For those that have been around for a while may remember this guy, zkool448. I enjoyed following his builds and of course his enclosures. He was pushing out one every month or two, and I have not seen him around here in a while.   I hope he has not stopped making masterpieces and just...

First of all you can tell that I am not a photographer. I was able to log some time on a RPM (Rapid Prototype Machine), more precisely a stereo lithography machine. One of the professors knew I am one that like to prototype things so he gave me the opportunity to make somethings. A little...

I am having a issue lately and it is getting out of control. I have a 3g iPhone (i do not know if the phone matters) and if the phone is within 10 feet or so to my amp it will cause some interference, sounds like crazy digital static. I have heard this when it is next to the alarm clock, but...

I am really addicted to this program. I am currently watching how they make airplane propellers. Simply amazing. Everything I have seen, can be made by hand but they seem to show the manufacturers that use alot of craftmanship. Much appreciated in todays mass production ways. There are some...

I got this universal player to try some mods. I am opening the discussion to see what the forum says I should do. I am new to the mod scene, so I do not know what the options are. I just want to see what the guru's say. Here are a couple of my thought's: ---Twisted Pear Opus/Sabre DAC...

I typically tip my waitress/waiters 15-22 percent, bartenders about 1 dollar a drink or so, but I was at a Mexican restaurant with my wife and there was a Mariachi band. They asked me if I wanted to have them play a song and I said sure. The problem was when they were finished I did not know how...

I have thought if buying a OPPO DV-980H. Since I have said it to a friend he said that they have been having quality control issues. So, any thoughts. Are they good players, are they bad? Pros and Cons?

I am ready for a new project. I have built a Millett Max, a Mini³ and some other Diy projects. After reading the tech highlights on some amps I really like the 3-channel β22. Its clean, well designed, and has some good reviews. Should I have concerns, should I look at another project first?

After being almost done with me custom chassis for my Millett Max I am having a cosmetic issue. I am wanting to see if there is a place to buy gold ends to replace the silver ones on this jack. This is a stretch but if it could match this it would be great. If there are any...
