Is it just me or has the Vinyl forums exploded recently? By default I ignore it (obviously) but when I look at the unread threads, the bulk is vinyl! Makes me think of that 'Fools and money' saying  :ROFLMAO:

Yes, I know none of you thought I would ask such a question seeing as I think it's silly. But this is a legit question... I recently changed vehicles and the stock sound in today's BMW's really suck! I'm hoping to improve matters but it's important that everything looks OEM and I'm not into...

Andile gets a hard-on in 3,2,1... http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/events/sound-system/Primavera.html?utm_source=Bowers+%26+Wilkins&utm_campaign=f4678d86d9-Primavera5_7_2014-US&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_22ec1c80b7-f4678d86d9-49484613

Something that I've been messing around with for some time: It uses the same Async USB interface as on the big Vivere, but I'm using a completely different DAC and architecture. In this guise it's running the TI PCM5142 DAC and a simple first order filter straight to the analogue outs - it...

Hi guys, I need someone trustworthy in the East Rand area to come and have a look at the pool's solar heating that developed a leak. I'm told the system we have is rather specific and it was suggested it all needs to be replaced. I'm in sales, and I can spot chancer a mile away... thx!

So I sat with this dilemma - do I buy PC speakers or do I build. Buying is muuch cheaper, but I've been itching to do a speaker build for a while now and figured what the hell. There's been a lot of to'ing and fro'ing on the design of these, but I think I'm committed on a sealed setup for the...

In the US, there's a big industry parting out Apple products where one or the other item have failed and its too expensive to fix. I was wondering if such a thing might exist on a small scale here? I received an iMac mid 2007 20" and the logic board on this has been struck by lightning. I've...

So the subject of rear speaker placement was covered recently, but these were for standard bookshelf type speakers. I've got a set of Wharfie DFS18 bipolars that I've never gotten around to using, so I figured now is a good time to get them setup. I do have a seriously non-ideal room layout so...

Anyone here use locally available ultrasonic cleaners? I'm looking for something with a bath size of around 300mm by 200mm. I can get one in from China, but the shipping gets a little crazy. Also, I don't know enough about these to judge whether they good or bad. Obviously, I also don't want to...

This came across my Email this morning and I just had to share it. I've taken the liberty of adding it to Legendary threads as I've got a good feeling about this one  :BWAHAHAH: I've edited it a little to remove 'context'  ;D

As the title suggests, I'm looking for one. Anyone used heavy duty paper ones successfully?

I've been itching to get myself a set of Senn 800's for a while now and there used to be some bargains out there. Unfortunately it appears that these are discontinued and getting a set of old stock will set you back R14k. Obviously this isn't going to happen... So, I've been looking at a set of...

Schalk is using new caps in his amps - if you squint you can almost see it  ;D

Those f'ing f'ers went and broke into my home today. FFFFFFF Wife went out to pick up the kids and was away literally 2 minutes when she got the CMS call. Was back home in another 10 with the armed reaction confirming that they broke in. AAARGHH!!! F'ERS! They couldn't have been here for longer...

As some of you have noticed, I've basically been threatened with pitchforks if I don't actually make something commercially of the latest DAC that I've designed over the last year. While the original intent of the DAC has been to make something commercial out of it it was never my intention to...

Seeing as the CNC virus is rife of late, I figured I'd also build one. It's something I've been dreaming of for a long time, but the cost of doing so was always prohibitive. I finally decided to go ahead and do it, simply because the new speaker project needed some pretty accurate cuts and I...

Finally I've got the prototype discrete I/V working on the Sabre DAC that I've been messing with. I'm not going to be posting a schematic, as it may or may not end up in a commercial design that I may or may not pursue. But for those that are interested, here's what I've done: - Fully...

After listening to a set of Sonus Faber Cremona's I decided that I needed my speakers to sound like that. Obviously I wouldn't be able to get it exactly like that because their drivers are customized a little, but I should be able to come close methinks. From what I can see having looked at...

I would also like to see the mini series. I'm assuming you were let down by it?

I've had this one running for a while and have been meaning to post pics of it but never got around to it. Now that it's been sold I figured I should snap some pics, even if only for posterity's sake I love these RCA's. Just have to remember where I got them... Close up shot of the positive...
