    what would be the use of a small (pF range) capacitor parallel to R4?

    Shunts very high frequencies (RF) to ground.

    Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?

    Wow, this thread is still going! (Member since June of 2001) I'm rarely active anymore as I don't think I have much to offer! My only complaint is the label finally came off of my official Head Fi coffee mug. Is there a warranty???

    Need help with AC interference on DC power supply output

    If the phono amp and the preamp both have ground connected power cords that may be the cause. try plogging both power cords in to the same power outlet, if they aren't all ready.

    Results of a lossless versus lossy blind listening test

    I believe your test was successful in that it eliminated confirmation bias as a variable. My opinion is confirmation bias is one of the biggest factors in audio preferences.

    Sony MDR-7506 repair? Never done this.

    If I remember correctly, there are a three Phillips screws under the foam covering the drivers. I was able to squish the earpad aside enough to get a scew driver into the screws by poking it through the foam. The screws are recessed into indents in the plastic. That was several years ago. Maybe...

    Compiling a database of source output impedance

    Compiling a database of source output impedance

    I think it's a interesting idea. You might have to post atutorial on how to make the measurement and calculate the output impedance.

    Odd problem with Decware CSP2+/Taboo II combo

    The pot would still be in parallel with the direct in jacks, shunting voltage to ground.

    Quad headphone driver project thingy

    I would suggest taking a look in the plumbing section of a hardware store - lots of different size plastic pipes and end caps and such - as a possible source for weather proof outdoor ready enclosures. ("Turns out that the peanut butter jar was not a good idea"- Man, that line just really...

    Portland Area Head-fi Meet: Echo Audio - 03/02/13

    Looks like I will be riding the bus, so that will limit what I bring to the meet, However, I could certainly be a table captain if there is still a need.

    Focusrite VRM Box

    Don't have a Mac, but, it does not display any weird problems (stops, etc) on my Windows 7 machine. I also have used it on an older (1.6 ghz celeron) laptop (Win 7) without problems. There is a Mac version of the software, and the dsp effects can be turned off in the software. I think the driver...
