Hi Everyone,
Well well well, there it is, I've been drawn into the DIY. Even if I dont know a lot about electrical circuits, I will try to build headphones amps. I will first build a Cmoy to learn the basics, folowing the excellents instructions at tangentsoft.com and then I will try a CKKIII.
I have 2 questions for you guys :
- I read at amb.org that I will need an a "Amveco TE62033 15V+15V toroidal with wire leads" to build the CKKIII. I went today to a local store that was selling a transformer +15v -15v but it was not toroidal, it is like a square box. Do I really nead a toroidal transformer or do any 30v transformer will do?
(I'm trying to order parts from a single place and buy local if I can) What should I look for when buying a transformer?
- I've bought a ac/dc 24vDC adaptor today for the Cmoy I will build, as I want to get it working from the wall plug instead of batteries. Do I really nead a power supply like the THREAD available at tangent or can I feed the amp directly from this adaptor? Any suggestions others than the THREAD?
I hope thoses questions do not sounds too stupid, even if I read a lot ont the subject, all theses specs can be confusing...
Thanks for your help !
