I'd wager you're using a USB source aren't you? It is typical for actions like typing or scrolling to cause audio noise when using a USB DAC. As others have mentioned, grounding the input and grounding the NFB pot are good places to start. p.s. Take it easy on the spacing. It makes your post...

Popped my first spoke today on the way to work. I took it in to the shop under warranty, but they told me popped spokes are not covered . The guy said it was normal wear and tear... and is going to happen all the time. Do you guys think that it's reasonable to assume that spokes will continue to...

oh how I long for a fully chromed frame...

Sexy amp, nice job.

Quote: New sleeves and lube are a good suggestion. I went thru the same deal last year when I was fixing up my city rider. Here is some other stuff I tried that helped....   Check how tight your brake bolt is. The brakes will be stiff if the bolt is too tight; newer brakes don't seem to...

damn.... 24L of the good stuff is quite a bit.

Nice to see that you keep your city rider so clean. I scrubbed mine down before last season and it's already covered in rust from the winter street salt and rainy spring season. Nice bike tho.

Quote: The first one looks like it says "cyrene". Never heard of it, but the engraving screams expensive steel/titanium. I'd be curious to hear about it as well.

oh sheet, punnisher is bringin the makeshift k1000's. If only my facewoofer was a bit more....uh........portable. Anyway, I think that March 27 sounds reasonable and dayton is only a hop, skip and a jump away for me. I haven't gotten any new gear so I'll prob. just be rockin the old...

If any of you recall, I was complaining a while ago that there weren't any local bars that sold decent beer at a decent price. I finally found one, 2$ premium domestic/import pints during happy hour. I had a bell's two fisted, which was supremely clean tasting. It tasted similar to the...

I just jumped onto my photobucket account to upload some pics, and saw that there was a "girls with headphones" picture contest going on on the home page. Here is the link to the page: Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket

My beer adventures of late: Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale - I've put down a few cases of this over the winter. I can't believe that it's the same price as their standard pale ale. Generous on the hops, a bit of malt to balance and a higher than avg abv to get you krunk with your buddies. Not...

Ok, so I got the microphone working with programs now. For some reason software only wants to recognize the left mic of the two mics on the 0404. The weird thing is that when i go into sound properties and monitor the mic, the right mic also works... just not with programs for some reason. Donno...

I just installed windows 7 x64, and tried using my emu 0404. It seems to work okay for playback, but it have had trouble getting the microphone input to work with things like ventrilo and skype. Anyway... more to come if i get anything to work.

here's my take on dogfish's ipa's: 60 min - water compared to the other two. Really quite unimpressive as IPA's go. 90 min - tastes more malty than hoppy. For me this is very dissapointing for an ipa. Am I off base expecting an IPA to be hoppy? I think some people who like strongly...

ya, I just had the sam adams sampler a few weeks ago and that coastal wheat was horrendous. I was, however, surprised to find that the blackberry wheat beer was really good, for its category at least. I also just tried bells two hearted ale and it was certainly good and hoppy, but I don't...

If it's reasonably warm, I really don't mind riding in the rain with fenders on. I've commuted in 45-35F weather in the rain, but it was pretty miserably as I don't have a 100% waterproof set of gear. Any colder and.. well it wouldn't be raining now would it.

speaking of stone... I had my second ruination ipa ever last weekend. Not that it's news, but man what an amazing and hoppy beer. Right down my alley. Anyone able to offer any suggestions on other beers in the same genre (pale ale, ipa, etc...) that might be worth trying? To name a few...

if i recall correctly, shimano does make modern downtube shifters. I've seen pics of an old bike fully pimped out with modern 105, including down tube shifters.

I think we should strongly consider postponing. Nobody is really manning the ship, and we're just scrambling to get a location locked down. The room Jun showed me isn't actually reserved, its just a room he has access to as a student/employee, so for all we know it could be filled on that day. I...
