    Aqua HEAD Headphone amp review

    Hello vkx86/Martin Interesting review, can you post any inside pictures of the Aqua Amp.? or at least mayby some technical info about the circuit, Chips?, descrete transistors? thanks for your reply. Robo

    Sound Card Help-SB16 ISA & Win2K

    ArChaos, You are right, there is a solution. I had that problem (PIII) and after a lot of searching I found the driver in USERGUIDE.com. I'll try to relocate it for you (it's size is about 4mb).

    general amplification question

    Many Solid state Headphone amps (Headmaster, Gilmore's, SDS, META42, Ray-samuel's HR2...) are built like a small delicate version of a Speaker amplifier. The relevant differences are 3: gain - speaker amp 15-40. headphone amp 1-11. supply voltage - Speaker Amp of 20W/8ohm will have some...

    Ray Samuels Emmeline HR2-- Impressions & Review

    Ray, Quote: The Emmeline HR-2 Amp's input impedance is at 50K. assuming the NFB resistors are low in value, is the Emmeline HR-2 using output decoupling capacitor ? one last question, what is the gain of the amplifier? Thanks a lot for your patience. Ron

    Ray Samuels Emmeline HR2-- Impressions & Review

    Hi there, The AD979 has a significant input current. handlling this (keep noise and output voltage low) is usually done by having input resistance relatively small at 10k-22k. Now, the Ad device is well optimized to that resistance whreas the OP627 works better at higher impedances (in...

    Speed up IE (simple reg hack)

    Trying it with 56K dial-up, feels fast and sweet, no problem yet.(i hour) Great tip, do you have any more? Thanks

    Another mini-Gilmore

    very nice job indeed. 1. You can get improved tracking by connecting R2 & R3(10k) to the output of their LM3x regulators (instead of to be connected to the adjustment leg) 2. This topology is only half tracking (as well as the original gilmore's) in which the negative reg. reacts to any...

    Anyone with experience with Gilmore at 20V?

    Most amps would benefit from higher supply voltage. You have to change the 22.8 k to 30k in order to get +/- 20V. BUT, in addition to Voodoochile's remarks, the output quintet are quite hot and may not stand another stress, you have to reduce their current to keep power dissipation within...
