    I'm pretty sure they're the same, as I picked resistors with my DMM when I began. I'll double check when I get home, though.

    Sorry I wasn't clear about that. I took the LED out and tested from virtual ground to V+ and V-. The tutorial says that they should be within 0.1V of each other, and they are not. I tried to clean up some of my soldering and that helped a little, but they're still off. Any other suggestions?

    About a week ago I decided that it was time for me to dive into DIY. I have a very light background in electronics, so I have some experience soldering and what not. Many years ago I was into Ham Radio, and got my Extra license before that went the way of the dodo. I don't remember much from...

    How to properly connect M-Audio Studiophile BX5s?

    It's pretty kick butt. It's way more sub than is needed for the bx5as. It'll definitely shake the house. As far as SQ is concerned, I'm not so sure. I'm no audio expert, but it sounds a bit muddy to me. Honestly, I'd probably look at other options to pair with these speakers. I got mine used for...

    Studio Monitors for home use

    I have the BX5As, which I got from guitar center for $200 (they priced matched some random online website...awesome) I have it paired with a KRK RP10S. Without the sub, they pretty much have no kick. This particular sub is way too much sub for these speakers, but I got a great deal on it so I...

    Volume Adjustment and Gaming?

    1. You're describing an upgraded source here. It's not a bad option if you got the cash to spend on it. The E-Mu 0404 USB is a popular choice for sound cards around here and will set you back $199 (unless you shop around some.) http://www.emu.com/products/product....&product=15185 2. In-line...

    DAC for powered monitors and headphones?

    I have one of these that I use with my BX5As: http://www.krksys.com/index2.php?cat...ge=rokit_rp10s I do mini->dual XLR between my sound card and the amp, then XLRs to each of the monitors. The amp is a bit much for these speakers, but I don't mind being able to turn it up to 11 (:
