    Quick Question re REW and OSX

    I've used REW and UMIK1 on OSX several times in the past and had this issue once but for the life of me can't remember how to resolve it. I only had experience with the previous version of REW with Soundflower etc but that's no longer needed (I think). Here it goes: When I'm trying to set the...

    First AVSA Lampizator build (me thinks?)

    So I finally decided to scatch an old itch. I've been wondering forever if Lucas Fikus (the Lampizator) was the "real deal"  :thinking: so I took the plunge and decided to purchase his kit and try it on a cheap old TDA 1541 CDP. I went for the version 3.0 kit with upgraded PSU - I believe this...

    RedMere Active HDMI technology

    http://www.audiogurus.com/learn/cables/redmere-active-hdmi-cables-technology/510 Thought I'd share an interesting article I found. I am using some of these cables currently and for the price I don't think they can be beaten. Especially useful for those of us who want to have long runs and don't...

    Rod Elliot P03a Build

    So the wifey nagged me about getting sound into our bedroom that wasn't limited to my current Audio-GD + headphone setup. Hairdryers and Hifiman headphones don't mix which was a good point. So I started a build and thought I'd post some of the pics for all to see the finished project. Started...

    Vivere Dreams

    After spending the evening with Gerts newest genius creation I found myself tossing and turning. Something was amiss with her, but I couldn't quite get to the bottom of my unction. Then it hit me like 192kHz PCM stream: Wouldn't it be great to have a wandboard module with SBT running to just...

    Sounds like a scam right?

    I was trawling the net for a set of Mark Levinson power amps and found this: http://app.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-mark-levinson-no-436-no-436-2014-02-23-amplifiers-poland Contacted the seller who was very amenable and friendly and even agreed to ship with a 50% deposit - but contrary...

    Help with replacement Transistors

    I need assistance from the bright forumites to find replacements for this transistor pair: They're in an old Cyrus amp. The one channels output has begun to sound scratchy / crackling. Am I right to suspect the output transistor? Could it be something else? How could I test it?

    UMIK-1 any good?

    Was wondering if anyone owns one for these and if its any good. I like it because its plug and play :) I don't have much experience in room measurement. I was hoping to use this to do so. Ive been told a calibrated mic-soundcard option is better (and more expensive!). As a last note could it be...
