im new to this forum but im having trouble locating some plans for headphone amps. i was just woundering if there are any on this forum that alot of users use.

its just me but if there were maybe they should be stickied in the diy forum.

im interested in building my first headphone amp. i am well versed in electronics but i am having trouble getting started. i like the ease of a cmoy amp but not sure if that is the best place to start.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Head on over to the Headwize library. Many plans and schematics.
Headwize... Chu Moy... cmoy.

There are tons of well thought of designs in use by many members here... just browsing through the first few pages of this forum should give you threads for many of them.

If you know a thing or two about electronics don't start with a cmoy. Make something better. www.headwize.com

At the time that I post this, there is 9 different amps listed on the front page. You need to look a little bit harder.

Def the mini3. It is easy to build and sounds great. Cheap too!

Mini3
Cmoy is almost a right of passage... That said, easy, cheap, best sounding has to go to the Mini3.

does this cmoy amp look any good?

if not, who has amp kits that are forsale?

 

[Billyk]

No kit needed. Here is everything you need to spec the parts, where to get them, and better yet good advice as to why.
For a Mini3 go here Ti sells the PCB and hard to locate parts and spec out everything else you need.

You can get the parts from Mouser, Digi-Key, just to name a few. I use Mouser for most and Digi-Key for what I can't find at Mouser YMMV.
