I've not had time to get back into the DIY world like I used to. This is my "getting out of DIY" offering as I'm moving and need to downsize. I'm offering up a nice random assortment of parts to anyone who could use them in the DFW area(local only). Preferably to a new DIY'er.   -Full "millet...

Given the drama in the other thread I thought it appropriate to start a new thread regarding this amp.     I built up two of these this past weekend.     I must say I'm quite impressed with the overall performance, especially considering the price. I've built several high end amps...

Anyone else unhappy with these? Compared to my ER4-S, amped with a good source, its like someone chopped off all the upper range clarity on these..they are incredibly warm and full bodied, but it just sounds, well, rather not good to my ears!(thats with all the different tips, deep in ears, more...

wrong forum sorry

I wake up this morning to this: ..I'm a little devastated. I'm home at my parents place, and my 15 year old dog never does things like this. We had bad storms last night, so I think she got worried and needed something to chew on. These were on my chair... Do you think ETY can...

I don't have a laptop at the moment, but plan on picking up an EEE pc in the near future- the moddibility of these things is quite impressive. I'm looking to do an internal mod, and wanted to theoretically discuss a couple of options: 1. Internal USB dac *wonders if slightly modified alien...

Hey Guys, So, I just built a pair of jisbos buffers to drop into a soha. One of them seems to work fine, biases correctly and dc offset set at 0. Unfortuantely, the other channel is pumping out 6.23 V DC, yet it biases fine. thoughts? EDIT: the board looks fine to me, as in no blatant...

I'd love to write a more detailed review, but to be honest, with school, I just do not have the time. So here is a quick glimpse at my impressions of my DIY Firstwatt F2 clone vs a 3-channel B22 that I built Test setup: Source: Xfi-elite pro modded Pre: B22- ladder stepped attenuator from...

Hey guys, So I purchased the Revvol1C from dantimax (http://electronics.dantimax.dk/). Soldered it up, and threw it in the B22. The problem i'm having is white noise, a constant hiss(not hum) when it is hooked up. This hiss changes marginally with each attenuation step. I emailed mikhail...

We had a little get together here at the university(last night at midnight) between three friends. Gear Included: Parasound D/AC 1600HD Krell Dac(don’t know which model, venito will have to fill me in) B22(built by me) Firstwatt F2(built by me) Modded SCD595 Onkyo c390 Headphones...

I just finished my relay- based attenuator for the B22, but it runs off of 5V DC.. I"ve built a little regulated +5V supply. Can I use the +5V from this and the ground from the B22 supply? I ask because i'm using speakon 4-pole connectors to connect the PS to the amp(separate enclosures), and...

So, my client was listening to a B22 that I built for him, and he remarked that the soundstage was very narrow on a particular binaural recording. I listened and agreed with him(I've heard it and the soundstage is wider on my pimeta). I just built it and its only been running for 3 hrs or so...

so, I got some cheap crappy 2.1 system for free from a friend- when I hook it up to my modded X-FI card, it buzzes(sounds like the same freq as my fan in the system). When I hook up my ipod...no buzz when i hook my soundcard up to my pimeta and k501- no buzz. I'm assuming there is no...

$20-40 range? Am I reading the prices wrong? GX 3481GX348€.23,9 that is like 24 euros right? Also, anyone have a clue how much it they charge for milling out a front panel. I'll probably put in an inquiry, but before I go through the trouble of getting the details all worked out a...

Hey guys, So, I've got 2 projects cooking right now(first watt f2 and B22) Both of em are up and running, but I've got an issue with casing them. For example, I have 3/8" thick aluminum plate for the front of my first watt, and I'm afraid drilling holes with my hand drill is a good way to...

Looks to be in really good condition: http://cgi.ebay.com/AKG-K1000-audiop...QQcmdZViewItem Should be fun to watch how high the price goes...

just wanted to confirm that i'm wiring this up correctly so I don't blow anything up! I have an avel lindberg 80va toroid, colors as shown: the s22 has inputs that look like : ~ G G ~ should i wire blue/violet together for the hot line, and gray/brown for the ground, and then for...

I've finally gotten around to ordering some aluminum to case up my firstwatt F2 clone. The heatsinks I used have a 3/8" aluminum plate from with the fins extrude. Each sink is 12" long, so I figured I'd build the case around the heatsinks. First, I ordered a 1/4" thick 16" x 5.375" plate...

So, being bored, and not wanting to study for finals, I've been digging up old stuff on my HD that I didn't even realize was still here. http://www.duke.edu/~maw16/zeldamedley.mp3 Thats an arrangement of several popular zelda tunes that I arranged/ recorded with my high school band like...

finally got all the parts for the firstwatt, now i'm looking at the heatsinks Purchased some rather thick aluminum angle online, and got some heatsinks off of an ebay seller PIC: I was thinking about applying a thin layer of the JB weld to the angle, then mounting it on the...

Just thought i'd post my flute recital here, for all to listen. This was back in Feb., but I just now finally got around to the editing process Program was as follows: La merle Noir, Messiaen Prelude et Scherzo, Busser Flute Sonata in D, Prokofiev http://www.duke.edu/~maw16/...

Just wanted to copy hugz (jk) and start a thread for my f2 clone... (big thanks to hugz for the layout and answering my questions) Most of the parts are here, just waiting on the heatsink, transformer, and some aluminum angle to do the heatsinking. So far, I've completed the...

I wonder what it could be? Nooo.... Couldn't be.... YAY!! Unfortunately, the only thing I have to listen to them with right now is a soha, and I don't even have the right connectors, so I...

If I do get the k1000's , teh firstwatt f1 is probably the best DIY amp I can do for em right? I know cost will be around $800-900, and the circuit doesn't look overly complicated, but if someone has experience building this and would like to comment on the feasibility of myself doing...

so, when looking at a normal PC jack, the left prong is the "hot line" aka +, and the right is the negative, neutral line right? Or do I have it backwards Wiring up my soha right now... don't wanna fry anything
