    Scratch build valve power amps

    I do like the red and black theme when done right, the Dior looks high end while being something that someone with some skill could achieve themselves. I 've never been one to work from rigid plans, I kind of see where it goes and sometimes it hits right on the spot, other, not so much. I have...

    Scratch build valve power amps

    I have always chased that premium polished product, probably why I have failed so many times. I am smitten by the idea of a completely DIY thing, the pride that is involved in it and the satisfaction that, like most audiophiles, and anyone invested in a hobby that is an endless quest for your...

    Professional looking chassis are the hardest thing to accomplish, I'm working on for my WHAMMY Headphone amp a case with polished aluminium, iroko wood and "forged" style carbon fibre plates that I have diy'd. with a dark greyish stain on the wood it should look nice if i can get it all together...

    Scratch build valve power amps

    Impressive build and great execution. I love DIY audio, something about scratch building is daunting to me though especially valve gear. I'm sure the sound will be exquisite and can't wait to see the final form.

    Need help deciding on bass focused headphones for Music/Gaming

    I figured they have been tuned different just all of the reviews i have seen of the 12's when I contemplated upgrading to them from the 01's stated characteristics I could relate to already owning the 01's, bass being one of them and yes they did state it was more impactful but still had that...

    Need help deciding on bass focused headphones for Music/Gaming

    Is the AKG stuff a good suggestion for bass focused gear? Being upfront I have never heard the 712's, I do own the Q701 which I am intimately familiar with and by all accounts they are not a million miles away form the 712's. AKG's house sound is known to be bass light or rather bass quality...

    Gamers, What's Your Audio Set Up?

    Popped in to post my set up as it's the first time it's changed in years and this is the most recent post, uncanny. I have been running a Beresford TC-7520 DAC and opamp rolled to a Lm4562NA with AKG Q701's for years and loved them, especially for their positioning with regards to the Q's...

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    So after years of having asus, netgear and the like POS networking equipment the died in and around the 2 year mark, like clockwork, and with a bill north of £500 I decided to invest in some unifi gear, they seem to get good reviews and good overall long term reliability. I picked up a USG, 8...

    Unsure of what server specs are required.

    Recently i purchased the house I have lived in for some time, as you do I started going through the process of renovating it and with it everything that protects it. This has led me to looking into smart home additions and new security installs and the process of managing it all. I have always...

    What watch do you wear?

    After digging in to the brand more than the specific model of watch I was looking at it appears QC is a big issue for them, surprising and disappointing as they have a good mix going, I didn't like the older styling all that much. I knew it was quite a young brand and based out of England but i...

    What watch do you wear?

    Just out of curiosity, what is it about the CW watches that put people off them? I understand the styling has changed, I have noticed a lot of complaints in reviews, i get that it isn't to everyone's tastes but I'm surprised to see the comparisons to fashion brand watches/cheap trend watches. I...

    What watch do you wear?

    I can see peoples points, ive been looking at a few and did take a look at both the sinn and the oris, im not overly sold on the styling of the oris though. I did get quite taken by the Damasko da42 and Fortis B42 cosmonaut. I currently wear a 41mm and that was on the small side, tried a...

    Computer genius that can’t use a computer

    Ive met doctors who struggle to look after them self's, wouldn't know how to wash there own cloths etc. When you devote so much time to being great at one thing most other tasks become a drain on your focus/time. Rings true for most things.

    eBay item number: 323517569944 Thats without the grouphead gasket, if i was buying again i would buy a silicone GH seal, the one i got wouldn't allow the PF to lock in to the 6 o'clock position, luckily the naked filter i got does lock to 6 with this gasket but by all accounts the silicone...

    Siliconslave's how to make espresso thread

    Yes, fully stripped, cracked the boiler wide open to descale properly. The elements are fixed into the body of the boiler so are not easily removed, from what i can see. Had real issues knocking the puck out of the porta when i used the pressurised basket, that has been eliminated with the...
