Hey guys, i just finished building my first CMoy and i love it
Its nothing special - standard 1% resistors, standard capacitors and an OPA2132PA.
Firstly, would the potentiometer be okay as a volume control:

Also, how on earth do i hook up the potentiometer?! I have a single gang, normal size, potentiometer here that i am trying to hook up to a single channel but nothing i do seems to work.
Input jack: Circuit board:
(left) ----= =--- (Where the left channel usuall connects to, a capacitor)
(ground) --= =---- (ground)
(right) ----= =--- (Where the right channel usuall connects to, a capacitor)
and if the potentiometer has 3 prongs, 1 being left, 2 being centre and 3 being right, what do i do with that all??? I have tried connecting the left channel from the input jack into prong 2 and connecting prong 1/3 to the capcitor, but the volume doesnt change
, i am well and trully confused.
Lastly, if i just plug headphones in and walk around the room with the cmoy plugged in, when i go around to light switch and other things there tends to be a lot of static - now, i did put lots of soldier on but i dont think it woulda been that much more than i meant to.
Thanks a heap
Any help would be much appreciated,
Rob.
