Alright here's how it is. I'm an EE student home for the summer where I've got a garage FULL of tools and raw materials. I've got a weathered EE of a father and I live a couple miles from DigiKey. So from what I gather I'm in pretty good shape to make a strong start into DIY, and i'm starting to foam at the mouth with anticipation about this after only a couple days.
I've got some HD600 and no dedicated headphone amp, and I'm very close to buying some ety 4 (s or p someone help me out here!?) so eric i see we're kindred spirits
What I'm asking of you guys is to drop your humble crap and please just tell me with your experience exactly what to buy... preferably DigiKey stuff
and whatever else is common at brick and motar stores (it seems that shipping is the real killer with these guys) I know its mix and match and you have to experiement and i should start with a cmoy and so on but I'm impatient and arrogant and I want to cut to the chase and start as soon as possible. The portability seems cool but i'd definately like to have wall wart as an option because this is going to be my only amp, so i don't mind about size so much if a new board(?) would be easier to work with. perhaps you've done this before... but can you think of a good spec for good but common parts i'm gunna need to build one of these puppies w/o knowing any brand names for myself?? I'd appreciate links and pics and a fullout spec, because you guys are building them so you know what sounds the best and what makes the difference.
I take it Tangent has the boards. should i order one right away with all the default fixings? or do i need more stuff from him as well? command me! tell me to do what you wish you had with your first attempts! feed me info! I'm going nuts here! And above all thank you much
And once again gasping for breath, the young and foolish TaffyGuy signs out...
