    ripping vinyl

    Ive been looking into this quite a bit recently. As for software, you can use Audacity which is free, but limited functionality. I think im going to use Adobe Soundbooth, but it depends if you want to pay for software or not. What im having trouble with is finding a good, well priced ADC...

    Painting MDF?

    I'm half way through a Flexi Rack build using MDF and personally i've started with three coats of MDF Sealer. Rubbing down in between each coat. If you have a lot of edges visible its a must as MDF just soaks up pain like no tomorrow. You will also notice that edges get quite rough after you...

    Looking to upgrade my vinyl rig

    I have no experience with them, but lower end VPI's (i think like the scout) might fit into your budget so might be worth a look? Just for a bit more choice, as i say, i can't go recommending them.

    My Two Cents: It is NOT okay to cross signals in a cable...

    I don't claim to know one way or another, but i do have a couple of questions if someone wouldn't mind trying to answer them. Does it matter what 'level' the signal being transmitted is? Whether there will be less crosstalk with a line level signal, than with an amplified signal? Is there...

    You like NiN? Janes Addiction? Well then, you need this!

    Not sure what's going wrong as I don't have a clue about torrents, but I downloaded BitTorrent and then opened the torrent file but I just get a 'bad data from tracker' error and the download never even starts. Can anyone help? Im trying to d/l the WAV version if that makes a difference.

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    I've never had a comfort issue either. There might be a little discomfort when using new tips for the first time, but it doesn't take long for them to soften up, especially if you are using them a lot.

    DIYers in the UK, where do you buy bulk cables and plugs?

    Canford is good for bulk, but shipping is £5 minimum so make it worth it. Location Technical Facilities Ltd. Home Page Is good for Canare stuff and some other wire. As said above there is Maplin. John's Wire Shop (NavShips) on ebay is good for wire, very reliable, great guy to deal with.
