    6sn7 headphone amp for grados

    Eduard Orvisky's Audio Page can be found here: http://www.geocities.com/oviktor/aud9.html It looks like he removed the schematic though. I'll try to post it here.

    Yet another CMOY troubleshooting thread

    From what you described there are only 3 things you need to recheck: Miswired (or short) Backwards capacitor or a bad opamp The easiest thing to do is verify the cap polarity, then throw in any compatible, cheap opamp and see if it works. If not, you'v already narrowed the problem down...

    wire-wrapping

    You cannot place opamp power rail decoupling caps, MOSFET gate resistors, and other "distance sensitive" components using wire-wrap. There will be additional noise and/or oscillation if you do.

    wire-wrapping

    It's great as long as you don't try to build any high-speed circuits with it. Wire-wrap can be kind of noisy.

    Anyone Ever Order from ELFA

    I was looking for HP amp enclosures. I would like to have a good Hammond enclosure source. My main concern is: I am in the USA and they are in Europe. I ordered something from China once and it took more than a month to arrive!

    DIY'ers! Little LED Help Here...

    If your just replace the LED with the same color you should be, "at least close" to the right voltage and current. Here are some reference points: Red LEDs: approx. 1.7 volts @ up to 20ma Green LEDs: approx. 2.0 volts @ up to 20ma Blue LEDs: approx. 3.6 volts @ up to 20ma Each color has...

    So you wanna power ur SR71 with AC->DC psu? here you go!

    First check to see if the two 9V batteries are connected in series (probably so) on the board. Next, see if there is continuity between the junction of the two batteries and circuit ground. If their is, you should only use a power supply with a V+, V- and ground connection - not a two-wire wall...

    Help with my Power Supply

    The -S and +S is for remote sensing. You can leave them blank or ... Connect the +S to the +Out and the -S to the -Out for slightly better regulation. Here is an example: http://www.power-one.com/technical/remote.html

    Silver Mica Caps

    A lot of guys think these sound better than Polypropolene. Silver mica is used all the time in high-end audio for coupling and decoupling. Take a look at this: http://www.thlaudio.com/soshinmnE.htm

    soldering - dumb idea?

    The heat from the soldering iron will crack the glass sooner or later. I know from past experience.

    Grinding Soldering Iron Tips?

    If the original tip came with a silver-colored coating on the tip, don't grind or sand it. If you do you will have solderability problems.

    Size of caps. Does it matter

    Most older caps tend to be larger because of the materials and mfg process used to make them. Modern caps can be mfg'd with the same amount of capacitance in a smaller package (like surface mount caps for example). I read somewhere that smaller caps tend to have a higher ESR than the larger ones...

    Cmoy Build Problems

    You keep saying two 9V batteries in series "doesn't work". What do you mean by that? To me it means you have a short in your circuit. Do this: Put back the two 9V series batteries and turn the circuit on. Then measure the voltage across the batteries. If you don't get near 18V, you have some...

    Cleaning a soldering iron tip, 100%?

    All "decent" soldering irons have a hard metalic coating on the tip that should never be removed or scraped off. If you do, the tip will not be receptive to tinning and the solder will just bead-up on the tip.

    Cleaning a soldering iron tip, 100%?

    Carefully... use a small wire brush on the tip while it's hot --> apply more solder --> wipe with a damp sponge. If that doesn't get the tip clean enough for you, toss the tip and get a new one.
