wui,
Save it for our TT session? wink.gif
I just reassembled my CD transport today. The intentions is to build a proper casing for it.. now that I have a longer weekend. Been putting it off for awhile. Just acquired another CDROM controller and some tubes. A buffer for the CDP is on the way.. tongue.gif

Perform any suspension work for the CDROM or not?? brows.gif

i see on internet, Audinst HUD mx1 required 12-15v adapter, just buy any adapter with 12VDC 1A at JP, it will work ok, inside Audinst HUD mx1 already have Linear voltage regulator IC KIA278R12PI, it work same as 78xx as use in "The σ25 Regulated Power Supply", but technically KIA278R perform better than 7812. for better regulated voltage i think better find 15VDC 1A adapter
*
Those with 'R' are LDO voltage regulator,as the input supply is around 12-15v like you said.Technically,it's just normal LDO with on/off function.

yes.. the output stage is class A operation... LM317 works as constant current sinking...

my previous project also use this output topology, but use transistor instead of op amp.. fed back to emitter
i think.. got mistake on this diagram.. check the R1.. "Adj" should be connected directly to "Out"  and then tied together to R1.. R1 to gnd
*
This is misleading,recheck again.

Hi,

This is my current project. I intend to use it as a headphone amp.

Has anyone used this topology before?  I was wondering if there is anything that I should look out for.

Also, was wondering if this counts as class A.

Thanks
*
Class A or not,depends on your amount of current sink and output load...

Anyway,output voltage of this kind of circuit

1)not  going to swing fully symmetrical,as the MOSFET  required a VGS of a few volts,
2)and due to VGS issue,DC output offset is present,
3)unless you got a high driving capability front end,use only low input gate capacitance MOSFET,such as the popular IRF610,the part number shown in the schematic is not recommended.

Hi,

I hope you guys don't mind me tumpang this thread but there doesn't seem to be a general electronics DIY thread on LYN

I am looking for this transistor to repair my PC motherboard.
Its an Alpha & Omega Semiconductor T0-252 D438
[attachmentid=2265555]

I've already asked several shops in Jln Pasar but it wasn't available.

Should be a N-channel MOSFET,parameter unknown as the official site don't even have part number.What brand of motherboard??

Regarding the AD797,suggest you order from Element14 (formerly known as Farnell).

About the 2xSOIC8 to DIP8 adapter,you can try Ebay

Thanks, y haven't you guys added the stuff there in the first post. Lots of good reading there. I decided to pick up a Cmoy kit first (if i manage to find one), juz for practice my soldering n mess around with few op-amps, then maybe move on to bigger things smile.gif

edit: i'm thinking of getting this http://cgi.ebay.com.my/Banzai-V2-CMOY-Head...=item4aadfacd30 but i'm not sure about the op-amp. Rarely hear ppl talking bout it. Issit worth it to get this now n juz switch the op amp to let's say 2227 in the future?

Wanna ask sifu-sifu here. I'm new to the DIY world. My first project is to replace the capacitors in an amplifier. I wish to get some recommendations for the capacitors for the replacement. The amp I'm using is hybrid tube type. Got 4 220uf 400v (for Psu I think), a few 47uf 16v and a few 22uf caps. I guess blackgate are hard to come by. Is Elna silmic ii good? How bout the big fat Psu caps? What caps are recommended? Availibities wise? Many thanks in advance.

What is original brand/series of those caps??

I'm not sure and they are very old. I have heard Elna silmic are good. But they are hard to get? Also got advise for some panasonic FCs. I think I will go for the FCs. I would probably go for FC. But now the problem is with the Power supply caps, which needs 100uF 400v which are not available for FC series. Are they going to affect the quality alot if I use the ED/EE type from panasonic or any other recommendations? Anyone here can source the Elna caps if they are available?

Hello guys.. I'm new to DIY amplifiers and i saw this circuit (http://williamneo.blogspot.com/2008/03/most-simply-diy-instruction-on-cmoy.html) which looks fun and simple to make.. I don't know a thing about op-amp  rclxub.gif ... I see this circuit uses the OPA2227 but can i replace it with MC1458, LM358 or TL072 which is easier for me to get ?  biggrin.gif I know i can get the 2227 at element14 rolleyes.gif .
Just answer the one in bold  rclxms.gif

Thanks in advance..

U dont use MC1458 and LM358,those are normal general purpose OPAMP,not perform well for audio,and the TL072,ok for audio but not enough driving capability..

Ok.. thanks for the links...  rclxms.gif

Now i got 1 more question... What's the difference (performance) between this http://williamneo.blogspot.com/2008/01/diy...lifier-for.html and this http://williamneo.blogspot.com/2008/03/mos...on-on-cmoy.html if using the OPA2227...? Why does one use 1x9v while the other use 2x9v ?
*
Both with different virtual ground scheme,refer to this article for further reading:

Virtual Ground Circuits

Cmoy itself is a normal non-inverting OPAMP circuit,basic stuff u can find inside a text book

Ok, so i decided to go with this and change the virtual ground circuit to the TLE2426 based..  one more question, how is the ground connected to the pot?
is it like this? (open spoiler)

Had some problems with my Cmoy on a stripboard vmad.gif , so I decided to make another one using a breadboard and it worked.. Then, I soldered all the components on a new stripboard and still had problems  rclxub.gif . After touching the circuit, shaking up and down, moving here and there, and brushed the flux off with a little bit of water; it finally worked.  thumbup.gif I abandoned the TLE2426 as it was causing me problems too (bad soldering) and used the resistor divider instead (470uF). This Cmoy uses a TLE2072 op-amp, 0.15uF input caps, 2kΩ resistors (gain 6), 2x10kΩ Pot (each controlling one channel). My Cmoy can be powered either by battery or AC-DC adapter (controlled by switch). The AC-DC jack on the Cmoy is connected to the resistor divider through a Voltage Regulator which throws 12V as the output while the battery jack is connected straight to the resistor divider. Enjoy the photos...  rclxm9.gif

I only have a slight noise (only at high volume, which i don't really reach that high) when it is powered by the ac-dc adapter.. The battery power is silent  thumbup.gif

That means your AC/DC adapter is not regulated

Ooo.. So that's what cause the noise at high volume.. Does the voltage regulator that i built reduce the noise (all i know is it makes sure it outputs 12V)?


Added on November 15, 2011, 11:45 pmEh bro, i just noticed something. When using AC/DC Adapter, and my source is my laptop, the noise is there when set to above listening volume. But when my source is my phone, i only hear the noise when volume is all the way up (max) on the amp. When my source is my ipod or no source, max volume also no noise  icon_rolleyes.gif .. I'm guessing my power is not causing the noise now, but it's my source..
*
Since u already build a regulator inside,then don't think it's AC/DC adapter's problem...

Try to re route all those grounding wires to the input ground
