Hello there. I am thinking of making a
CMOY headphone amp and am very new to electronics. I need to buy a soldering iron and was wondering if anyone could help me pick one out.
I always prefer to buy through Amazon when I can as I get free shipping and have always found them reliable. The kit that seems to make the most sense for me is this
. It gets mixed reviews and a couple people seem to find that it either doesn't get hot enough or that it takes a few minutes to get hot. Waiting a few minutes to solder something is never going to be an issue for me, so I don't see a problem... However, I would love for some insight from someone with the know-how and/or a suggestion for a better one (preferably through Amazon, but that doesn't matter too much). Oh, and as this is a hobby I may or may not get too involved in, I don't want to be paying a bunch more than the price of this one.
Thanks everyone!
