    Bijou All Tube Futterman Headphone Amplifier

    I'd wager you're using a USB source aren't you? It is typical for actions like typing or scrolling to cause audio noise when using a USB DAC. As others have mentioned, grounding the input and grounding the NFB pot are good places to start. p.s. Take it easy on the spacing. It makes your post...

    Quote: New sleeves and lube are a good suggestion. I went thru the same deal last year when I was fixing up my city rider. Here is some other stuff I tried that helped....   Check how tight your brake bolt is. The brakes will be stiff if the bolt is too tight; newer brakes don't seem to...

    Nice to see that you keep your city rider so clean. I scrubbed mine down before last season and it's already covered in rust from the winter street salt and rainy spring season. Nice bike tho.

    Quote: The first one looks like it says "cyrene". Never heard of it, but the engraving screams expensive steel/titanium. I'd be curious to hear about it as well.

    If any of you recall, I was complaining a while ago that there weren't any local bars that sold decent beer at a decent price. I finally found one, 2$ premium domestic/import pints during happy hour. I had a bell's two fisted, which was supremely clean tasting. It tasted similar to the...
