    Dragster DA702s on eBay this is the best $80 you will ever spend on an amp, I promise. I got one for $65 best offer, thinking of picking up another. http://www.ebay.com/itm/220986650810?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

      Unfortunately not, you will have to do some multilingual searching. I think the x-over is just regular hi/low pass 50-500Hz. I wouldn't recommend using the built-in x-over on any amp they are noisy and shitty for the most part.

    If I had any sort of connections within the government I'd have db-r raided. Whoever runs that place is a prick.

      He definitely acts like a douche because he can, he admits that much. Pretty much always willing to tell you that he is the best and if you go somewhere else it will be a hack-job because they aren't him.

      a Zapco Ref 1000.4 (grey one) and an Alpine 1505. The Zap was treated to a new preamp IC for channels 1+2 and the Alpine got some new RCA jacks.

    I think maybe the amateur radio crowd holds a close 2nd to us audio nuts for the title of "craziest hobbyists"

      Someone should make an SPL rig that can also compete with the radio guys...

      Whenever I have no music I take my iPhone and clamp it in my headrest behind my ear and listen to my music that way LOL.

      8ight

      Absolutely Bigsix! I hope they can fix you up. I wasn't worried about them working on my stuff after talking to Henry and seeing how knowledgeable he is. Every time I am in there I learn something new from him.

      Raptorman I have a Galaxy S3 so the speaker is on the back of the phone. My phone has been living face down on the dash :)

    Learned me something today: old resistors sound better than new ones. After a long time, resistors finish their aging process meaning their parameters no longer change. This leads to a cleaner sound, surely something a lot of "old school" equipment benefits from since almost all electronics contain resistors. Some new high-end equipment is made with resistors "aged" in an oven creating the effect of hundreds of years of use!

    I love the sound of Motorola transistors

    1. White Lightning

      White Lightning

      you need linear power amps then

      The sound of Moto TO-3s is on another level, for now my FETs are tiny and square :(

  17. 8ight

    Wrapping up my bit on amplifiers today, then it is time to get working on "8ight's Slopey Sinewaves: a quick reference for understanding audio signals!"

  18. 8ight

    It is now day three with no shipping invoice and no service from the guy on feebay I ordered some stuff from, I asked that my order be cancelled because had it been sent on time with the free ground post it would be here the same day as the expensive airmail I've been trying to pay for. Fuck that.

  19. 8ight

    Working on a big piece about amps (guts in specific) to post to the site, stay tuned

      About to post my part 1 draft :)

  20. 8ight

    Going to school in a couple months and I still have to get back to the gym first, quit all three of my jobs, and fill out at least five more extremely long applications... Back to work.

  21. 8ight

    It doesn't need to be expensive it just needs to be good. Usually those conditions aren't in agreement but once you learn what good is, of course, the rules don't apply.

  22. 8ight

    Some extremely nice RCAs for the money on eBay right now http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=canare+f-09&_sacat=0&_from=R40 just ordered a set for my new build

      Those look really nice, and prices aren't bad either

      There is really nothing wrong with these interconnects

  23. 8ight

    Different amps sound different. Period!

      You're spoiled by your Zapco :)

      Guilty, so guilty. Unfortunately my 4ch is in the shop with a cooked preamp IC

  24. 8ight

    My 4ch amp is in for internal gain matching. Why do people feel the need to goof with those internal pots? ugh
