    Help me choose a Pot!

    Hey guys, I'm currently gathering the parts for a custom source selecter/passive preamp project I plan to work on during the summer. I recently got a hold of an older JVC Super-A M-7050 Power Amplifier made back in the early 80's. It has very small volume control knobs on the back of the unit...

    Switch box Rotary Switch help

    Hey guys. I've been wanting to make a switchbox for quite some time now, but I have a few questions regarding a rotary switch. I want a 3 input 1 output switchbox (which I can later add both more inputs and outputs if desired) and I don't think I can use a regular switch. After checking out...

I basically want to get everything running through my amp and since my amps only have 1 RCA in, I'd need a switchbox to handle multiple sources.

    Frets on Fire

    I was wondering if any of you Guitar Hero fans have tried Frets on Fire, which is basically GH for your computer. The keyboard mapping is meant for you to pick your keyboard up and hold it like a guitar, where F1-F5 are the buttons and enter is the fret? Either way, I just saw it today and was...

    So apparently there's a home use Ear Scope now. I'm waiting to hear when it'll be available here in the US, or at least when we'll be able to buy it. Does this interest any of you guys? We can finally stop using Q-tips. Oh, and we can finally see how dirty it looks inside our own ears, lol...

    IEM's and tips

    What's up guys. Do any of you guys have different sized ear canals? I put on my e500's with the stock tips and the left ear goes in and seals perfectly, but I can't for the life of me get my right ear to fit. If I try a few times, I can get it to seal, but not as well as the left ear no...

    Creative x-Fi Platinum - $69.99

    http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4559527 $100 MIR, but still a heck of a deal imo. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but for $70, it's a great soundcard for those who want digital out + EAX 5.0.

    cable lengths?

    I'm debating on recabling my KSC75's right now and I only have one main question. Does different cable lengths affect sound quality much? I'm very used to the way earbud lengths are (been using earbuds for the last 12+ years of my life). From the mini plug, there's about 2 feet of cabling...

    How long will an amp last?

    I have a Corda Aria and I'm wondering what the shelf life is. I tend to leave it on overnight and am a bit worried it shouldn't be on that long. I turn it on around 8pm to start using and usually turn it off around 8am the next day. Should I be worried and turn it off before I sleep? Does...

    new member with a question =]

    I just bought a pair of Sennheiser HD595's and am wondering what you guys here consider "must haves" for songs to listen to. They should arrive in a few days, but I'm a little skeptical that the mp3's I currently have will be worth listening to try and hear a difference between the 595's and my...
