“Every journey begins with a single step”, I’m only on step two but my feet are already hurting!
OK, step one was to acquire of a set of Ety ER4P’s, (that really hurt my billfold). Step two was to construct a Cmoy, (That hurt the billfold and time, prob’ly spent forty hours on construction and troubleshooting). It was a lot of fun, (except for the cold solder joint on C2 and breaking off a pin on the pot).
Having said all that the sound is great! I faithfully followed design in the Tangent article, with the exception of using a 2132PA amp, and increasing the capacitor sizes. I used a small Hammond enclosure, (1” high).
My question is how does the Cmoy design compare in quality to the more “advanced” DIY designs? Taking “step three” and building something else will improve what? The highs sound a little flat, maybe something with a graphic equalizer?
