However, when trying to integrate it into my amp’s case and pipe its output to my amplifier, sparks flew. I managed to melt a trace off of one [...]
It turns out that the volumeless amplifier idea didn’t last very long. Once the amplifier got hooked up to my MacBook Pro’s internal audio source, the granularity of the volume control was not nearly enough for day to day use. Also, thinking of headroom, it’s always best to have a digitally controlled output attenuated in [...]
A long time ago, I built my own amplifier. This was a fun project, and the results were pretty decent. I never did post the results of the project, so here’s a picture of the results. Obviously, I put a cover on there, and the end result looks fairly decent (a throwback to the 70s, [...]
