    Powered Monitors in the $750 - $1,000 Range

    dont knock speakers based on their published specs. for that price range id get KRK v8s2's or Genelec 8020's. im familiar with the krk signature so i'd personally get the v8s2's, the genelec's are well tough though. the key thing is tho, to go and listen to them. most GC's or music stores...

    Acoustic DIY Amp

    what are u looking for, full amplification or preamplification? if seeking preamp'ing, have u tried connecting the pick up directly to a simple cmoy style amp? depending on the pickup it'll be good to go. my sister had a pickup on her violin and i used a simple low gain non inverting op amp...

    where to buy mint amp, and pimeta build questions

    in my experience there has been no audible difference between running a pimeta off a TREAD with cheap wall wart, TREAD with cheap transformer, or TEPS. you don't need a decent quality wall wart, most any will work well with it even a $5 bargain bin one. i dont believe there is a dedicated...

    Where to buy the OPA2107?

    it may not be what you expect from a stock chip but it very might well be what you get from a stock chip. re: sampling, if every man and their dog hadnt ordered opa627's for their cmoy's or pimeta's then maybe this part would still be available for engineers to sample online. i believe that...

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    best bet would be to contact conmann yourself and ask about oem pricing on their products, most manufs dont have their oem data available to the general public

    Anyone seen this? Shunyata DIY <100$ Power Conditoner

    the problem with that is the configuration used (a couple of caps and a varistor) is hardly ground breaking or unique. its a fairly commonplace arrangement in many things and has been for many years. now they may claim that theyve r&d'd the setup to find the most "musical" (the most...

    Could you power speakers with a Cmoy?

    sure looks like most of the gainclone schematics ive seen. for car battery use, something like a sonic impact t amp would be a good choice

    Recommendations for good analog EQs?

    well remember that this is a tube buffered stage so will definitely have an impact on the sound of the signal. it was designed to give the tube sound to recordings on demand. fantastic unit, i'd love to have one, in the signal chain of my dj setup mmm. parametric eq's = <3

    Recommendations for good analog EQs?

    in this case i was mainly reffering to microphone signals but they could also be raw uncorrected turntable signals.

    Recommendations for good analog EQs?

    actually in my home studio i dont use any analog signal processing, only vst type processing but in professional studio's ive worked in (both digital and analog centric rooms), perceived "low end" equipment such as alto, behringer, dod, bbe, art, etc etc etc is used right along side the high end...

    Recommendations for professional pcb manufacturing.

    i dont remember if there was a way to decrypt expresspcb files. but you are more then likely SOL if you don't want to use the expresspcb manufacturing options. to use other board houses you'd have to use another software package that will give you a non proprietery board file at the end of...
