To DYI or not to DYI?
LOL, you mean is there a first time?. You know your skills, look over the solder joints and see if you can do them.  I had quite a few first time...I removed all the old boards on a Pass 2 pre amp. Built all the new boards, rebuilt the PS, and cha...

No one said anything about "post count", mahgister referred to post content. I agree, no need to to be that way.  Like you said they haven't even said anything... Better yet, just skip their contributions and you look past them.. I think that is t...

FM tuner fans, somebody get this!

For the most part it's all fine and dandy. BUT I've seen excessive deletions on certain occasions. It WAS NOT a software glitch, it was a moderator reaching WAY to far, plane and simple.. I don't praise folks for doing a good job. That's why they ... 
Why so obsessed with bass?
I think folks are liking the rumble through their bottoms, and THEN discovers it’s actually when the wind gets knocked out of your CHEST, is what they are looking for. NOT vibrate STUFF off tabletops in the next room. The CHEST pump/BUMP/ whatever...
