    Review by 'Lebob' on item 'Emu 0404 USB 2 Audio/MIDI Interface'

    I'm very satisfied with the EMU 0404 USB.  Even though I don't use the headphone amplifier, it sounds good compared with my other amps. High-res recordings of vinyl made with this device are excellent.  It's difficult to determine which is the recording during playback.  The main difference with...

    How to Recable Yuin PK3's

    After accidentally cutting the plug end off my PK3's with a power hedger, I spliced an Ipod earbuds' cable-end to the remaining PK3 wires.  I used a multimeter to figure out where the wire colors go in relation to the plug conductors.

    DIY 6BM8 Headphone Amp

    I'll look for the schematic.  It's on a hard-drive somewhere.  I'm listening to it again this morning.  The sound quality is impressive.

    DIY 6BM8 Headphone Amp

      I built this amp for work around 10 years ago.  I use it with DIY Fostex speakers.  The output transformers are from a vintage Akai 6BM8 reel-to-reel known to sound good.  I had plenty of high quality parts lying around when I made this amp.  It has all Allen Bradley resistors, Hexfreds, and...

    Thorens TD124

    The Thorens TD 124 was introduced in 1957, some three years after the debut of that other flagship turntable, the Garrard 301. Like the Garrard, the TD 124 was a motor unit: a component rather than integrated turntable, whereby the user had to supply his or her own plinth, not to mention tonearm...

    Almarro A205A MKII

    The new Almarro A205A MkII I've had the MkII version of the Almarro A205A for a couple of months now. Its latest incarnation employs the same circuit but Yoshihiro-san says that it has better output transformers for more frequency extension and now 8- and 16-ohm taps. The main difference between...

    New to Computer Audio, EMU Tracker Settings Question?

    Each time my computer restarts the Emu Tracker goes back to 44.1khz.  I have to reset the EMU control panel to get 192khz.  The EMU 0404 retains it's settings.  Can the Tracker be set so that it retrains it's higher level settings after restart like the EMU 0404?   Thanks

    Two modified wrongs make a right: Superlux HD681 & HI-FI Mini DAC TDA1543

    I tried a pair of modified Superlux HD681 headphones and modified HI-FI Mini DAC TDA1543 together and was quite surpised by the SQ.  It's like they both have extra of what the other needs.

    Smartphones and SQ

    I have a Verizon Galaxy S.  It has better SQ than any of the of IPods around my house.  I get music into it with Doubletwist which syncs Itunes playlists to the phone in a click or two.  For playback I use the included player software that has an EQ.  It even sounds good with HD650's.  I plan to...
