    Anyone have any experience with Amplifier Troubleshooting and Repair?

    Alright. Install the input board and do a continuity check to ground from every contact. I have a feeling that your signal is getting grounded out.

    Zen hype getting over the hill now

    I would like to bring up this article on Hackaday for its history lesson. It talks about the underhandedness of Intel that set in motion a lot of the struggle that AMD has faced for so long. It also brings up the Intel Compiler issue that keeps AMD CPUs from doing certain processes as fast as an...

    1968 Klipsch H700 Heresy

    I manually checked the caps and it turns out they're still good. The Crossovers were wired wrong though...apparently, the guy thought it was a good idea to wire the tweeters and squawkers directly to the input... For now, I'll leave the original caps in there with the plan to replace them...

    1968 Klipsch H700 Heresy

    I decided to test em by replacing my rear speakers on my 5.1. The caps are dried out so there was a bunch of clipping but they sounded pretty good at first. I'll probably hook em up to an automotive amp from the source. It's fun to play around with setups to see what exactly works best. They sit...

    1968 Klipsch H700 Heresy

    Actually, all of the wood on those is original, someone just chopped them down to fit in the wall space. They are the Decorator version which didn't have the finished case around them. I'll definitely be messing around with my options! From what I've seen so far, the treble is really high on...

    1968 Klipsch H700 Heresy

    I just realized after looking at the factory specs that someone took them apart and narrowed them up a little bit. That really makes them look raw.

    1968 Klipsch H700 Heresy

    I stumbled into a pair of 1968 Heresy Floorstand speakers today. They were installed in the walls of a friends house. The entire house was wired up with a stereo system which is long gone. I'm curious to see about using them for my computer. I currently have a Logitech X-530 5.1 setup and I'd...

    PC Gamers- doesn't it bother you that you dont 'own' games on Steam?

    You don't own the game itself even if you have a physical copy of it. You are still bound by the license to not try to copy or modify the game in any way. Discs have DRM and a license you agree upon when you buy it. You own the physical distribution of the media, but not the media itself.

    GTA V delayed till March now

    Next-Gen consoles are x86(AMD64) based. This means that the version they built for the PS4 and XboxOne was trivial to "port" to PC. There was no engine code changing. The reason we're behind is because they're adding in the stuff we, as PC players, expect from a huge franchise game. We never get...

    Surface Pro Noise level

    I ran Minecraft on my SP1 and was confused as to the slight whoosh sound I was hearing. I tried to find the source and lo, it was my Surface Pro. It only ever engages the fans audibly when doing something intensive. Even when it is running with full fans(very rare), it isn't loud. Hell, I had to...
