OTL Headphone Amplifier


ECC822 Tube OTL headphone amplifier circuit diagram Amplifier_Circuit Circuit Diagram

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.

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.

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.


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.


ClassA 12AU7 Tube Headphone Amplifier

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.

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.

In the end, I selected the Texas Instruments TPA6120A2 precision stereo headphone amplifier chip and a pair of Analog Devices AD8610 op-amps as the major active elements of the precision headphone amplifier. The schematic of the amplifier shows the straightforward, symmetrical design with two AD8610s each driving half of the TPA6120A2.

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.

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.

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.

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.

2023-05-19 4:21 pm. #1. Hello, I am releasing a DIY tube amplifier project, the first complete DIY project I've released on this forum. The amplifier is called Aegis. I started my DIY journey on the headphone forum Head-Fi. I have something of a tube DIY blog there where I catalog all of my ongoing projects.

Originally announced in 2010, the Crack is an affordable tube-based headphone amplifier kit offered by the Bottlehead Corporation located in Poulsbo, Washington State, USA. The company was created by the 'President for Life' Dan 'Doc B' Schmalle in the mid-1990s, and primarily offers DIY tube audio kits for both headphones and home stereos.
