Ugh...

I hate having to go after amb. Everything he does is so amazing...

In any case, here's my newly completed Millett Hybrid, both with and without Diamond Buffers.

I haven't drilled the holes in the top plate yet, so that's why it's topless for now.

Came out pretty well, I think.

Now I'm working a custom Cmoy circuit board, so I can fit 2 9Vs in the altoids tin.

As some of you might know, I'm unfortunately getting out of DIY soon and am finishing up with lots of projects around, these will be some of my last creations.

For all the latest pics check out my Head-Fi photo album

Some new stuff:
Pair of maxed out PPAv2

Recased PINT with Mini-TREAD

DIY MisterX's XP Amp (Thanks buddy, it sounds even BETTER than a PINT

)

STEPS 1.0

More stuff coming soon

^looks nice FallenAngel, i love your PPAs with Silmic IIs. What about your sijosae ABs? Did you finish building them?

@Amb - Whoa amb's work is one of the main reasons why i chose the DIY path.

Anyway i just finished building the amp above. It's a very simple 3 Channel Diamond buffers with AD744 as ground channel based off Sijosae's simple diamond buffers

Finished modding the internal wiring in my Dynahi.

Originally I had used microphone cables to connect the RCA inputs at the back panel to the volume pot attached to the front panel. Also inserted that in a steel pipe for EMI protection.

Since the power supply is not going to be close to the amp enclosure, the microphone cable + steel pipe was probably overkill. So I wanted to replace the microphone cables with silver plated stranded copper wire in teflon jacket (the kind of wiring I had before the microphone cable try,) and also wanted to reduce the internal signal path. In order to do so, the volume pot could be placed further back, much closer to the RCA inputs. After these latter modifications, and the recent heatsink extension mod, here´s how the results look:

I was gonna wait till it was done but...

here's my cmoy. I have yet to see another in a Panda black liquorice box, then again, it's not a very good box for a cmoy XD I don't have a drill, but I have three altoids tins (also black liquorice) waiting. The reason the panel mounts are on different sides of the box is because I got lazy and boxed up the second test setup.
Innards (first test setup).

And yes I'm going to upgrade those caps/that opamp, I really should have read more before placing that first order *sigh*

kanamin, what a sleeper

And don't worry, in the future if you continue to DIY, packages will be coming every day, literally.

kanamin: i strongly suggest the opa2227 for your cmoy. i only mention it because i saw it in your sig. it really takes a lot of the edge off of the high end and mellows out the sound a bit. i liked the change.

On the bench

Completed earlier

The term overkill comes to mind, but I did have fun building it !!!
Sorry that some of the pics are darkish, but I don't have a digital camera of my own, and was borrowing a friends.

I'm considering removing the preamp stage all together, as there is far too much gain as there is.

Here's a lovely over head !

... and more specifically the amp/preamp modules ...

... a close up of the PSU for both the amps and preamp ...

... and a lovely closeup of the preamp and stepped attenuator.

This is the right channel ...

... and this is the left channel !!!

Absolutely amazing work!

A Cmoy I just finished, sounds far better than expected and I plan on using it as my portable amp now. Electronically it wasn't a very advanced project for me but everything I have ever built before has been on breadboard and I have never built an amplifier. The case work was defiantly a learning curve having never rearly used power tools, I think it came out ok. The large size is due to my accidental ordering of some very large in size capacitors rated at much higher voltages than I needed. I went for 18v supply voltage (so +/-9v) so that the opamps inbuilt noise rejection features were fully utilised.

looking through this thread is a real education in making nice looking amps, something I need to work on

Seaside,

I'd really appreciate if you could post the layout of your teeny cmoy.

Thanks if possible, it's great.

Yeah, my first impression of the cmoy was a harsh high end, but I'll end up buying and trying all three opamps in my sig.

Ikrit42 what's the deal with what I am assuming is the power button on the front of your millet? I really like it, nice work!


By the way if you want to build me one I wouldn't refuse
