    Design this - L/R channel combiner, but with isolation on the inputs

    Here's something I'm thinking about. Basically I'd like to fire up the Polk monitor 70's I have (until now) been using for shelf space. But obviously they can't quite do it on the low end. I have an old Frankensteined JBL 12" subwoofer tho, and thinking I would use one of my NAD 2400PE's...

    Pulled off the shelf - Adcom GTP-500 pre

    This pre's kind of growing on me. Seems a good match with the M-80 with very clean sounding tunes.. hmmm.. Although it didn't have enough "tonal control" that I'm used to (ey.. I like 'em bass n treble controls), so got the BSR EQ-3000 back inline. Just a lil bump from the EQ and it all...

    Maintenance going on tonight 11pm

    Going to see about converting the attachments from database to file storage. Helps in the overall performance. They may disappear then reappear, or the forum on a whole may be a bit "slow", so bear with me.

    Look! It's me ole 'puter!

    Seriously... this is the computer that drove the automated test station I used to work on! http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-VARIAN-DATA-MACHINES-620-L-100-COMPUTER-/220737926675 What's real funny is there are actually 14 offers on it.. hmmmm...

    Jeeze - the "unfallible" atomic clock that wasn't!

    Well at work today we had one HECK of a problem. The "domain" (where all the user accounts and whatnot are stored) is actually split into two separate domains (divisions). Both divisions "trust" each other i.e. if your user account is on one division/domain, the other domain still knows "who...

    Preamp levels versus Amp input attenuation

    As one thing to broaden my audio knowledge, I think this is a great question to pose. As a general rule, how should the amp's input attenuators be set in respect to the incoming signal level from the preamp? I would imagine there are quite a few factors to consider like S/N of amp versus S/N...

    They just don't make keyboards like they used to (thank goodness!)

    I have to say I'm impressed with the Logitech keyboard I got awhile back. Got it as part of a wireless combo. Spilled a good 1/4 cup of coffee (with sugar, no doubt) right in it. Thought that would have been "it" for the keyboard, but NO. Not at all! The engineers at Logitech did their...

    Jer's PLWO to be... (Jer vs the 700, Round 2... it's "Personal" this time)

    First off, gotta give the props to the master sniper and overall GREAT guy here, Lee. I turned him on to this one and said I'd do another attempt at a PLWO if he sniped 'er, so here it is... The ad said it didn't work, which it doesn't. The seller obtained it with the power cord cut, so...

    Jer's new digital rig

    Howdy all, So at "work", they were going to actually toss this Dell server. Although I needed it like I needed a hole in the head, I figured I couldn't let it go to the landfill so it came home with me. Put the old M-Audio in it...(that's what the 4 RCA's are hooked to) Then with a lil...

    More horizon broadening... macs!

    Oh man... so now I'm checking out the "dark side" of computers... macs. I have to, as I'm now getting into development for mobile devices such as iPhones.. iPads.. Droids, etc.. Seems on the iPad/iPhone side getting a mac is a prereq to getting all the development tools together to write for...

    No longer a heretic / someone stop me...

    Ok.. I'll put me foot in me mouth here. Wouldn't be the first time, eh? :glasses1: Sooo.. with the Grado Black, I think my eyes have been opened. I put on Heartbeat City by The Cars tonight, and out of my very meager collection that had to be the best sounding one yet. So good, that I hit...

    I gotta pair

    Yeah.. even a pair of NAD's, if you can believe it. Hehe The 2nd amp was something I couldn't pass up. Seller said it only worked in one channel but the pic of the back was showing it in bridge mode. So I figured 50/50 chance, eh? Either I was going to get a great deal or the seller had it...
