oh btw, if I ever upgrade, it is if Meier comes out another even better amp, I really hope if he was able to reduce the amp size by much. That's considerably an upgrade to me
If you have to ask for a charging circuit, might as well as ask for Li-ion battery as that will really slim thing down a bit.
It has a few large caps inside it ( i think they are caps), I guess he might have to redesign those parts as well.
Maybe the caps he uses sound best?
They're there because he considered them best for the circuit despite whatever other options he had.
I wonder how much more battery life he could have given the amp by designing it to run off of a pair of AAs. Then we could use Eneloops (or their Amazon rebranded variety). My rechargable Tenergy 9V block doesn't have as much capacity as one of those, let alone a pair, and it seems that the LT1054 voltage converter/regulator doesn't use that much current itself, which I assume is what supplies the amp with the power that it runs on if it isn't just for the unique volume control.
That's LT1054's job.
