Does anybody have a suggestion for a good audio IC preamp to go ahead
of an LM 4808 headphone driver? I have been using the LM 386 for home
brewed receivers up to now, but I would like to go to the LM 4808
because it can run on 4.5 volts (three D cells), and it will drive my
Sony stereo phones better than the LM 386. But it is a low gain
device, so I need about 70 dB of audio gain from an audio preamp. One
or two IC stages, that doesn't matter. I know that the LM 3808 is a
surface mount chip, but I think I can solder it OK. Thanks. Bill
