The NS-01 is a small DIY headphone amplifier. It is not the simplest possible project, since it was designed with size and performance in mind. The version presented here should be able to output 90 mA at 7 volts RMS, and work with even low-impedance headphones. To keep the physical size small, the board is designed using surface mount.

Two front panel 1/4″ headphone jacks. Headphone impedance switchable between 30-400 Ohms and 300-4000 Ohms. 2 x 300B Electro-Harmonix output tubes, 2 x 6SL7 Sovtek input tubes, 2 x 5AR4 Ruby rectifier tubes, 2 x OD3 regulator tubes. Frequency Response: 5 Hz to 50 KHz 1dB. Output Power (100 Ohm Headphones): 1W (10 V RMS)


Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier

This article covers the latter, a very nicely made PCB which features an octal (8-pin) tube OTL headphone amp circuit. Specifically, this is an Aikido input with a White Cathode Follower output, based on John Broskie's design. The circuit is designed to power most headphones, including those with a 32 ohm impedance.

The difference between .1% distortion and .01% distortion cannot be heard; a reduction of noise from -60 dB to -80 dB can. If you want to improve the sound of your tube equipment, lower the noise. Of course, low noise and low distortion are not mutually exclusive and it would definitely be better to have both.

Building the 6DJ8 (ECC88) Tube Headphone Amp This low power tube headphone amplifier is designed along the lines of the Oddwatt power amplifiers, except that this headamp does not require a driver stage. All the circuit gain is in the single output stage.

This article shows my tube headphone amplifier designs for driving headphones with an impedance of 200 to 600 ohms (I am using these amplifiers with the Sennheiser 580, which has a 300-ohm impedance). The problem with many tube headphone amplifiers is the high output impedance and the low output current that decrease the sonic performance.


Schematic of Hadphone Amplifier

The tube headphone amplifier schematic typically consists of various components, including transformers, capacitors, resistors, and tubes. These components work together to amplify the incoming audio signals and deliver them to the headphones. The schematics provide a detailed illustration of how these components are connected and the required.


OTL Headphone Amplifier

This is simple to build audiophile class-A tube headphone amplifier. It is based around 12AU7 / ECC82 audiophile vacuum tube that provides warm, rich and smooth sound expected from audiophile amplifiers.


Single Ended 6L6 tube headphone amp? diyAudio

October 18 2016, 05:00 I often enjoy listening to music with my headphones. My family also likes when I'm using headphones. I began searching for a vacuum tube headphone amp, because solid-state circuits were too boring. The glow of vacuum tubes gives a relaxing ambience to a room in the evening.


Nocturne MKIII Tube Headphone Amplifier Nekolab

The schematic for one channel of the headphone amplifier is shown in figure 1. Please see A Top-Level Headphone Amplifier for general information about the circuit. The improvements in this version come from the careful selection of parts, the use of tube diodes, and the elimination of the interstage MKP capacitor.


Diy Tube Headphone Amplifier Schematic Telegraph

As a thank you for the 300B amplifier schematics, Stamou has shared his implementation of the 300B single-ended tube amplifier schematic by J.C. Morrison.. The 6DJ8 tube headphone amplifier is suitable for use with many Hi-Fi headphones. Output power is over 100 mW between 32 ohms to 300 ohms. The response is 20 Hz to 28 kHz within 0.5 dB.

Schematic 1, (Click here to enlarge.) Ian has been very helpful to me with past tube projects, so I had a good look at that. Eventually, I came up with a schematic, shown small in Schematic 1. You can obtain the schematics for this story by emailing [email protected], with "Curt's schematics, please" in the subject line.


ClassA 12AU7 Tube Headphone Amplifier

The NP-100v12 is a simple headphone amplifier that allows an entry level builder to experience assembling and listening to their own creation. I use the term builder as electronic experience combined with innovation which allows the creation of a device, rather than simple board stuffing.

There are not many freely available tube headphone amp schematics using the 12ax7 with the exception of a few electrostatic amps where gain of 1 trilion is necessary. 12au7 and 6dj8 are both FAR more common in headphone amps and there are a bunch of schematics using those tubes over at headwize.


Diy Tube Headphone Amplifier Schematic Telegraph

The schematic is shown in Fig. 1. The topology is the same as the hybrid tube/MOSFET line amp. Q1 is a double triode that operates as a differential amplifier, with approximately 2mA in each of the triodes. A constant-current diode D1, which supplies the source current to the differential amp, includes two J508 or E-202 diodes in parallel.


The 6DJ8 Headphone Amp Cascade Tubes

Each amp channel draws 25mA and the total filament draw is 1.6A leaving some margin for an indicator light. Here is the schematic for my power supply. The amp circuit only needs between 130v and 150v B+, so there's a fair amount of dropping resistance to get the output voltage into an acceptable range.
