I would like to buy this plasma stand from the guys, Wood Smart.  This is the product link. http://www.woodsmart.co.za/plasma_b1.html Has anyone bought their stuff?  I am interested in what their build quality and finish is like.  As well as any other comments you have. Thanks

My router is wired to the PC and the DLink NAS.  The TV is wireless and I have confirmed that there is data getting through as there is now a bar scrolling across the bottom of the screen with very current world events on it.  I am not sure what DLNA is.  There is a program on the PC side...

I have recently bought a second had DLINK NAS (Dlink NDS 323) and I have a Samsung plasma TV that I would like to play movies on. In between sits my PC and the wireless router/router.  The TV successfully talks to the wireless router but the PC does not see the TV and the TV does not see the...

They all look like they have the standard dual op amp pin out.  I assume they all are used in different stages of the amp.  What you could do just to try is to try some fancy /  expensive op amps in your board.  You would need to remove the said parts and put some high quality sockets in their...

A PC power supply will be able to deliver a lot of current on the 12V rail.  PC power supplies are plentiful and for under R1000 you should find one that will deliver the power you need. Below are some specs for a Thermaltake 500W litepower DC OUTPUT              +3.3V +5V +12V -12V...

Hi, Thanks to all the organisers and display people for their efforts. I think the day was most enjoyable and the level of quality in the speakers and amps that were on display is astounding.  I did not hear a combination that did not fail to impress. Well done!

That makes VERY interesting and entertaining reading Ludo.  You should consider doing it more often. What I am still getting from reading on this forum is that there are a bunch of guys out there that really know what they are talking about! Keep it coming Ludo!!! :clap:

You say not intended for HE speakers.  Would not be a matter of lowering the damping factor for HE speakers.  I am sure this is possible by tuning the feedback and output impedance of the amp.  This is actually quite an interesting subject when you start to look.  Nelson Pass speaks about it...

WOW. Would this not damage anything?  Ears?  Roof? ;D

Hi, This is a really nice thread. I have also a Kidnap from Heinrich!  But it has only made some sounds so far, nothing really serious.  This is whetting the appetite a bit. cheers

It is great that you are taking pictures from the beginning so that we can see your progress.  It does encourage the rest of us to get up from the keyboard and do some woodwork! Keep up the progress.

Why do you not have the cross over made locally?  I know that Jim Gore can make inductors and he can measure to confirm he has the value required.  Capacitors are available, you must just ask for the right di-electric.  And resistors should be the easy parts to find. There are even guys that...

Well done Ian! I can see that your creative juices are flowing.  As a non serious type of question, do you have an idea as to what the box is going to look like before you start, or does is sort of evolve as you are going? That is some fine work.

Here is an update. Heinrich was kind enough to populate my PCBs and test them as he wanted to verify that his kit of parts that he was posting to Cape Town was correct. Here are the pieces.  The amp is a GECO KidNap. As it is obligatory to build a planky, I set about converting part of a sub...

Hi, I am very pleased you have made a decision to build.  Could you give us an idea of what the speaker may look like. Cheers
