Millett "Starving Student" hybrid amp
the BOM which is created from Dsavitsk stated that the ohm for the stereo pot should be adjusted according to R16/R17. i am not really sure why as well but maybe this gives a smoother volume control ?- howc

#1 : I thought you have to match your pot resistance with R16/R17 resistance. so if you were to use 50k ohm pot, you have to use 50k ohm resistor for R16/R17. As for your headphone impedance, i am not really sure about this but low impedance phone needs high gain. I would say 10k ohm pot and 10k...- howc

Best speakers around $100
Looks good! but i've just found a 2nd hand M200 MKII speakers, used for a year and still got 1 year warranty on it. They cost AU$500 brand new but i managed to dropped it down to $200 and i'm gonna listen to it on Sunday. So which one would be a better choice? the AV40 or M200?- howc
