if by funner, you mean retarded....then you are correct. welcome back brett, you should make a lil thread about your italy adventures....and you should let paul out of your bag now At least the new boss is a good guy... Stu was a great guy to work with which is a lot more than I'd say about some of...

The guy that did those amps often likes to use LED's just as a voltage drop diode. He does it all the time and honestly often a lot of his led's REALLY do mean almost nothing. Sometimes even the ones that mean something just BARELY come on (and thats what they're supposed to do). IIRC the red LED's ...

Sure there is such a thing as EE in digital... I have a degree in it.. Its called Computer Hardware Engineering Technology. Then for grins I also got the Computer Software Engineering Technology one too. so that leaves me to believe your a local? Nope, bought them off some guy who was a local. I'm n...

2A should be enough for em. You don't have to be "that" close to their actual usage. If something goes wrong you'll cross a 2A or even 5A threshold right quick!

I'd bet it just a linear pot. At least I know that I'd built a couple that way off of parts on my bench and they seemed to perform about the same.

Also when/if you get one PM me and tell me if they are still using the opaque LED's or if they went to two colored ones. For the longest time they wanted to put two colored LEDs into it and I wanted something that actually matched but just illuminated the different colors. It only adds like a dollar...

Yea the SLD is actually a pretty clean and neat little design. I think that THD that you're mentioning there I took at full rated output voltage. It actually is a lil lower than that under I think 8V it was where I measured that. And the SNR was well over 100dB if I remember correctly too. I think e...

Radio shack sells DIP packages with lil gripper hands that make it easy to solder R's into. Then you can go and buy 1% R's in damn near any value and stick em in to your hearts content. Just don't be a dork with the soldering iron and it'll look good and do just fine.

Hmm... maybe there'll be a forum for Roadster66 owners. . I can't see PG getting it off the ground. It will happen around the time rsdcomps come out... How long does it really take to launch a forum when you've already got a template of one that they had in the past? And a pictures posting section ...

seriously doubt it will ever happen Being that it said it was mentioned by Leahy I think it will... I have nothing but respect for that guy! He's really got a good head on his shoulders and hes one of the only product development type guys that I've met who actually knows the product he's selling. ...

I'm sure all it will be is a place where people can post install pics and there may be a little forum at it.

Sony Vaio 40 gig. I couldnt settle with the terrible sound of the ipod. The output is much better on the Sony. Typically use the stock headphones walking to class, but I have some old Sony ones that work great and are comfortable to wear for long periods of time (cant remember the model). I was als...

There are some very nice portable headphone amplifiers. And also some really nice bags that make them even more portable. Honestly if you want to go w/ a really nice pair of headphones the amp makes a big difference. You wouldn't run deck power in your car if you had good speakers would you? Well, ...

Why do you need that much go in the bottom end for SQ? I mean yea control is good and all but thats a bit overkill. I've been treated really well w/ my 450 watts to a single 10.

trust me i am over it for many of months... and what I said did happen unfortunately... and i have no magic crystal ball, just common sense. i hope PG gets turned around, and starts getting to the core of what they used to be... accessories! :lol: just kidding, i would love to see hand made amps ag...

See I always just keep a couple grand in my Paypal account for that reason. Plus I earn like freakin 5% on any money in that account. You won't even find that on most COD's! And the paypal money market is still yet VERY liquid. You just have to watch it cause you can technically lose the money in th...

I really like the sound I get out of my Xenon it blends w/ my Ti Elite front stage perfectly.. I have it in about 2 cu ft sealed for a 10 though. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: not sure what the RSd flaws are tho. the only thing i dont love about the ...

Technically you've got a binding contract with him so yes you can make him sell them if you really want to take it that far.

Personally I love my ER4's. If you're into quality you'll love them too. If you're a bass head at all you're probably going to hate them. Make sure that you play them with a good strong source. (an iPod is ok but still somewhat weak). A good headphone amp makes the ER4's go a long way. that and a cu...

You are comparing class D amps to class AB amps, kind of apples and Oranges type situation. Too much internal storage will result in blown outputs with less than max current draw so no blown fuses untill the amp gets really cooked (personal experiance) :) :) :) If you really wanna do it take both g...

Errin mentioned in the tuning one how to set gains using the audible method. The multimeter method (which I can explain) will only allow you to figure out when you have configured your amplifier to produce "rated" power it doesn't tell you if you are wasting some headroom that you could ge...

I can just see Scot waiting outside the PG building cueing up for his son of a biatch.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that thought will make me laugh all day

Wouldn't the Biatch have to be released first?

If I know Keith he used that LED as a diode drop to get a voltage where he wanted it to be. I'm sure that it also signifies something is working but it may be a very mundane piece of the amplifier. I don't have the schematics anymore or I'd look.

Oh and the kick drum on "On the road again" if you wanna have fun w/ your sub.

Any recommendations on what to start with Brett? Boy its all pretty good but lets start off w/ Piece by piece Hindu Kush 9 million bicicles just like heaven is good too (for a remake). Closest thing to crazy was a #1 hit in England for a while too... If you listen closely you can even hear the spit...
