Oh my gosh this person is skilled. Check out this DIY tube amp FROM SCRATCH.

I did not realize that others were also having problems but another Head-fi member posted a link to others having problems with Schiit Heresy amplifiers in another forum. I cannot post that link since the last time I posted a link to said forum, they deleted my post. So, I don't want to risk...

It is very easy to blow up a tube amp if settings are incorrect in the slightest. So, below is a copy of my settings cheat sheet for my Little Dot I+ amplifiers. Please read over my list to see if I have made any errors. Perhaps this may be useful to other headfiers. NOTE: This is not a tube...

I just returned from a trip. Not by car. Not by plane. Not by boat. My trip was on a Grado SR225 headphone plugged into a Little Dot I+ fitted with Sylvania GB-408A (nickel plated pins, not gold) vacuum tubes and an LT1364 operation-amplifier. I have just listened to various pieces of music...

Ordering The Little Dot I+ hybrid tube/transistor headphone amplifier is made in China. I ordered one through eBay for $109. Shipping cost $34. Total cost to my door $143. For a headphone amplifier with convenience of an integrated power supply and comes preassembled, $143 sounds like an...

Just a heads-up on a good deal at Amazon for the Kenwood VRS-7100 receiver. I don’t think that this deal will last long! This receiver has Dolby Headphone processing on the headphone output. I was going to buy this a long time ago when it was a good deal at $315+ but now that it has aged it has...

Opera going in Paris. I was wondering about a few things: 1) What are the details of your experience? 2) How much does it cost ($US) per person for decent seats? 3) What do the audience members wear? 4) Do you recommend going? 5) Palais Gamier, Opéra Bastille, or is there a better...

I have been trying to get my HTPC/Infocus X1 projector system together. I spent the entire day yesterday installing a faster larger hard drive, fresh Windows XP Pro/SP2 install, latest audio and video drivers etc. My system: motherboard - MSI KT266PRO2-RU ram – 512MB hard drive – IBM...

I was reading this thread and thinking how I drink about four galons of milk a week. Not wanting to hijack the thread like I usually do I though I would post this link to an interesting read on milk. Click here -> Interesting read on milk and your health

I really like the volume knob on the Emmeline XP-7 headphone amplifier. Do you know which places sell this knob (or one of the same style) in black and/or silver for cheap? [EDIT] - MisterX picture removed "Sorry MisterX. My bad. I apologize." Thanks!

I figured that the DIY route would be a cheap way of building an amp. Plus I could really customize it to be better than a commercial amp, or another amp made for me. I am building a few dip16amps. I was talking to Tangent a few months back about ordering some op-amp adaptors to try my hand...

I went to Digi-key.com to place an order for pots for a DIY amp and it lists the EVJ-Y and EVJ-C series of Panasonic pots. What is the difference? (I won't be soldering it directly to a PCB. It will be solder/wired to a dip16amp cmoy.) My problem might partly stem from not being able to...

I am really impressed by the quality of my Emmeline XP-7 enclosure. So for my next DIY amp I want the same or similar enclosure.

I am thinking about making a headphone amplifier similar to the RA-1. I saw this picture of one that Lil_JV made. Where would I purchase the PCB from? Would you guys say this is a good inexpensive amp for my Grado SR-225? Perhaps you know of a better ~$50 DIY amp to pair with...

I am trying put together a decent vinyl setup. My cheap turntables are okay but I want to venture into some higher end gear. Here is my Walker CJ55. The tone arm is a LINN BASIK LV-X. I just got my Grado Red - Prestige Series cartridge in the mail today. I have installed the...

Even though this is a decent turntable I know that it is not all that spectacular by today’s standards. But for me it is probably an upgrade from a Technics turntable. It is a Walker CJ55. The tone arm is a LINN BASIK LV-X. close up pictures Perhaps you can identify the...

Has anyone had any good experiences with a Digital Audio Amplifier using headphones? Here are some of the current models that are inexpensive. Receivers with stereo and surround digital amplification: Panasonic SA-XR25, SA-XR45, SA-XR50 SA-XR70 with HDMI Available August 2004...

hottyson received a personal message from ampgalore which read: Quote: Hi Hottyson, I looked at your gallery, I see that you also have the XP7. What is your experience with the XP7 like? My XP7 is my first headphone amp, so I have no basis for comparison. Do you think the XP7 is worth...

I used to go to the Garden Court at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seattle about every other week. Back then they had Fred Radke and Gina Funes, which have since moved to other performance venues. They are a married couple that performed with a small band. Their son was also often featured as part of...

I found a used Pioneer QX-8000A receiver. I know that vintage Pioneers are well regarded in the speaker community so I was very curious as to how it might sound with headphones compared to my vintage Marantz. Having experienced much love and joy with Marantz receivers I couldn’t help but like...

Feel free to express details of your problems if you have had any. If you do comment, please state which revision SXH-1 you had problems with. Please don’t vote if you have never had a Perreaux SXH-1.

Lately, it seems that many have a hard time choosing between the Emmeline XP-7, DIY PPA, Perreaux SXH1, and the Gilmore Lite amplifiers. If you follow the threads you will find that there is disagreement as to which is best. Consequently it narrows down to individual preference. This means that...

I need right angle RCA plugs to make a custom interconnect. The right angle RCA’s that I was going to order are these: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/psho...tnumber=091-155 Well, as you can see they are discontinued. Do any of you know of a good right angle RCA connector (Not adapters) for my...
