I have been using my PCI Emu0404 for who knows how long now...unfortunately my current computer has no free PCI slots to fit the card.   I have not kept up with any new soundcards for the past few years, so I now need a recommendation for a external soundcard/dac.  The soundcard will be...

Hello all,   My brother in law is currently looking for some headphones for his daily commute around the train system in NYC.  I've been out of the headphone game for a while, and the new amount of choices are really staggering.  He brought up the beats, but after reading threads around here...

Recently when playing music through my computer, the music itself will speed up, slowdown, and stutter randomly.  This usually precedes an error saying "Unknown Error.  Error code: 1  Windows error message: Undefined external error." which stops any wav output from playing on my...

Im looking to get into vinyl, and im having a hard time deciding between a few entry level TT's. Im generally looking for a turntable with cartridge for under 350$. I hear good things about the pro-ject debut III, music hall 2.1, rega p1-p3, and the goldring gr1.2. Anyone have a opinion on the...

I'm running an emu 0404, and im trying to control the volume through a programmable usb volume knob (the Griffin Powermate). From what I can tell there are no keyboard shortcuts to adjust main mix output control. Does anyone know a way to control the main volume through another method?

Im having some trouble getting sound to come out of my emu 0404 from my leadtek tv2000xp expert tv card. The audio signal is being transfered to my emu through the internal audio cable. Anybody know how to set up patchmix for me to get some sound through?

When i use my er-4p's in conjunction with my PPA, at low volumes the sound is clear. However when I turn it up to what i think is a comfortable listening level, it will play clear sound for about 1-2 seconds, then immediately switch over to pure noise. The amp works wonderfully with my 650's and...

I've been looking for a nice 1/4" plug to terminate my DIY hd650 cable with - from what i've read it seems that the vampire 1/4" seems to be well liked, as well as the cardas grqs and various neutrik plugs. What are your favorite plugs to use and why? And it would also be appreciated if you...

After my amp was complete and completely working, i cased it. However while casing it a the left output wire snapped in the process. After taking it out and resoldering it, I found out that my right channel now gives almost no sound coming out of it. Ive tried replacing both the headphone jacks...

I just recieved my chaintech av710 in the mail today and installed it using via's recent 324c drivers. Is there anyway to adjust the bass and treble like I could when using SBlive! drivers, instead of having to adjust the equalizers in the music programs i use? Seems as the av710's bass and...

After letting my non-working linkwitz sit in my ppa for two months I decided to purchase another board and parts and just build again from scratch, but after I built it the same problem resurfaced - it does nothing. One thing I did stumble upon however is when I accidentally made a solder bridge...

Alright, ive been ripping my hair out over this simple little crossfeed, still dont know why the switches arent working correctly. The high/low enable/bypass switches do nothing unless the toggle is directly in the middle of the switch (keep in mind this is a on-on switch there is no center...

Ive had the modified linkwitz crossfeed in my PPA for sometime now, but i hardly use it. Whenever i do turn it on, the typical volume levels drop, however the treble level also seems to be greatly reduced giving everything a muffled sound. I was just wondering, is this normal? Everything was...

Finally completed my ppa Features blackgate caps on c1, all silver wire,bassboost , phils descrete diamond buffer, steps powersupply, and modified linkwitz crossfeed. This was my first DIY project, and i'd just like to thank tangent for great help through his website, and the people on this...

Is there a simple way to add a LED to the bassboost switch and linkwitz crossfeed switches (dual dpdt) on the PPA?
