Team 2.02's project is a JFET headphone amplifier and test jig that performs full audio characterization and comparison to an off-the-shelf vacuum tube amplifier. Both amplifiers will take an audio input signal, allow the gain to be adjusted by the user, and adjust the amplification of the output signal based on the user's input. This is important because we will be characterizing and comparing the two popular types of headphone amplifiers, an old school vacuum tube amplifier vs. a JFET solid state transistor-based amplifier.
