I'd start with both volume and treble boost set to 0, and go from there.  If they are bright, lower the treble, if dark, raise it.  Same for volume.  if you have your pre-amp maxed, and still want more volume, add volume at the speakers, if you are lacking fine volume control in your normal...

If there is one in your area, hit up Guitar Center and give their monitors a listen.  When I went, they were very helpful,  which basically means they left me alone in their studio/mixing room with my iPod hooked up to their switcher, and probably 25 different models of studio monitors.  I ended...

I just did a mini^3 build for a friend of mine. Parts total came out just a few cents shy of $130, but that included the $40 for the panel set, so figure $90 for a mini^3 build if you drill your own panels. The only thing that makes the build difficult is the surface mount chips, but they...

Just FYI, If anyone is interested in coming in to town early, the weekend prior to RMAF is the Great American Beer Festival (Great American Beer Festival). The combination would make for quite the vacation! nine

I'll add my thanks to everyone that showed up, vendors and ordinary Joes alike. It was great to get to listen to all the different rigs, most of which were well out of my price bracket (at least the way the economy is going right now). I definitely liked both the LA7000's and the HD800's. I...

Looking forward to tomorrow. Also I want to get added to the list for pizza&beer at Crucials Nine

I haven't been real active on here lately, but you can put me down for the meet. I've gotten a couple of new sources since last years meet, a Duet and an AMB Gamma-1, both of which I'll plan on bringing. I should also have an M^3 with HD-600's, and an Ipod Classic 5g -> Mini^3->ATH-ESW9 portable...

Check out the Apogee Duet. It's a little more than your budget, but is definitely worth the extra $$, especially if you are looking to record with Logic. Apogee Website: Apogee Electronics: Premium Digital Audio Solutions There are also a couple extensive threads on Head-Fi discussing it...

I'm running my Duet on a 1Ghz Powerbook G4 with 1.12GB (1GB + 128MB) of memory under 10.5.4, with no playback issues. I haven't tried recording... nine

The Alps website (here) doesn't list a 100k stereo pot with switch as a stock item, although it looks like it might be available as a special order (minimum quantity is unknown, probably at least 100). Mouser lists the 100k stereo non-switched pot (p/n 688-RK0971210D97) as "On Order"...

If your looking for a mating connector, I believe it's an MCX, although it's hard to tell from the photos nine

Go through error401's list, and pick one of the meters with a continuity function. The audible beep is absolutely invaluable when trying to trace out cables. If you are really inclined to spend money, I'd suggest investing in a good set of very fine tipped probes. Most of the probes that come...

U1 serves as the constant current source for the charging circuit, A problem there would definitely prevent charging. nine
