What kind of caartridge does this thing take? Is there a way you can DIY something that works?

FEAR: The Record is kind of like that

I'm going with "what is a loose solder joint" for $200, Alex

Funny that the Linn Drum and "real orchestra" are adjacent items

Kind of a weird date to make a joke on.

Tell the drummer to play without cymbals. Make the bass player go direct. The guitarist will be too loud so tell him to turn down and make sure you have a mic at the board so you can repeatedly tell him to turn down during the performance. Do not under any circumstances let the singer run effects fr...

Mouser has data sheets for most common panel mount connectors. Looks like Neutriks are a little under 24mm, which would make your 15/16" theory right on.

There's not much in the world that's better than standing in front of a good rock band with loud guitar amps. There's also not a lot that's worse than standing in front of a shitty rock band with loud amps. Live sound is a 2-way street: bands need to realize the consequences of excessive stage volum...

Funny, I was just revisiting a topic of mine from the DIY forum 2 years ago: http://messageboard.tapeop.com/viewtopic.php?t=38513 The upshot is that Jakob E had a buffered splitter he seemed to dig, and put up a link to the schematic. I'm just getting around to ordering up some parts, so I can't rea...

Haha, imagine if there was some DIY accounting forum with the mantra "do the best with the deductions you have, and above all, BE CREATIVE!"

Ok, I'm not afraid anymore! ;) But seriously, in my day job, which is software consulting, there are occasions where projects will arise that due to circumstances - perhaps beyond your control, perhaps not - you can reasonably surmise the results will not be to everyone's liking. And so you find yo...

looks like I'll need an old sound card to get the analog joystick port?

Keep those suggestions coming, no idea is too silly! I'm currently putting on aluminum trim around where the face panel meets the CPU and am also swapping the plastic CD-ROM face for an aluminum plate. I'll have new pix up at some point. Other thing I'm trying to do is put an analog knob on the fron...
