Got a question..What causes the static sound when I turn the volume knob. Is it dirty or do I need  new volume controller?

Are you talking about the passive pre amp out on the back? If so here is a link that might help http://www.stereoknight.com/silverstone%20passive%20preamp.html

My first meet and I can't tell you all what a treat it was..finally got to listen to the equipment that I read about here on Head-Fi. For me Ironbut's tape playing some Robert Cray songs was magical. And of course AMB's amps. Just wanted to say thanks to all the people who put this on........

I have Win 7 and the Juli@ works fine..The trick seems to be. Not to open the folders and just do an update from Device Mgr. Choose the main folder.. I think the new drivers are 1.05

I own a PPAv2..I might be wrong about the output but between .5 and 1.5w. PPA is just a HPone amp.Are you try to use it as a dual purpose amp?
