After much sweat, blood, soldering iron burns, sore typing fingers, and help from the helpful people in the DIY Amps forum, I finally finished my Cmoy Portable Headphone Amplifier.
IT ROCKS.
Hooking it up to my McIntosh amp (thru the headphone out) and my Koss TD/70 phones, it makes them sound as good as my (dad's) Grado SR-80's without the amp (with the amp they have residual hiss due to their low impendance)! It adds so much more 'presence' to the sound (in the words of my dad, who was amazed when he heard it). Now my dad wants me to make him one! (Where can I get one of the Hansen PCBs?)
The Cmoy has a very nice sound, however because it's relatively difficult to build if you aren't exactly Apheared when it comes to electronics, I'd dock a few points, giving it mebbe a 9/10 or so.
Anyhoo, my dad was so proud he let me order the Etys from SageArts
(How fast is their shipping?)
