Default XTAL Radio Receiver Circuits

Looking for Crystal Radio Receiver Circuits, that have a voltage
quadrupler to increase headphone volume without batteries or AC power.


It is better to play with the design to achieve the desired matching between
the tuner, detector and headphones. Diodes have losses, and fancy
circuits like your suggesting will only multiply the losses, not the
voltage.
