I got this book at Radio Shack that has an amplifier project in it .It uses a 741 and a 386 op-amp. When I finished it I noticed it wasn't very sensitive compared to a transistor amp I built before .I'm not sure why the transistor amp was so sensitive( by sensitive I mean it picked up softer sounds etc.).
You have to almost yell in the op-amp version to get any output.Did I do something wrong , is this normal or would using different components (capacitors etc.) make a difference.
Also could someone give schematics for amps of both types.
I'll look around the site for some too.
Thanks
