Accidentally I noticed someone's CK2III and found it very cool to build such an amp myself. But, I have zero knowledge about amps. I'm just going to order my first serious full sized headphone (something like a BeyerDynamic DT770) and therefor I haven't ever used an amp. Well I used some a couple of times, but they weren't mine and I didn't pay that much attention.
Second thing is, is that I don't know very much about electrics. So mods or things that are not planned are a problem to me.
However, I did build a couple of guitar effects, and what I see from the gut shots of the CK2III it looks like I could build that. But that would be "stupidly following the manual".
So I was wondering if you could recommend me a DIY amp (for low impedance phones like the Beyerdynamic DT770, Shure SRH840, AKG K271mkII, Audio Technica M50, etc)? And that I can get a fairly easy to complete kit with al parts so that I can begin to use the easy to follow manual. The casing + drilling holes shouldn't be a problem, but I should get recommended casing because I don't know what fits and what is handy.
This is my "level". Again, it's all "just following the manual".
So what amp would be handy, of whom it is easy to get all the parts, and which has a good clear manual. By the way, if I take that CK2III, they are talking about a second switchable input - I would like that.
Thanks!
