3 weeks from today I will be riding 100 miles to raise money for a non-profit that offers assistance to disabled individuals by offering therapeutic recreation activities like cycling, golf, water skiing, you name it to people who otherwise might assume that they have no chance of doing any of...

RAFFLE CLOSED A little over 10 years ago I got involved with a non-profit organization called Northeast Passage (www.nepassage.org) through a college friend of mine who had gone to work for them.  NEP is a non-profit that works with people with various types of physical disabilities.  They work...

Hey there DIY forum, I know that I'm not on here much any more (most of you probably don't even know me...) but I've listed a bunch of DIY cables for sale and figured I'd post a link here.  The point of the sales is to raise money for an event that I'm participating in in September.  So if...

EDIT - RAFFLE NOW CLOSED     This is Zachary's amp.     And this is Zachary (with his dad, Kristopher).   Zachary was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) on March 23, 2007. This is a relatively rare form of cancer, affecting around 4000 Americans each year...

So my wife was going through some old documents and found that she had 75 pounds sterling from an old trip to Ireland. We figured, great, $125 we'd forgotten about and took it to the bank to exchange it. The bank told us that this currency is worthless, which I think is a crock. It's probably...

I'm going to create a thread for this amp since it is my intention at the end of the build to publish the schematic and any relevant details so that anyone who's crazy enough can build this amp. As of right now the amp is in working condition and headed to Florida for the party that will be...

Happy Birthday to Millittus Maximus. Seriously, Colin, have a great day man.

Ok, for one of my current projects I would really like to locate some nice female cable mounted rca jacks. Unfortunately there seems to be a distinct lack. The first viable option that I found were the Nuetrik NYS372P-BG's but they aren't available anywhere in the US and even Neutrik won't have...

Well, I just got home cooked some dinner and figured I'd start this thread since no one else has. I'll update this post later with pics and impressions but I had a great time as usual, met more great people and got to listen to some really great gear.

I just came across this while trying to help someone find an OPA627. Quote: Originally Posted by Texas Instruments OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device. That's taken direct from the datasheet and was certainly news to me. It looks like it just happened...

Just a quick note for anyone either building or considering building amb's beta22. I am currently offering a group buy for the e22 backplane pcb which can be used when building this amp to help simplify and clean up the internal amp wiring. The board offered by this group buy was designed by...

Happy birthday Jeffery! Hope the amp is still treating you well.

Last year I picked up the parts to do a Gainclone and I'm finally getting around to starting it. As a parts gathering process a very cool Head-Fier passed on to me some leftovers that he had from building a few of them. Included in that package were some of these (sorry for the large pic, want...

Because any one cool enough to have Strong Bad as their avatar deserves a birthday thread.

Happy Birthday Mark! Yeah, yeah, I'm a couple hours early (at least, depending on your reference to GMT) but knowing Mark he'll be at work early tomorrow and I wanted him to start the day right. So happy birthday man, may every note sound sweet and every tube glow bright. But not too bright.

Was talking with my brother tonight and he mentioned that he heard that Bose introduced a new In-Ear-Headphone today. Here's a link to the official Bose website. Here's the summary: Introducing Bose® in-ear headphones. Finally, you can enjoy acclaimed Bose audio performance with in-ear...

Well, for once the burnt resistor is not my doing but I'm faced with it nonetheless. The resistor in question is in a power supply that was damaged that I am trying to repair. What is unfortunate is that its value was written on the PCB but of course got destroyed by the heat and also the...

Ok, so I'm clearly a glutton for punishment. I'm building another PPA V2 and I've encountered something that I've never seen or read about before with this amp, medium level DC offset in the ground channel only. Here are the specs: Fully populated V2 PCB with OPA627APs on each channel, gain...

I had a thought recently (shocking, I know) about how it might be helpful around here to have a limited edit window on posts. The reason: I've come across several threads recently where one or more people have gone back through and stripped out their comments and quite frankly I think that this...

So here's the story, I have a friend in Germany who asked if I could build a PPA for him. I said sure, thinking that there would be some easy way to come up with a power supply for it. I was imagining that there had to be some Euro equivalent of the Elpac and that I'd be able to find enough...

So, a little background on my search. A while ago I picked up a Sony DVP S7700 for a very reasonable price with the hope of using it as a source. Shortly after it arrived it developed major transport issues (ah, the joy of used gear). Around the same time I picked up a NIB Toshiba 3950 with the...

After the creation of a drop in diamond buffer PCB for the DIY Milletts a while ago I've had thoughts of trying to drop this assembly into different types of amps. Obviously my PPA V2 and Millett are already taken care of but what about some other amp? So after finishing a recent build I decided...
