    Portable field recorders

    I'm starting to get interested in them to work with my photography and video. I tried a few at the stores but was wondering if anybody else had experience with them? I tried the Sony PCM-50, Zoom H2 and H4 in the store. I found the H4 impossible to use. It wasn't intuitive at all. The H2...

    iPod Touch arrives

    Yippie! I think it's a pretty sexy little device. It'll be a hit with the ladies and potential clients. I'll only be using this for displaying photos and videos of my work. I think that about sums up what I think about it audio wise

    Any T-Mobile Sidekick id users?

    I'm thinking of getting one. Thoughts? I hear the battery life is better than the 3. I don't really need speed as I'll just be sending/receiving text.

    The Canon Thread

    I know there's a lot of people interested in photography here and there's already a Nikon thread so I figured it's about time us Canon users had a thread for ourselves. The latest thing that have been churning in my head is trying to choose a fast prime. One of the things I'm concerned about...

    recommend me a webhost

    My current host service has expired and I'm looking for a new one. I've been to many review websites already but more feedback is always appreciated. I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest but something reliable and is non bogged down because it's oversold. I'd need some mysql/php...

    got a mac mini

    Got it for $300 new at my Compusa. Good deal but I need to do work on it. 1) it's only got 256MB and that was never realistic for OSX. I'm going to put 1GB in there 2) harddrive is slow. 4200rpm. 3) no wireless. No problem as i can add my own USB device of choice with better antennae and...

    Firestone Audio Spitfire DAC impressions

    If you are coming from my review of the Fubar II DAC and are interested in Fubar II + Supplier PSU vs. Spitfire + stock PSU, since they are sort of around same price range, skip to that section below. INTRO The source is an important part of the system but for beginners it's unclear what...

    Firestone Audio Fubar II USB DAC impressions

    I've had this unit for maybe like 2 months now. I would've written something earlier but I got busy with work until new years. I'm still a little busy so I'll have to keep this short. INTRO The main attraction of this DAC is that it's cheap and it's made for audio enthusiasts like...

    Firestone Audio Cute amps pre/review

    Since I've got a lot of work coming up, feeling a little ill, I can only post in small increments. I have got a lot of stuff to research and checkout also since headphones are not my only gear interests. I'm now testing new camera lens, Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC so I figure I might as well take...

    my electronics prowess in full (or no) effect

    Although I would consider myself above average in dealing with electronics of various sorts, I have managed to discover something new.. Do not put regular soap in the dishwasher. There are bubbles everywhere! yay! I normally engage in manual had washing and clean up after myself so there's...

    what are symptoms of bad diode or filter capacitor?

    Hello, I could use a little troubleshooting help here. I hear loud hum in the headphones via headphone amp. The + regulator powering the opamp gets super hot while it's - brother isn't. Could a bad diode or filter cap in the supply cause this? Is there a ways to test these parts to see...

    It's time to upgrade the computer

    I've been constantly upgrading nearly every aspect of my system and I'm at the point where I felt the transport was really holding me back. I couldn't really modify anything anymore and I don't believe in extreme mods when simple ones accross the whole chain make more of a difference. I'm...

    The updated Stealth is landing

    It's on a FedEx truck as we speak now coming back from Rays. I spoke to Ray Samuels about some kind of modification/upgrade/update to the headamp section since I use it now with Sony MDR-SA5000. I have one of the earliest Stealths but it should be the same as the others. I didn't really want...

    uh... how did my transformer die on me?

    I was just trying out my sealed lead acid battery with recharge circuit and it seemed fine but then when I check back after listening to music I notice the recharge LED wasn't on anymore. Testing the secondaries of the transformer, it measure nothing. Did it die because I was recharging and...

    Suitable replacement for MKC caps

    Hi, I'd like to replace some WIMA MKC10 (polycarbonate I believe) caps in switching power supply and tube amp duties. What is a good replacement/upgrade for these? Should I stick with WIMA MKP10? How about Panasonic's metallized polyprops?

    I no longer recommend 1/4" TS adaptors for emu 1212m / 1820 / 1820m

    So I made two nearly identical cables today one with 1/4" TRS to RCA and another 1/4" TS to RCA. The one using 1/4" TRS sounded better. Somehow leaving the negative portion of the balanced signal unconnected made all the difference. You can't do this with those adaptors since the adaptors are TS...

    the power supply makes a difference

    So I just got a new power supply, Antec Phantom 350W (fanless) to test against my Fortron 350W (120mm fan). Obviously fanless has less noise but on another note, the sound quality was a bit better. The highs were a bit clearer. Now I'm not recommending the Antec but just saying these things...
