    Watts Up...?

    Yeup. Im stupid. When you put it in terms of the data stream it makes perfect sense why differential is not a thing. I should have known that too. The first part though is something new. I'm not familiar with dynamic element matching. This might be where Im getting lost and how 10 elements...

    Watts Up...?

    Thank you for the response. I have watched that video serval times. I get that one edge is always canceled by just 1 other edge. I even understand how choosing the number of elements is related to the resolution of the PWM signal. Where I lose the plot is when we look at each element...

    Watts Up...?

    The one thing I still don't quite understand is pulse array. I get that you have a number of elements that have all been slightly time shifted such that 2 elements will cancel for any given edge of data, but I don't quite understand how this works. In my mind, this means you have 10 slightly...

    My DIY electrostatic headphones

    I know this is a late reply. While you do need reinforcement, it is actually a pretty small problem to solve. The big problem is actually finding the mesh or going through the process to electroplate it yourself.

    Where should a clumsy useless fool like myself get started with DIY? 😂

    You are going to have to learn about electronics to some degree in order to properly design a set of speakers. Most speakers require a crossover which means you will be doing a little bit of circuit design. Start with learning how to build power supplies. Everything you will build will need a...

    Low-power speaker amps as headphone amps

    You really want to be using a resistor divider instead of a simple inline resistor. This page here goes into detail about what values you should use between your headphones and amplifier of choice. https://robrobinette.com/HeadphoneResistorNetworkCalculator.htm

    Is there a list somewhere of existing DIY headphone amp plans?

    It's not impossible to build a 300b amp for under 1K. You will have to put in more work, but it is doable. Antek and edcor are your friend. Doing some rough math here I am coming up with 400 bucks for your power transformer, choke, output transformers, and filament transformers. You can find...

    Is there a list somewhere of existing DIY headphone amp plans?

    It's gonna be tricky to keep it under 1K, but there are designs out there that will work. Here is a solid design that can get you started. https://audioroundtable.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=5883&start=0&

    Gadget to measure headphone output impedance?

    You could just use a dummy resistor and a multimeter and get a close approximation for cheap. But why are you doing this and what do you want to achieve? Are you having a problem with an amplifier?

    Aegis DIY Tube Headphone Amplifier

    Have you confirmed you even need to switch the winding outputs? I would have to sit down and do the math to figure out what sort of gain loss you have through your output tube, but your 6sl7 has a gain of 70. Let's play devil's advocate and say you get a total system gain of 50. With 2.83v of...

    L0rdGwyn's DIY Audio

    Be very careful with monolith. They do make some decent stuff, but you have to be very judicious and read the spec sheet carefully. For instance, their low end 300b transformer actually has more primary impedance than their higher end transformers. If you want a 300b transformer, look at AE...

    Replacement Output Caps for Singlepower SDS tube amp (OTL)?

    Maybe I am confused or something, but what part of what I said makes you think I wouldn't agree that film caps are better than electrolytic. All I said was to not waste his money on mundorfs and suggested that he take a look at temco caps.
