    Powered Monitors in the $750 - $1,000 Range

    dont knock speakers based on their published specs. for that price range id get KRK v8s2's or Genelec 8020's. im familiar with the krk signature so i'd personally get the v8s2's, the genelec's are well tough though. the key thing is tho, to go and listen to them. most GC's or music stores...

    where to buy mint amp, and pimeta build questions

    Sennheiser plugs for recabling

    why not post a wtb in the for sale forums? im sure someone who has an aftermarket cable would be willing to offload their stock one to you on the cheap.

    Where to buy the OPA2107?

    it may not be what you expect from a stock chip but it very might well be what you get from a stock chip. re: sampling, if every man and their dog hadnt ordered opa627's for their cmoy's or pimeta's then maybe this part would still be available for engineers to sample online. i believe that...

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    best bet would be to contact conmann yourself and ask about oem pricing on their products, most manufs dont have their oem data available to the general public

    Anyone seen this? Shunyata DIY <100$ Power Conditoner

    the problem with that is the configuration used (a couple of caps and a varistor) is hardly ground breaking or unique. its a fairly commonplace arrangement in many things and has been for many years. now they may claim that theyve r&d'd the setup to find the most "musical" (the most...

    Could you power speakers with a Cmoy?

    sure looks like most of the gainclone schematics ive seen. for car battery use, something like a sonic impact t amp would be a good choice
