turns out that the left channel capacitor and resistor led into the wrong op-amp pin. Thats fixed the problem and now I'm enjoying the sound of my first headphone amp! yay! I didn't pick up on it before because the previous connection made the amp symmetrical and so the problem wasn't as...

I checked the connections... I found that the wires that connect the power to the op-amp weren't coming from where they were supposed to. ( they were in the same socket as the LED) so I rewired them so that they went through the capacitor first. but it only lowered the distortion... the left...

Hello everyone, Since I'm new to electronics in general I've been having problems with my first CMoy amp. I added the panel components (they are dangling right now) and plugged my MD player into it (source) and then listened using a variety of headphones. Consistently the left channel is...

Argh... silly computer - continuing - Andrzejpw for replying and for replying even though Iposted on the wrong forum (read:still doesn't know what DIY means) Will post there

I would like to thank Magic77, Grinch and A

I'm doing a science fair project about how amplifiers effect sound, and what the components in an amplifier are intended to do (cancel blobs in the head etc.) Finding out what the parts do (alone and in conjuction) will require more help but more important is that I need to know how to put these...

Skip the first paragraph if you don't want the long version. --------------------------------------------- I've recently become interested in headphones. I decided that they would be a good alternative to the steroe system I wanted to buy based on portability, and sound quality. So first I...
