Before we start DIY we must plan our voltages and components. Hence the question, 9V or 18V.

Very true!

You have no idea what I've been through before I started building my CMOY. Without even asking one single question I actually spent half a year reading up basic electronics, googling consistently reviewing and analyzing the tangentsoft article diyamp V1 thread by a magnitude of at least 50 times.(bad move to change this thread into V2, Admin:scotty =.=)

The only questions worth asking are troubleshooting questions. We do have a concrete reason for suggesting the CMOY because it's a foundation of what you're going to do in the future when moving up the ladder.

Whether or not the SQ is worth it or not is out of the question. Sometimes if people move up too fast (By choosing SQ instead of ease of build) they lose the confident and motivation to move on because of the difficulty to continue.

EDIT:

I think the only thing you have to start worrying if you're interested is the components and parts. If you're interested I can share you a few tricks on how to get scarce items if you're away from the convenience of JP (like me)

whats the tiub no and where you get it?

Nowadays, the DIY is a bit quiet. Well, not me.

I have the simplest IV transinpedance circuit done and it is fast, dynamics, energetic, clean and clear.

PM me if u intend to know more on IV.

kubing...is it soha amp?

get from my friend. EH6922 made in rusia.

OK, i guess CMOY will be my first step for DIY Amp.

Thanks for the explanation bro and i might ask u where to find certain item if cannot get from Pasar Road

All the best chicaman! You know where to drop in if you need any help, right?

Yeah definately and thanks in advance first.

Target to start after my finals in 4 more weeks

hehhe all the sifu has spoken

are you a student?

If then register for a Farnell account at http://my.farnell.com and call them for a student account. IIRC 15% discount. Damn worth it if you know what to look for.

There you can get plentiful of items for cmoys and even more pimp projects.

If you live too far away from JP I don't mind packing a kit for you as I have leftover parts for the cmoy.

Wow, i didn't know farnell offer student discount. Thanks for the heads up!

JP? Japan?

jalan pasar..its heaven for electrical/electronics parts..

Hi. I am doing research and interested to do some litttle DIY for the fun of it. I need some help here. What tools should i get to get started?

Need to know what you're making/building in the first place...
