has anyone tried this with success? I am thinking about dedicating an old 200Mhz desktop to audio playback use, but the EMU website lists a minimum requirement of 500Mhz CPU. I could care less about running any of the bundled software and latency, but I'd suppose the driver doesn't use much CPU...

http://www.gen6991.idv.tw/team21/200...44/index.shtml I am currently building a buffer with six NE5532 in parallel driving one channel using the above circuitry. As I have read on NE5532's data that it sinks 8mA of current, and that a single TLE2426 can provide for 20mA of current. Does it...

I was trying to fix my roomate's meta42 earlier, but have came down to the conclusion that he has reversed the power polarity in the past, and had 18V DC running through quite a few components. It is currently still all my speculations, if true, is there any way that I could verify this...

I have to say that I am really buying these designs at first sight, and made a few improvements to these using material I had available. Chris does know what he is talking about. The mods are simple. I replaced the teflon tube in the middle with some polymer type braided tubing, and used...

Saw this thread at DIY Audio, thought I might mention it here I have not wrote much in the past month, so I guess this review is rather ghetto looking. If patience allow, below are some of my thoughts.(being my subjective view and only my subjective view) (perhaps with a bit of...

The last time I was at Canare's website they listed cables with both metal foil tape shielding with 100% coverage and cables w/ braided shields of 9x% coverage. I just wonder which really is better. Most cable manufacturers in the industry advertise braided shields on their cables. Are braids...

I have gotton some bare 12 guage 99.99% silver wires and would like to heat shrink or teflon tube them for making ics.(Can somebody confirm that if 12 gauges is = 12 AWG?) According to the manufacturer, 12 gauges round wires have the diameter of 0.081 in, and if converted to heat shrink...

http://www.synthplanet.com/product.lasso?pr=21001 All we have is a link, and all we have is to wait. This is not even found on AKG-acoustics.com, but found on synthplanet. Is this some sort of bogus or is this a site for preorders. They ask $60+ for UPS to USA, sounds a little bit insane to me.

Referred to this thread for more information Based on the former tube amp, LC-1, LC-icute has been created to utilize op-amps at it's best. It is class A and outputs between 0.15~0.3 Watts. It was originally designed to prove that AKG K501s are NOT as power hungry as most people think they...

What makes a PCDP legendary? is its build quality? internal amp? or the DAC/oversampling quality? The following models are commonly considered "vintage" models from Sony/Panasonic... Pana SX-500 Pana PA-65 (Not exactly a PCDP) Sony D-25 Sony D-25s Sony D-777 Sony D-E01 I know that...

I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE ANY RELATIVELY CHEAP HEADPHONE Y-SPLITTERS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE LOOKED INTO BRANDS LIKE KIMBER BUT $70-DOLLARS CABLES JUST DOESN'T WORK FOR ME... I AM LOOKING FOR A ALTERNATIVE THAT IS BETTER THAN THE NORMAL RATSHACK OR MONSTER CABLE PRODUCTS...

I am currently doing a non-extensive study and report on organs. I would like to get some CDs and particularily good ones that people have heard and liked. I am looking for recommendations here. p.s. Was not there some site about binaural recordings posted earlier that had quite a few...

I was really wondering about getting the Etys since I heard SOOOO much great thingz about them. Here is my problem... Is ER4P really worth THAT much of an additional price compared to the performance of ER6?(I know the answer is definitely YES, but still, would that be so much of an issue both...
