okay i just brought every thing for my cmoy amp for 5 dollars (minus the OPA2132pa) including the IC socket and the audio jacks and micro switches

So good deal?

How about you come back and ask us that question after you got a working amp?

 

[Cmoyamphelp]

ya i don't know why it isn't working for me i get sound but it's very disdorted do you have any ideas

 

[Wyloch]

Carbon or metal film resistors? What are their tolerances? Are you using input caps? Everything grounded?

 

[Cmoyamphelp]

i am using 220UF 25v caps and i also have 220uf 35v caps and metal film and i have also carbon film

every thing seems too be grounded

 

[Wyloch]

Try and pull the metal film input caps. They can sometimes harm sound quality. Although, that's more than likely not the problem, it's worth a try.

Is the sound that you are getting at least amplified? Even if it is distorted, is it at least louder than normal?

ya it's amplifing but just very distorted and not worth using

Check your solder joints and wiring.

how'd you manage the switch and jacks for $5? last i saw, the switches alone are $5 on digikey o_O
