Hi, I'm jacq from Miami and I recently joined to know more about DIYs. I intend to buy cmoy amp parts on Friday and build it as my first DIY project. If anyone can suggest me a good soldering iron and other things to buy, I'm all ears!
I'm really really eager to know how to recable and as well as build simple amps. Hopefully someday I can build my own O2/ODAC setup and recable my own headphones. 🙁

Welcome!
You will love it here... Lots of People with the same interests and they want to help you to get your project to completion. 🙂
As for a good iron, don't skimp. Buy the very best you can afford. A good iron will last the rest of your life. A temp controlled Hakko or Weller soldering station is a good place to look

Hi thanks guys 🙂 I'm going DIY shopping maybe tomorrow if I get my money... I'm excited^^. As for a good soldering iron, how much is considered "good"?
Hello Jacq - and Welcome to diyAudio!!!! 😀😀😀
Take a look at this link: Select a Soldering Iron
Also: there are many videos about how to solder on Youtube that you might want to take a look at to see what all is involved.
Here are a couple photos of my solder work bench - bear in mind that a lot of the pieces were purchased as I went along and could afford them.

Looking at Amazon, a bit less than 90 bucks. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Here are links to a Weller and a Hakko station -

Agh sorry for all the Q's is it advisable to just get a used one?
Lol wow I just realized how lost I am. How do I begin? Buy a soldering station kit and then get some solder? Where do I go from there 🙁? I'm not quite sure which place to begin on the forum...
I plan to learn on how to make a CMoy amp and then also learn how to recable. I also would like to replace the RCA cable on my turntable... 🙁
