Could anybody recommend a decent pair of earbuds under $30.00?  I'm looking for some stocking stuffers for iPod users.

I wasn't able to procure metal film resistors for positions RB10L/R - RB11L/R in my Millet MOSFET-MAX build (out of stock at Mouser). Instead, I went with metal oxides (Panasonics). Do you think I will take a hit in sound quality going with metal oxides?

Some early in the making shots of my Millet MOSFET-MAX build:

Here's a couple of shots of a really nice DC Power Jack and Plug. Made by Switchcraft (Mfg P/N L712AS and 761KS17) and they actually stay together when connected (via threaded coupling). It's going in my Millet MOSFET MAX build: I've been disappointed with other jacks/plugs that rely...

Recommendation for CR1A CR1C - CA4L/R CA5L/R for MOSFET MAX: Panasonic FC Nichicon PW Nichicon Muse FG From the above three choices, which would be the better cap for the above mentioned positions (I'd really like Panasonic FM's but can't find them in the specified sizes)? (Excuse me...

Check it out. My new ESR meter arrived today and will make my DIY arsenal almost complete:

We need a new forum smiley - One characterized as a hand wearing a pair of headphones representing "Talk to the Hand."

Does anybody know the highest point on a populated Mini3 board in either mm or inches?

I'd like to add an oscilloscope to my DIY workshop. I'm interested in a used Tektronix brand scope and am wondering what minimum specs it should have in terms of channels - frequency, etc. I would only be using it for audio building, tweaking and repair. Comments/suggestions?

One of my favorite actors Karl Malden passed away at age 97. Rest in peace Karl!

Check out some pics of the light ring I made for my Beta22 build: No hot spots/rings and illuminates nicely.

Does this panel design do justice to the Beta22? Comments/suggestions?

Cool! Have a read: FOXNews.com - New Technology Could Put 500 Movies on One DVD - Science News | Science & Technology | Technology News

What is the input impedance of the Beta22? I have scoured all public resources availabe to me for the specification and can't find anything. I ask, because I will either be buying or building a stepped attenuator for my Beta22 (which is currently under construction).

To go with all the other "What are you..." threads...

So much is discussed on shielding signals (EMI/RFI) when it comes to electronics (audio and video). While searching the topic on the web, I came across this link http://zapatopi.net/afdb/ I guess this is where shielding starts and the rest kind of falls into place...

Which is (+) and which is (-) on the AC connections marked with arrows? Thanks in advance (better safe than sorry).

Should I use a Slow-Blow or Fast-Acting fuses on my Talema transformers/power supply boards?
