Aint complaining. Got it for about 20 bucks and the description was one of those "powered up fine, but no other testing done" deals, so no biggie. So I have it down to the dreaded CX7919 chip, which is basically it's analog "control" chip that handles all of the signal routing and...

Ok, here's a twist of ye ole' "what are you listening to" thread. In this one you name the song, but you also describe what listening to it makes ya wanna do.... k??? Got it?? I'll go first... Alan Parsons ~ Chomolungma Makes me wanna go outside, find a big stick and make a spear, then...

****(Mod note.. split off from the crossover topic in speaker forum)**** Well, I'll rip it at the same rate and density as the original. But during playback I have the option in my player to upsample at any rate. I also "suspect" that win7 is doing some sort of upsampling of it's own...

Ok, figured these CV's are probably old enough to consider new crossovers. I took a look inside, and quite frankly I'm not impressed with what's in there, so what the heck - let's build some crossovers eh? The original crossover points are 500hz and 3500hz. Now supposedly the two midranges...

So ok. I finally found a suitable idler for the Akai, so we now have reels a spinnin'. Now it is time to dial this guy in... This is where it gets fuzzy in my mind. The service manual calls for this here... a cal tape that puts out 315hz @ -6db. I have one from Alex (A.N.T.) that puts out...

Worked on this all day today. Made me own LED boards (I aint taking pics of them because it'll scare yas!). But here's the end result. I would like to try some greens and blues, but man... white's all they had at the rat shack.

Hoping Sam's still lurking around to see this! Anywhoo... I saw a Teac V-900X for sale, and it seemed that the owner really didn't want to part with it. So I've offered to see what I can do. Thing is - supposedly those V-900X's are scary as heck to work on. Symptom is it doesn't play (all I...

Now that I got me tools (decent soldering/desoldering station) it was time to tackle the M80 again. I had bought a few 2sk389's (dual fet I.C.'s) awhile back, but wasn't about to put them in with the old ratshack cheapo tools. The M80 I have (yeah, that's the same one with the big gonads...

Found this on ye-ole streaming site tonight. Last release from them was 2007, so it's about time. Very nice! Mellow and yet not something to put ya to sleep with. This release was also the 1st on a new label. Engineering and sound quality - top notch!

Ok, so I had to put my PIP card (aka basically a unbalanced to balanced converter) back together tonight because totally bypassing it "weren't such a good idea". Isolation transformer = gooooood, yah! So, back to the drawing board a lil' bit. Anyway, first look at the left side on the input...

Not sure what got into me, but I have this Akai GX-7 that I got awhile back. The good ole' "Worked great when I last used it" omitting he used it like .. 15 years ago trick.. Really put me off finding a good deck for awhile.. but I was messing around tonight and figured I'd give another go...

Happy Birthday, Gamve!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: I'll buy me a fosters and chug it for ya tonight... :coffee2:

How did that old song go? "You may be RIGHT... I may be CRAZY" I have something "coming"... something wicked, this way comes... I'll give y'alls a clue... or several: WPC @ 8 ohms - 540 4 ohms - 875 8 ohms, bridged - 1720 Lee - still got the PL and it does kick, but...

5.8 earthquake.. in VIRGINIA... The buildin' was a shakin... pretty cool! (I can say that now because I'm still alive heheh)

Ok, I just gotta start a thread here for what I'll call the "Har Har Har" Awards. Those are awards given to them sellers of audio equipment who are probably partakin' a bit too much on the crack pipe and want waaaaay too much for what they're offering for sale. Soo.. to start it up here...

Well, seems all that crazy heat we have been having here must have did in my nice ole factory Infinity 6 disc CD/MP3/XM changer. Damn thing won't read any more discs! And yup... even tho MOST stuff is covered 10 years/100K.. the dang radio aint... 3/36K for that! Guess I'm going to have to...

Hey.. so my house is one of those whatchamacallit styles with the upstairs having those windows that jut out from the slope of the roof, and I have a wall in front of me that goes up about 4 feet, then slants at a 45 degree angle to the ceiling above. And I'm thinking.... I'd like to put the...
