You get a shiver in the dark, it's raining in the park, but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel alright when you hear that music ring
Well, now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of rain to hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places
Oh, but the horns, they're blowing that sound
Way on down south, way on down south London town
Check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm, he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
Left-handed old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright
He can play the honky tonk like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans, with the Sultans of Swing
And a crowd of young boys, they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies
And their platform soles
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call 'rock and roll'
And the Sultans, yeah, the Sultans play Creole
And then the man, he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings:
"Goodnight, now it's time to go home"
And he makes it fast with one more thing
"We are the Sultans, we are the Sultans of Swing"
Headphone amp, biased into class A, with a 12AU7 tube as a gain stage, MOSFET IRF630 as a output stage. Capable of feeding the takstar HI2050 (60ohm) with 200mW of power.

Serious headphone listening requires a headphone amp because just like speakers (but on a much smaller scale), headphones require power to move air and create sound. A good headphone amp isn't about making your music louder (though it does that too), rather, it is about providing enough juice to drive your headphones well.
Hybrid tube amplifier consisting on a 12AU7 driver vacuum tube, and MOSFET IRF630 for the solid state part.

Depois que meu segundo Xbox queimou, percebi que estava na hora de achar outro hobby. Vendi o console quebrado e alguns jogos para comprar esse sistema de som.
O amplificador de fone de ouvido é um Little Dot I+, que é um híbrido transistor-válvula feito por uns caras bons da China. O fone de ouvido é um AKG K701.
As válvulas ainda precisam ser amaciadas (100-200 horas de uso), mas ouvir Back in Black nessas belezinhas é uma experiência única, assim como a Nona de Beethoven ou a Oitava tocada pela Osesp.

After my second Xbox broke down, I realized it was time to get a new hobby. So I sold the broken console and some of my games and got this sound system.
The headphone amplifier is a Little Dot I+, which is a hybrid transistor-vacuum tube amplifier done by some great guys in China. The headphone is an AKG K701.
The tubes still need some burn in time (100-200 hours), but listening to AC/DC's Back in Black on this is indeed an unique experience; other memorable experiences so far were Beethoven's 9th and his Eight played by Osesp.

this is my first step; stuffing the resistors and low profile parts.
this, alone, took at least 2 or 3 hours, which includes locating the parts (!), soldering both sides of the board, fluxing and inspecting the work frequently.
as usual, I'm short a few parts so the build won't be finished for at least a few more days ;)
note, those vishay tiny purple resistors are about 29 cents each in small quantities. I should have bought stock in vishay ;)
