Hey everyone!   It's been a few years but I would love to get back into DIY. My last successful project was the Millet Hybrid Max. I loved putting that together. I'm looking for another project to get started on and would love some advice since I've been really out of touch for a while.   ...

Hey guys, I finally had some time to build my Millet Hybrid Max but on the instructions on the website for the construction of it states to match the HFE of the transistors. I realized that my multimeter can't measure HFEs... How important is it to do this? Does it make a huge difference...

Hello everyone, After a long time of lurking on these forums, I figure it's about time that I give back to the community. I recently read Jon's incredible thread on the diyMod for the ipod and after going through the pains of figuring out how to do it, I created this step-by-step tutorial...

So I have this knob that I got from digikey as per tangentsoft's recs: 226-2041-ND and I got the alps rk097 but I can't seem to figure out how to make the knob stick to the rk097. Did I get the wrong size or am I doing something dumb? Thanks!

Hello, I have a 4g photo ipod that I'm looking for a dock that works with the apple remote (that I got for free with my laptop). I heard that the Universal dock that Apple sells is not a true line out dock, so I was wondering if there were any solutions for a true line out dock that would...

Hello! So I've reached my 50 posts, and I've been a member since December but I still can't seem to be able to post... Anyone know what's going on? Does it usually take a little bit? I have a brand new Ipod Nano that I want to sell...

Does anyone know what the long-term consequences of using leaded solder are? Is there any danger of lead posioning as long as you don't bite a chunk of solder off?

I was wondering if anyone else on these forums were medical students or doctors? I'm currently a third year medical student at Washington University at St Louis.

I just got the new macbook pro that was updated on Tuesday. I was really surprised when I plugged in my DT 880s and found that the laptop was actually able to drive them unamped, and the sound wasn't half bad either! Has anyone else noticed this with past macbook pros? This is my first...

Hello! I managed to build my very own cmoy by following tangentsoft's instructions! I was wondering what people would recommend to drill holes for the Serpac enclosure for mounting the jacks... Also, I know that there's a 50 post limit before we can buy/sell something, but I have...

Hello! This is my first foray into DIY electronics and I'll probably be asking lots of questions. My first one is whether tangentsoft's linkwitz circuit found here: http://tangentsoft.net/audio/mlxfeed.html will work with cmoy circuit. I can't really see why it wouldn't but I wanted to...

Has anyone else with this amp experienced problems? Every time I pick it up or I slightly disturb it, the sound will go either to mono or to a very loud buzzing noise. I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this problem and if they had, what I should do to fix it. Thanks!

I know it's almost blasphemous to even suggest this but in light of the recent thread where it was suggested that the Conexant high definition audio chipset in the HP laptops were actually decent, does any one else have suggestions of laptops with similar findings? Thanks!

Has anyone ordered from these guys? Any experiences good or bad? How about with the amp itself? Thanks!

Anyone else from St. Louis around here? I'm just starting out here at head-fi and would love to meet someone with good equipment around here who can show me the ropes...

Hello, I'm still looking for an amp at around 150-200 dollars, but I was wondering if anyone had opinions on how much of a difference there would be between a portable versus a desktop amp in terms of SQ? There's been a lot of discussion of cheap portable amps but not so much lately on...

Hey guys, Is there a big difference between these two amps to justify the $40 dollar difference between them? I'm stretching my budget even considering the EPT so I'd like to know how the EPT compares to the EPC and to the Headphonia amp. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm just beginning my foray into headphones and I picked up my first serious cans: DT880 (2003). After trying to listen to them through my Klipsch speakers I realized how badly I needed an amp to drive them fully. I've been searching and looking around for a good portable...
