I will try to attend, but cant promise anything with my schedule as an engineering student . I had alot of fun at the meet at the hotel in charlotte last year so I figure this could be good.   If everything works out ill bring my: Akg K601 Denon D2K, Moon audio black dragon cable, Lawton...

Last night, I ended up picking some Mirage OM6 speakers up off craigslist for a great price for a floorstanding 2.0 setup. These will be going in my apartment in about a month once I move in. The living room floor is carpeted. It might be worth considering that the speakers are fairly unique...

There's a pair of these up on my craigslist for 450, I googled around some and I couldn't find much except a stereophile review, it seems these were 3000/pair from 1997-2006 when they were made, and I figured they were atleast looking in to since I've been starting to look into a 2 channel set.

I would definitely say some heavily modified denons are worth throwing in the mix here, stock the d2k/5k(same drivers) are good headphones, but are very V shaped. If you do the full dampening mods, wood cups and stuff pads they improve drastically.

Quote: It is the A3, the metal housing of the switches is right against the front panel. I'll check resistances over the weekend, my weeks have become consumed by school work.  

I haven't had time to change around any wiring yet(being an engineering student kinda sucks sometimes...), but I did have time to sketch up how the volume control is wired in. Circles are RCA jacks.

I didn't tin any of the leads, except the signal output wires. I did remember to clean them though(It was only 2 wires).   The jacks should be insulted, they are the neutrik D series jacks: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=092-232   The shields are just floating, I...

I messed with the wiring some with some interesting results. Before I messed with the wiring, I hooked the amps output up to a mixer I have just for fun. The hum was lighting up the -24 dB light on the mixer on the right channel, also when I turned the amp on and off, the left channel would...

I'd say more of a hum for sure. I have the star ground setup with all the wires connected to a terminal block. I tried both wiring options from the cavalli website, and still got hum.

Sort of a strange update, I actually reflowed a bunch of joints on the problem board before I left to go back to school. After I measured those voltages last night, I figured I might as well check the DC offset. Well, to my surprise it had actually dropped to 0 mV, as same as the good board was...

Sorry for the delay, school arose as a delay again.   Q11B(Ground was placed on pad 2) pad 2 to pad 3 = 18.0 V pad 2 to pad 1 = 20.6 V   Q10B(Ground was placed on pad 2) pad 2 to pad 3 = -16.5 V pad 2 to pad 1 = -19.7 V   Those measurements are from the problem board, I can...

I can't seem to get a decent picture of the underside...but heres my attempt: The flash would either reflect too much off of the pcb, or it would end up too dark with no flash, so my apologies in advance about the picture quality.   The MOSFETs are correct, as well as the...

V- and V+ appear to be correct, here is a close up of the problem board(the one closest to the AC inlet in the big picture):   Also, I'll work on changing that ground wiring around, thanks for the tip!

Alright, found a better camera.   Voltage on the problem board for the LED, from LED- to G measures about -200 mV, and LED+ to ground measures about 250 mV.   Voltage coming off PSU is +27 and -27

Sorry for the poor quality...phone camera.
