Hey everybody, I've made a CMOY but I'm not 100% ready to make the jump to a fully balanced setup as I'd have to modify my headphones to utilize such a setup (at least that's the way I understand it). 3 Channel amps, if I understand it correctly have 3 amp boards, 2 driving left and right, and 1 pulling the ground (like if I made a 3 channel b22, I'd have to construct power supply, case, and 3 beta 22 boards, if I understand it correctly)... Gross sort of explained it to me at the meet, and the way I understand it if you wanna stick with a normal TRS connector it's the way to go.
At this point I know my weakest link isn't my amp, but in order to move upwards to a higher quality can set (I'm leaning towards grado's with GS/PS1000 pads), I'm probably going to have to replace my lowly CMOY with something a bit more serious.
The building and skill part isn't much of cocern, my girlfriend is more than willing to help me with the build and with her experience almsot any amp design should be easy. She was pretty confident that a beta 22 would be easy, so if that's any usefulness to you...
It seems that a 3 channel beta 22 would be great, but the footprint of such an amp would really take a toll on my desk space. Can any of you reccomend something that would be a good step from a CMOY between it and a beta22?
