I just finished my first cmoy. It's not housed yet, and there's a loose connections for the power (I broke a 9v clip and need to get a new one and poorman soldered it real quick) and the power cuts in and out if I move it around too much, but this was my first time soldering. I had to use braid quite a bit

It sounds nice though. I'll do some troubleshooting this weekend and hopefully house it. But I'm pretty proud of my ghetto cmoy.

how do you like the sound of the h10? i am looking to pick one up as a backup.

 

[odoe]

unfortunately i don't have much to compare it to
it definitely sounds better than my sansa e250r

with this amp, i think it sounds great
at least for me
rockbox can have little hiccups on it, but it definitely sounds good, even unamped i was very satisfied with it

also
my cmoy has been cased, i went the traditional route

i lined the sides with electrical tape and stuff, just to be safe

this was a fun first build
now i want to try some other stuff
like a DAC and maybe a PIMETA

Well, here's a couple of pics of the just completed SOHA:

I'm still waiting for a knob and will construct a tube protector, so will post pictures of the assembled casework later in the week.

And how does it sound, through HD650s stupidly good

Nice work! Is that a hammond case that it'll go into? Looks like a nice clean design and build!

Yep, it's the case that came with the kit.

For the price this an amazing sounding amp.

Here's my CMoy; Burr Brown OPA2107AP, Panasonic 470uF & 0.22uF Caps, Vishay Dale-M RN55 resistors, Alps RK097 Pot, Mouser jacks

What case are you using? And did you construct the tube protectors yourself?

Nice casework indeed!

Those protectors looks like door/drawer handles, am I right?

 

[heatmizer]

case is diy
drawer pull is correct

Hmm, was there a kit sold for it then? Where at? This interests me greatly!

Finally, I have pics of my Darth HagUSB online!

For inquiring minds, resistors are PRP and RN55 (both C and D). Caps, Black Gate Standards for the 1uf caps and NX Hi-Q (in Super-E configuration) for the signal caps, silver mica's around the oscillator, Oscon reservoir caps, Solen 1uf cap for digital out, and .01uf polystyrenes for the signal bypass. Not cased up yet, still trying to figure that out, since I have covered all but one of the standoff holes with caps in my insanity...

Aditya, that looks like a complete perversion of a cheap little USB DAC, I love it!

Great job, good luck finding a case

@heatmizer

that soha looks great. the green leds are pretty cool too
