The right way to Construct the CMoy Pocket Amplifier
Chu Moy designed a very talked-about headphone amplifier that’s simple
to construct, and it may be constructed sufficiently small to slot in a pocket, energy
provide and all. It’s highly effective sufficient to drive very inefficient
headphones to thunderous volumes from even weak sources, and it sounds
wonderful contemplating you can construct a bare-bones CMoy amp
for just US$20, and a fairly good amp for
below $50. Contemplating that the most affordable of the worthy business amps
is $100 and most of them are within the $200+ vary, this can be a very
worthwhile value distinction.
For these causes, I believe that the CMoy pocket amplifier is an
very best venture to get began in audio DIY. This text is written for
the newbie DIYer, although when you simply desire a information to constructing this
specific amp, you possibly can skip to the parts
or assembly sections.
If you’re a uncooked beginner and don’t but have any instruments, see
the companion article, Getting Started in Audio DIY.
