sound from your source.
