Hey. I went to Audio Demensions, the audio department inside of the great indoors (www.thegreatindoors.com) and saw the headphones for $250. I then went to Tweeter Home Entertainment and told them the advertised price, they said they could not beat or even meet that price. I went to another Tweeter Home Entertainment, they said that they would not only meet it, but beat it by $25. So I got them for $250, then -$25, plus another -$50 from Sennheiser's website (offer is over now) so I really only paid... $250-25-50=175! So yeah, I only paid $175 for my Sennheiser HD600's with an MSRP of $450, that is $275 off the retail price, which is 62% off the retail price. What a deal eh?!
Now I am building a CMoy amp and having some issues...
1. I got the wrong capacitors
2. I forgot the potentiometer
3. It say it is a one channel amp... but i want stereo... am I just messed up the head?
4. I have no clue if I got the right OPAMP, I got the TL082 Dual Bifet OPAMP from Radio Shack (Part# 276-1715)
5. Some other minor things.
I know that this is not the best amp, but i really don't even need one, and I just wanted something to do, hence why I did not care to get super quality parts, just the best Radio Shack sells.
This is the amp I am building, as if you did not know haha.
http://headwize.com/projects/cmoy2_prj.htm
271-309A::50 Piece Metal Film Resistor Assortment
274-246A:
2) For stereo input and stereo output
276-1715:
2) TL082 Dual BIFET OPAMP
272-802::::20 Assorted Electrolytic Capacitors
276-149A::General Purpose Component PC Board
278-1223::18AWG electrical wire
276-2400::5x5 inch Antistatic Conductive Foam
275-624A::MicroMini Toggle Switch
276-309::::5mm Wide Angle Red LED (1.7V-20mA-800mcd)
276-079:::
5) Snap-in Panel Mount LED Holders
64-009A::::Rosin-Core Solder
A 9V Battery
A 9V Battery connector
Altoid (Cinnamon Flavor) Tin
Total was more than expected, $33.31. I will return the capacitor pack I bought since out of 20, it has NONE that I need haha. I am going to use the potentiometer design instead of the switch as you can see.
So, what did I mess up?
I know I should have gotten the 276-310 LED, but they were out, this was the lowest powered one they had, and is clear which is nice, and i don't care if it is not super bright. Longer battery
Any help would be great.
Also, i wanted to have the audio simulator built into the same altoid can...

think it woudl fit? i would just have two mini plugs still, input to the similator, then out to the amp just using cables then out from teh amp via another mini plug. waddaya think?
Also, what is the best solid state amp for these headphones for less than $100 that I can build from the headwize site, or otherwise? I see so many there but really don't know which to build. Thanks!!!!!
