This version sports a 2nd audio amplifier stage at Q3. The output level with this version is sufficient to drive a crystal headphone to a comfortable volume. The `crystal` headphone is like those used on ye olde crystal radios. A `Walkman` type headphone is NOT the same thing! Check out Mouser #25CR060. Or use as input to your amplifier.
