First of all, apologies to be creating yet another cmoy thread. I've now built three of the buggers, and yet there is always something that seems to need tweaking/could be better. The latest one is almost exactly to Tangent's instructions, but with bigger caps and a gain of 6. If anyone could...

I'm wondering how one would go about making a very simple cmoy (even simpler than the standard cmoy!) without a switch, whereby it would automatically turn on when the input and output jacks had jacks in them, like the Fii0 does. And while I'm here, could one use 1/2 W reistors rather than...

So, I have completed my first CMoy, and it is now nestled in a lovely Japanese sakura-tea tin, and it makes my Head Direct RE2s sound surprisingly good. The only thing is that every second time I turn it on (using the switch) it makes the sound distort and drastically reduces the sound quality...

Hello, I'm a newbie attempting a cmoy, and have soldered everything on, and done my first test, with the sound coming through loud and clear. The only issue is that the R1 resistors seem to be getting hot when I plug in the battery, although nothing else seems to be getting hot (some...

I am about to embark upon my first Cmoy, and have assembled almost all of the parts, but I forgot to order the C2 capacitors (0.1 µF polypropylene film cap (large!)* according to Mr Tangent) and have picked up a couple of caps that I was wondering if I could use instead. They are 0.1 µF...

Hello grizzled Head-fi veterans, I am a complete newbie looking for advice, proabably just like all the other complete newbies. I had a pair of Shure E2cs which started developing cable trouble just after the warranty ran out, (where the cable connected to the right headphone) and decided...
