Anyone else eagerly awaiting THIS?. Trying to convince my dad to get one of these when/if they come out. I'm hoping for a V6(or a less likely V8. ala Top Secret) twin turbo. I'm thinking at least 350bhp. So who else is waiting for this? JV.

Well, ATM my speakers have no amp because the idiot who last "fixed" it actually made it much worse. I brought the amp to a crappy stereo fix it shop because of a problem with the protection feature on the amp. The protection would keep coming on and off and eventually would shut off so I could...

Thinking of buying the amp right now and the PSU later. Can anyone comment on how this amp sounds paired with the DT880's(from experience)? Thanks, JV.

Could somone direct me to a decent rotary on/off switch? What would it be called(like dpdt, spst,etc.)? I am looking for one that will fit a case with 26mm(1.024") internal clearance. Thanks in advance. JV.

I would like to hear from anyone who has any experience with either(or both) of these amps, preferably with high impedance cans. I have DT880's coming around christmas so I would like to start puting together a kit over my christmas break. I checked out my options and I've narrowed it down to...

Well, I recently sold my AKG K401's and now I'm looking to upgrade. I would like to get a great all around set of cans. I listen to all kinds of music. From Dire Straits to Ludacris to Sarah McLachlin. So I need for them to be very versatile. I want to be able to rock out but also just have a...

http://clubpds.edunet4u.net/ftp/pds/...984_1_best.wmv I have some friends that can do some simple moves but I have never seen anything like this! They obviously have too much time on their hands. JV.

I am gathering parts for a clone decided to just use an elpac power supply instead of batteries. Which voltage is more suitable? 24V or 15V? Thanks in advance. JV.

I was just wondering if anyone has tried using any of the Black Gate N or NX caps in place of the film caps. I am thinking about using .1uf NX Hi-Q for the bass boost and 4.7uf N for the C2's and C5's. Any thoughts on these? I don't know if this has been discussed before, so sorry if it has(I...

I have been looking for a source for good quality/low cost protoboard for a while. I have tried rat shacks big board but I found the copper pads come off too easily. I looked at mouser and digikey and they only have vectorboard which is way too expensive. I was looking for parts for some guitar...

I am designing a MINT-like PCB and am wondering if I could just connect the BW pin on the buffers to the negative rail. It is only going to be used at home with a power supply. JV. EDIT: I am going to be using 5-lead TO-220 buf634's. Also is it possible to buffer the virtual gnd as well...

I have been trying to order from them for a week now but they have not replied to any of my emails. Anyone know why? This happen to anyone else? JV.

I want to build a really good MINT for home but I don't want to spend a load of money on a power supply. What are my options and what should I be looking for. Thanks, JV.

I am looking to start some more DIY projects so I decided to sell my speakers. They are Infiniy RS 3001. I have no idea how much they are worth or what the specs are. Could someone please help me out. Estimated value? Specs? Here are a couple pics. Thanks, JV.

Well today I was listening to my Karma and went to turn the volume only to find that the button was jammed. I bought it used from someone (who bought it in the states) because at the time they were not available in Canada. Do think I could just bring it to best buy and say I got it as a gift and...

I would like to build an amp for use at my computer desk and decided to try something a little different. I am going to build a CMoy with the buffered supply on tangents site using a TO-220 buf634. How do I apply the pins to the schematic. Thanks, JV.

I made an order at Take Five Audio yesterday and got an email today saying that they were out of the 23awg Cardas silver wire. They had some extra spools that they are going to send me though. They told me that when they get new stock in 8 days that they would reduce the price down to...

Does anyone know when the 4G iPod is coming out? I am going to get an iPod soon but don't want to get it and have a new one come out in a month. I like the current iPod but could stand having to charge it every 5 hours. If this has been discussed before could someone please point me to the...

Just like the title says. I want to find the cheapest canadian price for the Zen Xtra. I want to buy locally so I can return it if I don't like it. Compusmart does price matches so I will buy from there. Doesn't matter where its from or if its online I just want to find the cheapest so I can do...

I am going to be getting a new soldering iron. All I can find locally is a 35 watt weller. Will this get too hot for soldering on circuit boards? Will it damage op amps? Thanks in advance. -JV EDIT: I found a 25W as well. Which would be best?

Check this out. I think I am going to get these when I get my Zen. Look at the fit kit. 3 types of tips. The new tips look very similar to the EX70/71 tips. JV.

I am finished filling my circuit board on my SDS labs amp but want to add gain and input selector switches. How do I go about doing this? What switches do I use? I only want two inputs. I want to have a high gain of 10 and and low gain of 5. Thanks. JV.

I just picked up a philips cd 920 for $30. I don't know if it is worth anything or how good it is. I got it because I don't want to use portables as a source anymore and it is virtually brand new. Anybody know how much it retailed for? I am thinking of modding it. Here is an ebay auction for...

Does anyone know of a place to get some cheap silver hookup wire? I am in the stage of wiring everything up with my SDS Labs amp and want to use something other than radio shack junk. I just can't resist so I need to post a recent pic. Also does anyone know where I can get a case for...

Can someone tell me what the major differences in these three. The usb 2.0 version is $100 Cnd. cheaper than the NX and the Xtra is a tiny bit cheaper than the NX. What are the +/- 's of each player. I'm thinkin I will get the Zen usb 2.0(because of the price) but I am not really sure yet. Can...
