Brookstone Big Blue Bluetooth Amplifier (dac amp) - really?
Almost eveery bluetooth speaker or headphone I've ever had - even if it's already paired with something else, I can hit a button or hold down a button and put it back into pairing mode to pair with a new device. This is the odd one - every other device has had the capability. Some cheaper...- AirForceTeacher

Brookstone Big Blue Bluetooth Amplifier (dac amp) - really?
So, yes, that makes sense, but every other "slave" device I have has a pairing button, so you can pair it with another device. This one doesn't appear to have it, and it only enters pairing mode when it's not in range of something it's paired with, at least, that's what it appears to be.- AirForceTeacher

Brookstone Big Blue Bluetooth Amplifier (dac amp) - really?
Anyone figure out any way to repair it to another device? There doesn't seem to be anything in the manuals either from Brookstone or Vencer. I loaned it to someone so they could go to the gym, and now it's paired to his phone until I get out of range, lol. I had to disconnect it from my...- AirForceTeacher

Kickstarter: The Billie Amp
So, still not delivered, but the makers are posting monthly reports. It appears that it goes to manufacturing this month or early next month. I'm near the end of the list of original backers, so I expect I won't get it before March. I'd like to write a review, but frankly, I just don't have...- AirForceTeacher

Bravo Audio - funny looking little tube amps
So, is the Bravo/Indeed able to be used as a tube preamp if I'm careful with the volume? I want to put something between my Sonos and my receiver to try for a different sound.- AirForceTeacher

CMOY or other portable amp suitable for instrument level inputs?
I'm looking to get back into learning bass guitar, and since I work long hours in a computer ops center with lots of free time, thinking about practicing at work on weekends and noghts. But, headphone amps for bass and guitar are almost universally cheap POS. Is there a CMOY or other...- AirForceTeacher

[review] NuForce uDac-3
UDAC-3 is back on Massdrop with lowest price $68.99. Good to have as a backup? I just got an Arcam rLink on eBay two weeks ago for my desktop - no USB, using optical from the Realtek chipset audio card. I could throw this in instead and then have the optical DAC for other devices at home.- AirForceTeacher

Rate The Last Movie You Watched
Does it have to be a movie you've watched for the first time? I just watched Lilo and Stitch again last night. Almost 50 years old, but I still tear up when Stitch says "This is my family. It's small, and broken, but still good. Yes, still good."- AirForceTeacher

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
Well, in my case the scratchy knit is the volume, so tone control controversy takes a back seat. Incidentally, related newbie question: with three volume controls - the application, Windows, and the analog amplifier, which should be set to what? From my older days, I always was told to set...- AirForceTeacher

Pictures of your computer rigs! Post them here!
I own a pair of V604's, so I've been looking for deals on the others from the series - those are V601's. Eventually they will be my rear surrounds for my home theater, with the V604's and an S525 center. Then I guess I'll need to get something for the computer room again ;)- AirForceTeacher
