What is the lowest single supply voltage that the LT will work (and sound good) ? I was also thinking about the BUF634T (the to-220 pack), unless you have already tried it and dont think favourably of it.
It seems like the buffer implementation is so simple I am almost tempted to just build all three (LT1010, BUF634T, LT1210) and see what I like. There's only one problem. Although I have a lot of electronics/audio/radio (ham) diy projects under the belt I am still very unfamiliar with the deepest intricacies of the OPAMP. My first opamp project was a LM1875 mono amp which I am almost about to finish. I am still climbing the learning curve - though without much difficulty and fast. So I wouldn't know what would be the best configuration or supply voltage for those buffers. Thats where I need your help.
If you guys are interested, throw in or discuss some ideas and we can come up with some suggested configurations for these three bad boys and we each can see what turns out.
I am just simply attracted to the idea of a "buffer-only" headphone amp because I believe thats all that is needed. Ofcourse with a gain control at the front end or maybe just a fixed resistor switchable attenueator.
BTW, all this for a Grado SR-80.
