Quote: I am checking with the BOM for the CMOYBB and it specifically calls for  C3+, C3-, C4+, C4- 0.1uF, 50V Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor   for the above. Kind of strange why they are asking for ceramic after understanding the inherent problems with them. Thanks.

I am hoping to use: Cap .1UF 50V 10% cer radial for the CB-R and CB-L.   Quote:

so the cmoybb bom calls for:     CB_L, CB_R WIMA 0.068uF Polyester Film Capacitor, 63V, 5% 505-MKS20.068/63/5   $0.25 2 $0.50    CB_L, CB_R Kemet 0.082uF Polyester Film Capacitor, 63V, 5% 10% 80-MMK5823M63J01L4   $0.22 0      CB_L, CR_R WIMA 0.1uF Polyester Film...

so sorry for double posting. please delete.

Sorry to bump an old thread. This seems like as good a place as any to ask a question concerning parts for the CMOY build. I'm going to build 4-5 of these CMOYs for friends. My concern is what parts should I be purchasing extra assuming I break/fry/etc? I don't want to pay to have different...

My first foray into audio electronics will serve as an introduction to the basics of circuits, soldering and the like that is inherent in producing an amp. My gear all require amps and later improved DACs. Currently, I have Swan Diva M200s (multimedia speakers) that were purchased in 2002. They...

I'm probably going to buy the 300ohm version. What is a suitable portable amp to complement the same?

I just received my Corda Arietta amp today. I'm having issues with sounds; more sound is being channeled to the left channel then right. Initially I was able to remedy this by turning up the "play control" in Windows through the "play control." I am not sure where to start and did not want to...

I just purchased the HD595's today. Is this what I need to supplement them?

A few years ago I had purchased Logitech z-640s. I some how stumbled across glueycwal who posts here and sharkyforums (audio). Before I knew it I gave my z-640s to my room mate in college and purchase Swan Diva M200s. An amazing purchase. Currently, I'd like to purchase floorstanding...

Quote: As far as larger sealed phones go there are not all too many aside from Audio Techinca's that have the SQ to compete with the IEMs. what is SQ & IEM?

I just began re-visiting this forum as I'm interested in purchasing a pair of cans. Not much has changed, what was good two-three years ago is still good. Reassuring, when making these so called 'investments' in depreciating assets -- which one may even consider a liability. Regardless, one...

I'm open to all options. I am not interested in purchasing an amplifier for reasons of portability. Sure there are options for those interested in traveling with an amp, but that's not for me =]

what do I need to say to solicit responses? I would like to try to make a decision today, because I'll be using them for travel and poker

may I join you hi-fi clowns =]

the obvious answer is yes. here's why:: IPod's are mass marketed, they are effective mp3 players, but mp3 sound quality is usually limited. additional constraints are the stock earbuds which aren't that great or comfortable for that matter. $150 can buy a very good cd player
