How To Fix (Almost) Any Set of Audio Speakers Home Hacks Previous image Next image A multi-part series, today we are going to show you how to breathe new life into an old pair of speakers. It is a commonly held belief that the newer speakers and audio equipment get, the better they are. This is not always the case and sometimes, even when your speakers are damaged, there is sonic power left in them that modern equipment can’t match…From time to time we show you something antique that still competes with today’s technology. Ableton Live, Reason, Logic, Cubase, Pro How to Build the CMoy Pocket Amplifier Chu Moy designed a very popular headphone amplifier that’s easy to build, and it can be built small enough to fit in a pocket, power supply and all. It’s powerful enough to drive very inefficient headphones to thunderous volumes from even weak sources, and it sounds excellent considering that you can build a bare-bones CMoy amp for just US$20, and a pretty nice amp for under $50. Considering that the cheapest of the worthy commercial amps is $100 and most of them are in the $200+ range, this is a very worthwhile cost difference. For these reasons, I think that the CMoy pocket amplifier is an ideal project to get started in audio DIY.
