Headphoneus Supremus
I just completed my first real amp. No RadioShack opamps or capacitors, or Planter's nut can enclosures this time. I built it basically to Tangent's instructions in his tutorial except I modified it somewhat like Apheared's 47 amp. Basically I added a second dual opamp right below the first one and connected the whole thing according to Apheared's schematic. When I first hooked it up I found out I miswired the headphone jacks, but once I corrected that the whole thing actually worked. The first thing I noticed is just how much more bass there is in this amp compared to the first amp I built. And this thing is a lot louder than the other one, too. It is powered by a single 9V battery. It is all enclosed in a Serpac H65 case.
I socketed the chips so I could experiment with different opamps. The unity gain opamps are both on the second chip, while the voltage gain opamps are on the first chip. I am using OPA2227PA chips right now. Anybody have suggestions for other chips I should try?
