i'll come but im an audiophile noob so no equipment

i **think** impedance is important....wont it determine whether u need an amp to get the best sound of your phones. like portable headphones are usually low impedance, because they're running off the portable audio device. but if you get some quality phone sfor home use, the impedance can be...

yayyy so its working, all i gotta do is add a pot....sweet

I'm going to Boston for school, freshman at MIT...maybe I'll stop by this meet if i'm able...granted im an audiophile newbie haha..

i tried steel wool too it works pretty descent but like above said.. it leaves paint in the brim of the top of the mint...quite annoying..

ok i've go the left channel to work(capacitor leads touching bare jumper) but now its insanely loud on both sides. im using low imped(45ohm) v600's as a test btw my gain is 11 as i mentioned(10 and 1), and im thinking this is why its so extrmerely loud. without a pot(which i will add) its...

oops sorry hehe, didn't seem them The balance on left/right when it was a descent volume was dead on. No volume/pot added yet. ::EDit:: Forgot to mention gain 11. I dunno what happened, I went to eat dinner came back and it was just horribly distorted/loud(not the same clear loudness i...

ok now i have a worse problem, now its only playing through right side and reallyyyy loud..... guys help

ok i so i just finished building a cmoy amp! yay, no static or whatnot but there is one concern. if i move the output jack around(its not in the mint tin yet) while the amp is running some music, it gets crazy loud. I'm using the line out of my sony cd player to test the amp out...without...

Thanks MisterX I figured this out only minutes ago on my own, and I felt like such an idiot. At first in my mind i had the pot's r and l in's coming from the input jack...and that the pot's outs went directly to the ouput jacks left and rights. You can only imagined how baffled i was to...

Do C and E do anything on the jack...I see how the jacks and the pot hooks up but how does this hook up to the rest. Is C and E the answer?

THANKS GUYS!!!

I think ppl used altoids tin not only for its small size, but because its also a shielder. The case u have there is plastic...which, correct if im wrong, won't block interference from the outside, thus ruining ur quality sound, like a metal tin does.

With a major fustrating search on this forum I cannot find specific instructions(pin #<> to what) on how to wire pot and jack. Anyone can help this cmoy noob out hehe? Thanks!
