Improved Hybrid HeadPhone Amplifier
Jeff Macaulay’s excellent single valve ECC82/12AU7 'Hybrid Headphone Amp' (HHA) published in spurred the author to implement some modifications culminating mainly in an additional input preamp. The resulting project was then slightly reworked In the Elektor Audio Labs and the result is shown here, along with a PCB design to Elektor standards.
