    Alien DAC output levels

    I've had my alien DAC for a while, but now my ears are hungry. Then I remembered, the output levels for my DAC are really low: I have to turn up the volume to like 80% in windows whereas for any soundcard I've used a similar output can be had at ~15%.   Is this normal? It sounds alright, but...

    MS-1 pads?

    I have the comfies, bowls and flats for my MS-1. I used the bowls for the longest time, and then realized I didn't like how it unnaturally colored the sound, so I switched to flats. I tried comfies for the first time in a long time, and i had never really considered them seriously since there...

    If there were a contest for the most rediculous headphone made. Would this be the winner?

    lol the plug reminds me of pailiccs I think the beats are the most ridiculous headphone made.

    JVC "flats" HA S150 BN headphones, another low end price review.

    All this positive response to the "Flats" just might make me go pick up a pair now. The pink pair looks so attractive in person, and it would match my pink sansa fuze so well. Although I was hoping to find a pair of the new FX-50's. Starting with the Marshmallows, then the RX-700/900's...

    Your strange thrift store finds...

    Not from a thrift store, but strange used vinyl nonetheless. I almost bought it. Censored because I'm guessing this is supposed to be worksafe.

    Commercial Songs that you Actually like

    I'm a little embarrassed about Beyonce's Irreplaceable, and the spanish version too. Also Demi Lovato's Don't Forget, the entire album.

    LM317 adjustable regulator question

    I... soldered before your post. Well, I just desoldered and soldered again your values, gonna test in a bit. It's one of those multi-turn pots so I'm not expecting it to be overly sensitive to adjustment.

    LM317 adjustable regulator question

    I just realized I DID buy a 10K pot XD. So forgetful. I'll do the right thing and put a 240 ohm in between adj and out, hook up the 10K pot with its wiper shorted to one end and another maybe 1k or so in series, the two together making up R2. So the 1.25 in the equation is the difference...
