So I had a great time planning the Mid-Indiana Meet this past March, and was thinking of organizing another this fall, once I'm back at school. Due to a busy first term, there's really only one weekend that I could host the event. Basically, how many people would be willing to have a Head-Fi...

Since I'm sitting here waiting for people to show up, here goes the Impressions thread!

Introduction & Background I was given the opportunity to test out the Grado GS1000 headphones by Head-Fi member Zanth. He is currently running the Headphone Loan Programme [LINK], which includes a several pairs of Grado headphones: SR-60, GS1000, and an RS-1/RS-2 combo pack. If you meet the...

Hello all, for those of you old-timers that were familiar with the revMH Millett Hybrid, I have a question; I'm repairing one that had some power supply issues (blown-up power supply), and I've recased the thing, and now am attempting to power with a 24VDC output Elpac power supply. I've rewired...

I just had a thought, maybe someone with some more technical knowledge than myself could chime in. I see people saying that battery backups aren't ideal for audio usage because they create a not-so-perfect sine wave AC output.. but I was thinking that since my amps are rectifying AC into DC...

Never Mind...

Is this Ebay sale on a BNIB K501 a good deal for right about now?

Check it out.. the beginnings of my casework for my power amp... The blue velvet has the new ε27 board from AMB.org. Should be pretty nice when I get everything else mounted!

I just had my Senior Violin Recital last sunday, and I've uploaded video to my iWeb website. If you guys want to check it out, I don't think I'm too bad! However, the videos do take a bit to load up... hopefully, it won't be too much of a problem. Random Ramblings at The Grindstone

do I use those connectors that go onto power input modules (Mouser PN: 538-19003-0001)? I had some awhile ago, but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to attach the wires to the connector. Do I need a crimper?

I'm looking for some spacers that are nonthreaded, and will take a 4-40 bolt through them. I've seen boxes of these, maybe 1/4" in length, and I figure it will be easier to buy a big box of 100-200 of them instead of buying individual spacers from Mouser. If anyone has a source, I'd appreciate...

I'm now officially College-Fi! I had graduation on Sunday, and I'm completely done with high school! Who else has walked the stage this year?

I ended up with double copies of the IsoMike 2007B test CD from CanJam '08. I'd like to give it away, so post only the text in the quotes: "Me Wants IsoMike Tunage" by Midnight of May 17, 2008.

So, 12 more school days, and I will remove my Team High School Head-Fi status from my sig and add on Team College-Fi... how about any others out there?

Okay, so this speaker amp I'm working on worked great the first time I wired it up... the problem is, the second time, I wired the negative power rail backwards. My 2200uf cap blew (not actually, just domed up), and I was wondering if anyone has a digikey part number P5198-ND in stock...

I'm working on a power amp that requires +-36V and also 15V. I've got the +-36 through an o22, but I was wondering if there was an easy way to take that +36v down to 15 without making a TREAD or something like that.

If you guys didn't know, Violet Hill, Coldplay's new single from their cd that comes out in June, is available for free download until next tuesday! I highly recommend it... it is rockin!

I posted this in the CanJam forum, but I'll see how the members lounge likes it! I whipped this up in photoshop, let me know what you think!

Hey guys, I just finished my first website through iWeb and .Mac. If you would like to check it out, the link is: http://web.mac.com/thegrindstone Let me know what you think about the design, and also I have some gear pics under the photography section!

I'm making a video that cuts and pastes words from different politicians to put together statements such as, "We will raise taxes for Americans". The content will be coming from news channels on television, and each quote will be 1 or 2 words long. The intent of the video is comedy, and I had...

I just noticed today my copy of Kingdom of Heaven OST says on the spine label, "Kindgdom of Heaven"! So weird! Does anyone else have any obvious typos on their stuff?

Wrong forum folks! Sorry about that!

Which is it? And you know there is only one right answer But seriously, you know what team you better pick...

Check out my review of the DAC-301 from AudioDIYLab.com here! I know I posted some pics awhile ago, but I did a little write-up. Let me know what you think!
