    Meta Mint aka Minime!

    Check out this version of the cut Mint board. You have to machine out some material from inside the case to make room for the battery. The small Hammond case is quite a bit smaller inside than an Altoids tin but it makes a really cute portable amp...

    Alps Blue 50k questions

    Does anyone know if Alps RK 27112A 50K is the correct one for the Meta? I am going to order some from THL Audio in Taiwan and this is the part # they give. Also, does anyone know the pin layout of the Alps for non board mount situations?

    Where to apply power to the Meta board

    OK, I've built 2 Cmoys and a Meta 42 but I can't get the Meta to work. I ordered the wrong D1 part so decided to try the amp anyway. I have been really carefull about battery polarity, but without D1 or D2 I can't seem to figure out the leads. I have the neg battery wire going to the round...

    Cmoy input caps

    When omitting the input caps on a Cmoy, do resistor values change? I know about the risk of leaving out the caps but would like to try it anyway.

    What is your choice of headphone which most readily highlights the differences between headphone amplifiers?

    (BUY NOW) click-oops Just ordered Sony MDR CD3000

    Holy schmoly! Now I know I really need help! When does this stop? We need a new forum category for all the headphone-aholics around here, and I'd be lining up to join! Seriously though, I do need a very revealing headphone and am hoping this will be the one. From the threads I've read on the...

    Meta 42 R3-R6 values?

    Hi, I'm a complete newb with DIY electronics. I've got all the tools and some of the parts for my project. The board and other parts are coming from Tangent. My problem at the moment is finding the values for R3-R6 assuming I'm going with a Jung multiloop configuration. I am also unsure of...

    Thinking of building a double Cmoy

    This would be my first DIY project. I would like to build a pair of Cmoy headphone amps in a common enclosure, (9v battery powered) the purpose being for two people to listen to the same TV programme with different makes/impedences of headphones. The amps would be fed by a common RCA input...

    Question to ATH W1000 owners

    New W1000's on the way! Does the 1/4 inch headphone plug screw on like the lower end models, or am I going to need a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter to connect to my Meta 42 which has 1/8 jacks? If an adapter is needed, which do you folks recommend?

    more on the Sennheiser PX100

    Well, I got these today mainly for use with my portable Grundig radio and i have to say they sound very good to me. It probably is a matter of taste but I definately prefer them to Koss Porta Pro. They are way more comfortable, have a soundstage and a more balanced sound. I had to take the koss...

    Need headphones that GROOVE!

    OK, here is a list of my travels through the headphone world in search of nirvana, which to me should be sonically accurate but musically involving. Oh yeah, and I have a 'wife induced' budget of $200! I am really stuck right now and floundering all over the place. I need some good advice to...

    Senn HD 600 PORTABILITY

    I'm frustrated by the lack of portability of my HD 600's, and also by the somewhat bloated bass and lack of dynamics. It seems a single headphone can't provide all the answers and to this end I've tried; Grado SR 60-too thin sounding Grado SR125-better but not by much Grado SR225-best of the...

    HD600-Mini me

    Sorry for the grabber, but I am having a very difficult time deciding on a suitable replacement for my HD 600's. I love the sound, but need better portability and ease of drive from a portable CD player or Radio. I have tried in vain the following: 1) Grado SR125-325. Too coloured/...

    Uncompressed audio to HD player?

    Perhaps there is an obvious answer but anyway here goes. Is it possible to load uncompressed audio data to a HD player like an iPod or Zen? If possible, How many CD's could say a 40gig player hold? I just don't think I could tollerate a reduction in sound quality versus a CD but I would like...
