Pavel, just curious, did you make that DIY cable for the raffle last time? I wonder if anyone has any bulk cables and connectors? I'd like to make a few of my own cables for fun, and would be nice to buy local or group buy than shipping from the U.S for a measly part.

I am in!   Pavel thanks again for the DIY alien dac from last time.    Charliex: I am actually interested in that little dot you have. I hope peter is coming, last time he had a diy tube amp that was also very pleasant sounding.

Hey everyone,   First off I'm extremely thankful to Pavel(fallen angel?) for getting the space  and organizing. Thanks for building that DAC and so generously donating it to raffle off(which I won). Also I'm really thankful to Charliex for offering to buy it to help fund my future pair of...

i'd like to come and see. I don't have any gear but I am looking to buy some, so I'd love to sample some gear before making a purchase.

I'm in! I'm from Markham

oh... oh well, i'll use the digital with the onboard nvidia sound then..

My dad wants some surround sound so I bought him a logitech z 5500 so he can stick it onto his emu. I was wondering if I should use the analog outputs or go digital and let the dolby/dts decoder on the logitech to do its job for me. Any ideas?

I currently have a av710 for my headphone which sounds pretty good. But I just got a shure sm58 mic and I want to record some vocal stuff, which card would be a good card for recording? Hopefully less than $100

might someone point me to a replace hdd link? Just in case it breaks when i buy it.... and I want a big thing. By the way, how does third party warrenty work if I'm in canada? and Im buying one of those refurbs off ebay?

what about build quality issues? How long do you think the rio would last?

A got a EHEIM pump in my computer, how much noise will it cause?

How do I go about doing this? I didnt make the cmoy but I know how to solder a little. The cmoy is in a mint tin can, currently powered by two 9v batteries. I know I have to get a power supply, the question is which and how. Thanks a bunch.

im in!

here's a better analogy: what your doing is like buying a puny little honda civics and shoving a tank turbine inside it. sure the engine is nice and strong but all the other parts of the setup renders the engine useless. good headphones + good amp + good source + good cabling = good sound...
