I haven't kept track of everything here. But, do we have a power amp and speakers?
One day I dream of finishing an amp based on this prototype:

DUG has it covered with big speakers and compact amp! Couple of DACs courtesy of Jaimo. I'll bring a PC with CMP2 on it. If it fails to drive the DAC we can fail back to ipods. Essentials covered.
I have a R-Pi controller, SD card and power supply but haven't done anything with it as yet. Too little time - too many projects...
I recall someone wanting to trade a few chokes during the last meeting - does anyone have any chokes or power Transformers to trade or sell?
This is probably the most direct way to assemble an amp - connect all the components with crocodile clips 😛. Hey, I also saw a speaker with its cabinet made from a carton box 😱. Wonder how does the speaker sounds.
I have to agree with Jaimo, the sound is decent enough. Is this your current project, iko?

2.30 - 5pm
That's about right. We'll aim to wrap up around 5pm and likely clear the building by 5.15. We all have families and dinner to get to. 2 1/2 hrs sounds like a lot, but it will fly by.
Generally some great information exchange, good fellowship and some fine project show and tell.
I look forward to reconnecting with all at 2.30pm
See you then

It was great seeing everyone! It was a wonderful Sunday afternoon - listen to some nice music, chatting with fellow diyers about our hobbies, on-going projects etc.
This time around, IKO's preamp made some spectacular loud noise and flashes 😱 Fortunately, no big damages even after a few "bang"! We have to wait till next meet up for a chance to hear the preamp 😀!
Both jaimo's(ODAC and amp) and Merlin's (wire amp) headphones amps are great! Now I am tempted to get a can and one of those amp.
Thank you again to Walter to host the meet, and DUG to bring the speakers and amps, and everyone that showed up.
Until next time! Have a good summer everyone!

Yeah, my current long-term project. My shortest-term project is to fix the 26 preamp which died spectacularly in front of all of you, on account of my not paying attention and plugging B+ into filament voltage and vice versa. 🙁 Also working on a pair of Cornu spiral speakers.
Thanks Walter, and everybody else, it was an enjoyable meeting. Sorry about the "accident" with my preamp. Next time it'll sing! (Soon to become famous words.)
Great, love to see the cornu spiral speakers @ the next meet.
I'll have something original to bring for the next meet.

Oh, I should have taken a few notes while I was there.
Just wondering what sort of tip and magnification lens he (sorry forgot his name) was using to solder smt parts.
Thanks.
