Absolutely. I'm thinking of it more as learning platform for electronics than a finished product. The parts could end up anywhere.

I was thinking about replacing the amp board with a PIMETA next.

The transformer seemed like a good deal, but I must admit to being suckered by the aesthetic appeal of the over-sized toroid

The case is the coal-tray from a portable barbeque. I can't believe how expensive "real" cases are. (At least where I live).

Lovely job cetoole, what sort of paint is that?

Nice job fault51 and colin!

fault51: is the cable you are using the 2 conductor shielded teflon wrapped stuff? If so, how is your experience working with it? I always seem to have fun stripping the jacket without tearing up the shield!

Hey!
not much compared to the builds I've seen, but my first DIY amp.
Big thank you to Chu Moy, here's my 18V Cmoy

Got some new headphones today!?! (they sound great - can't wait for them to burn in!!)

And no picture of the GUTS!?!

Nice box. What type of box did you use?

 

[ls206]

thank

sorry..
here's a shot of the "bottom" i can't get the top because it's held in place by the pot. Batteries are stuck using double sided tape.
Is it clear enough to see my shoddy soldering? never done any like it before, and the board absorbed all the heat!

The box is a plastic enclosure by maplin
One of these...

I completed my 4x2 Passive Audio Switch this week. Labeling scheme has yet to be implemented. There was a ton of hum on the first test. I reviewed the useful comments by FallenAngel and AMB on my initial plans, and saw that I was having an obvious problem with the grounds. Fixed it a few minutes ago and it works as good as a Radio Shack unit!

What RCA jacks are those? Do you have a PN at Mouser or Digikey?

I ordered them from Antique Electronic Supply (Antique Electronic Supply). P/N S-H267B & S-H267W @ $2.95 each. Also ordered the knob and switch from them. Excellent ship times and outstanding customer service.

I am sure with the nice connectors and switch, yours is much better than a Ratshack unit.

hey sorry for the slow reoply, yeh it is the cable you mentioned. Its a bloody nightmare to strip (Well it was at first!). In have developed a more gentle approach as i worked on the amp.

cheers

I have a 10mm panel with lovely milled corners, its too thick for me to work on but i will sen it of to FPE, have a recessed know and jack etc. Its going to look good.

By the way, i did the case work with a $10 drill and step drill bit. They are a must have for all DIYers.

Where did you get the power button from? Very nice.
