(Going to be posting this on diyAudio as well, but thought it would be nice to see one of these on SA forums. Here goes!) I finally have my hands on a teeny tiny slice of Nelson Pass designed amplifier. As it turns out, only the chassis for the Amp Camp Amp arrives by DHL... the rest of it is...

At this point I've made more headphone cables than I care to count, and in my last post there was a request to document the procedure. So while it's fairly straightforward, here's my process - by no means the process, but I've learned a few nifty tricks here and there I thought I might share...

What started as a need for a 4-pin XLR cable for my Sennheiser's eventually became an meticulous pursuit of cable perfection. Same old story right? Here's the final version of my "Periapt inspired" balanced HD6XX cables. Going to be making a couple of shorter ones and some adapters in future...

Anyone have any thoughts regarding the quality of Sony HT receivers? Reason I ask is that the price just seems way too good to be true. As an example, their near-top-of-the-range receiver, the STR-DN1040 (http://bit.ly/1elS3Kk) goes for around R7200 locally. This is a 165w per channel, 7...

I've been slowly building up a home cinema system. So far, I have a set of BX2s for fronts and the matching BX Centre speaker. Using an old, but beefy Onkyo TR-577 receiver. Cashflow is looking pretty good right now, so I'm ready to get a subwoofer and some rear speakers to complete the 5.1...
