I recently build a diystore Whammy. It's a very good kit, an amplified straight wire, and 25W class A. I like the way it looks and sounds.
But Spring cleaning had some dusty headphone amps... the Edifier which means to instruct about morality .. like a preacher. Next there is Fubar III MK II DAC/AMP. I guess firestone-audio choose that product name so they would not have to search for already in use.
The Edifier HA11 arrived on slow boat from Asia. It had a 5532, a couple of 78/79 regs, and 9vdc power pack. It would randomly break into high-frequency oscillation. Edifier still has audio products but not headamps.
The Fubar3 has relays (discolored from heat), transistors, a generic audio opamp, and a DAC board. It runs from a 24vdc wall wart. It still works but sounds unremarkable. It has an intense blue LED which I covered with glue. High intensity LEDs are a pet peeve of mine.

I imagine the population of diy forums skews toward the mature and experienced. But everybody is welcome.. it's about doing and sharing. 🙂
