R2 to R5 Resistor using DIP Socket housing for gain experiment, may be I should using socket for the caps too?
I use OPA2134PA now, but LM358 still sounding a nice result in this second build (at least better than the first build).

 

 
Now using Stereo pot. But this pot is too big, since I reuse the tin from the first build and the DIP socket also eat more space, I have to remove the LED.

 
Adding DC power jack to save battery when I'm at home.

Based on the tutorial, I have to seal the ground from the tin surface. So I use electrical tape and small rubber hose.

What tutorial did you use to help you build your CMoy? I'm using the TangentSoft guide. I like the little holders you have for the resistors, where did you find a pair? I'm waiting to get some wire and I'll see how *bad of a* solder job I do.

the holders are just ic sockets you can find them at radioshack

Ah I see. I didn't know you could put resistors in an IC socket. I've only used them to place op-amps on the board. >_<

i think they probably have to be the cheaper radioshack type though. i dont think the good machined ones will work.

I'm using Tangent's guide too.
Just like what kchapdaily said, I use IC socket/DIP socket. You can buy it in any major electronic parts shop.
 
Btw, another build, resistors and caps are more cheaper in my country
This one is using Alps RK097 pot (the one with switch).

Nice! It looks fantastic. The CMoy I'm planning to build will also use an RK097 potentiometer.

Also, how about a pic or two of the p2p wiring!

its cherry

 
ill take some pics of the inside tomorrow but i didnt do p2p i used a proto board from ratshack

user TestSubject would probably be interested in seeing your protoboard layout...
