best sound card
Hi, I have a set of senn 590's, and am in the process of building an amp. (waiting for parts).

Design a subwoofer for headphones
I have a set of panasonic 'brain shaker' (I believe is their name) headphones that go behind my head... they sound alright, but are very very uncomfortable (for me at least...).. Anyway, on the back, they have something like that... it doesn't quite 'slam' but it is noticable... Here's a...- se7enty7

amplifier PARTS
Alright, So, basically, I can get everything at radio shack that is at 'acceptable' quality except for the opamp? (for a cmoy) This information is a bit re-assuring. However, I think I feel that I would get much better parts by buying stuff from JMT. Anywho, I will keep you all...- se7enty7

Upon reading tangent's tutorial on cmoy amps he talk about a radio shack metal film resistors that come in 50pc. Are these sufficient? Is it possible to get everything at radio shack except for the opamp?- se7enty7

amplifier PARTS
Alright, I cannot spend $200 on an amp, so I have decided to build one. I have build rheobus, lcd's, fan speed devices, and I have a fair amount of knowledge as far as soldering and ohms law, etc. etc. I am convinced that I can build a headphone amp. However, I am 17. I am also emancipated (I...- se7enty7

Building an amp for the HD-590's
I wouldn't have much trouble building it, my problem is obtaining the parts. I do not have a credit card, and therefore have no means of purchasing many things online. However, I can send a postal money order, which you can cash at any US post office. Is there some sort of 'kit' that someone...- se7enty7

Building an amp for the HD-590's
That looks great.... However, it doesn't HAVE to be portable. I plan on enclosing it in a medium sized aluminum project case I have. ( 6x8 inches, depth of maybe 3 inches) and can/should be run off of a wallwart.... Also, where do I find stuff like a Burr-Brown opamp? Thanks se7- se7enty7

Help me choose a set of headphones!
For the HD-497's.... IMO a lot of the people that recommend these must have only tried them temporarily, like at a store or something. I bought these at circuit city for $69.99 and broke them in for over 60hrs. The sounded EXCELLENT for the price. They really do sound great. However...- se7enty7
