Lampizator in a box
Many have probably stumbled upon Lukasz Fikus' Lampizator, the guy strikes me as a cross between Patrick and Ti Kan (no disrepect to any parties). Reading through his pages, he of course rates his work very highly, which peaked my interests. Trying to find objective opinions was hard but...- mattcalf

Weller WLC100 in Australia.
Well I ordered one of these after reading a few things about it around the place (some good and some bad). One thing I obviously didn't research well enough was that there is no Australian Voltage version. What is the process I need to go through to safely use this station in Australia...- mattcalf

Ipod Classic Screen Problems
One day about 4 months ago I took my classic out of my bag and found that when I turned it one the screen was frozen, however, it would play music. The screen has a strange blue/green tinge to it and I've been meaning to take it into a local shop to see if they can fix it. I can connect it and...- mattcalf

AFAIK it hasn't been posted before but I came across some very interesting noises last night. More specifically, I was brushing up on some NIN and I saw that an image had been 'synthesized' into a track. Investigating further I found that another artist had done it. Upon finding these I...- mattcalf

Better quality better for ears?
I had a slight ringing in my ears last night which can be attributed to some fairly intense flac listening last night. And that got me to thinking about the levels of quality in relation to damage to your ears. I figure it would be ever so minute, but wouldn't listening to high end rips of...- mattcalf

Audio Careers
Being the forum we're in I was wondering if (surely) there are any 'professionals' among us. In particular I'm asking about audio production and engineering, this is because I look at this as a very real and extremely interesting career path. As I'm very young I'm wondering if people could...- mattcalf
