I set up a simple modification on my Meta42 to test out bass boost. I put a 100k alps pot (from radioshack) and .1uF poly/metal cap in parallel in the global feedback loop (same as PPA circuit). I'm currently measuring 33 mv dc offset with the bass bost level I want (probably around 10k/.1uF), which worries me a bit. As I recall, when I originally built this amp, I was at 10 mv or so without bass boost.
Would this dc offset level be damaging? I'm using k501's (120ohm).
What should I check into for alleviating this offset?
Here's the specs from what I remember:
hi-z crossfeed
overall gain ~9?
(R1-1k, R3-1k, R4 9.09k, R5 1.58k, R6 191k, R7 68.1k, R8/9 short)
no cascode
OPA2778
2x EL2001cn's per channel
