For those that geek and geek heavy LOL. I've had a lab going on here for a bit with VMWare ESXi running 24/7. Believe me when I say the thought of hosting the forum "here" did cross my mind a couple of times, but not with the power co and lines still strung up around the house. In the...

Figured it was time to start offloading all the analog stuff. Got these off of an old guy with a Nak CR-3A a good while back. I THINK there's more laying around this cave and close to 50 total. A few blank J cards here and there in the bunch. Someone make me an offer.. I'm going to say the...

Been considering this off and on over the last year, due to having more of a dayjob workload. Sooo.. I'm officially "retired" from any amp building, or other audio related work. My loss but could be your gain LOL. Here is the 8903A with a few other pretty decent pieces of test equipment...

Woohoo.. and the crowd goes wild. On the new server, report any bugs, weird going ons, and other evil biz here please LOL... Yeah, testing too.. here's a pic. Flight sim man.. awesome..

A little bit of a rant, so bear with me LOL. Just started getting a little into the gaming scene here, and hell if I didn't pick the wrong year for getting a hold of a decent video card! Nowadays you need basically a cray computer housed in a 5 x 10 or so card to run some of these titles...

Saw this in a mustang forum tonight. The guy asked "Would the motherboard be ruined if I cut off the stuff above the red line? " in a thread about a 3rd party "tesla style" radio install where the manual's likely poor english. SMH.. LOL well off ta go drive 'round RVA again. Gotta keep on the...

Hi Folks, it came to my attention that there is confusion between what is private and what is public. For Xenforo, "conversations" are private messages that are intended for just you and whoever you send them to. Profile page posts, however, are public (have been, always have been, and will...

Figured I'd offer it up here first before da bay.. Had this guy for a few years, now time to let it go. Nice EQ... makes for pretty lights at night lol.. 125.00 or best offer. Cash or PP only + shipping from zip 23139.

Well, actually "in" for repair. So we had a bit of a "problem" with a WOPL where the AC "in" actually came in contact with the chassis. Note to self - remember that series II amps have no room at the top edge of the backplane, especially when one reassembles the top cover! Anywhoo… so that...

The same guy I got the DBX unit from also had a few tapes "laying around". Did a deal for 50 of his metal formulations, and they arrived a few days ago. Had a nice "surprise" in the lot.. we'll see if the CR-3A does justice with it or not (Tony.. lol.. ). In any case, he recorded these a...

So I figured I wanted to check out tapes and taping again. I got a Nak CR-3A off of an elderly gentleman - couldn't resist because what I got out of the convo was that the deck was bought new, and from what the guy said barely used. Had to "de-goo" the capstan belt, so that was fun but dayum...

Anyone else have a question on this tracking history like I do? LOL talk about a slow boat to china.. huh?? Might just have a good working Nak CR-3A we'll have to see how well this belt does the trick.

LOL so like in Sutt's 700 build thread I alluded to playing around with an IEE-488 GPIB controlled testing platform, based on the HP8903A analyzer. Was thinking if I needed to also include the HP3455A multimeter, but I'll cross that bridge when it comes. So basically, so far what I've done is...

Got a 700 build going for none other than our long standing Ksrigg aka Sutton. This one is getting the full treatment, as we're starting with just the meters, transformer, and the typical odds n ends you'd need to save from the carcass. Speaking of the carcass, this one was .. interesting...

Took on a job to do a total "redo" on a little SC guy here - A2502 that is a MOSFET design that'll do around 125 per channel. Pretty nice build to work with. Took the amp boards themselves first, and repopulated with Muse/FG caps and ditched the carbons for metal film 1 and 2 percents. Then...

Ed or Joe, I've been messing around with HPIB enabled components - HP8903A analyzer and a HP3455A meter. I have an IEE-488 USB adapter - acts like an old fashioned COM port so it's pretty easy to use to communicate with both. What I would like to do is a routine that will inject a preamp...

So as I am sitting around waiting for the next WOPL build comin' (should be soon here I think), I got bored. Went into the other room and pulled out a dusty old shipping box that Mr. Jim had sent me this MX-800U for free back in (wait for it.. ) 2013. Much appreciated, Jim.. even over 5 years...

Happy Birthday Kevin wooohooooo!!!

No way... https://www.musicdirect.com/speakers/JBL-L100-Bookshelf-Speakers Not for that price.

Been awhile since I did a build thread, so figured we can do with a 400 one today. Starting with getting the DCP together...
