Sorry, no can do - I've got too many projects and too little time as it is. Thanks for the kind words though.

Heh, he's the lawyer that asks so... This is the last public image until more work gets done.

I was going to call the Lily The Beta22 but that just seemed weird.

I'm hoping it's been bedazzled!

I bid $1000 and was immediately outbid.

warmer...

Big thanks to all that serve!

Did this thing ever show up? Impressions? Early Xmas shoppers are curious.

Mike, would it be possible to try using your laptop instead of the mac mini just to see if the mini is part of the problem or if happens regardless of the music host?

Bingo?

Not really intentional but Justin and I seem to share a similar appreciation for the clean approach to panels/design. I also certainly take that comment as a compliment.

Fine, fine ya' bunch of angry bastards. My lawyer tells me that's all I can show you for now.

Wow, looking good! I got some panels in today as well but I can't publish them yet.

Not any more.

You need the additional gain from the balanced outputs? If so they you'll want a proper active preamp, not some wunder chip sum of the balanced outputs deal (IMO). As a start I'd take a hard look at something like the Twisted Pair Ballsie which I think would suit your needs and be of good quality. But again, I might opt for a true preamp over something like that if I were you.

See your other thread, I don't think you want to go introducing another stage to the output of you source.

Nope, you'd only get 1x (the normal) voltage output or half the balanced since the signal would be swinging referenced to ground rather than both the in phase and out of phase total swing. And rather than use adapters I'd just have a set of balanced to RCA cables built. I can think of 3 or 4 folks around here who could do that for you for a reasonable sum of $$. I don't like adapters all that much when a single cable can be used efficiently.

I'd jusk ask Brian from Twisted Pear if he'd do the swap for you if you sent him the modules.

I think Beeeleeee needs a vacation.

I've been toying with the idea of putting an input trafo on the Menace for exactly the reason Jacob bring up, also they help eliminate the potential for ground loops from your source. And Ryan, I don't see how using one half the balanced output of the Meridian is a bad thing. Sure, it'd be great to have a balalnced amp too but holy hell they get expensive for the good stuff don't they?

Size/Number of wire needed to accommodate? Voltage/Current rating? Maybe I'm not picturing what it is that you're trying to do?

Jack, one more thing, the good news is that big LCD's have come down quite a bit in price. Newegg.com - Acer X243Wbd Black 24" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 400 cd/m2 3000:1 ACM with HDCP support - LCD Monitors or if you could live with 22" you could save a lot of $$ Newegg.com - Acer V223wbmd Black 22" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 2500:1 Built in Speakers - LCD Monitors

It's either that or the power supply section for the VC is going flakey, or something like that. I'd also check the connections at both ends of the cable connected to the monitor, it may be hardwired at the monitor end which would probably eliminated it as a cause.

Hmm, that is cool. I do wish that you could just set it so that the fine adjustment level was the default setting so that it didn't take two hands to change the volume.

And twice as expensive if memory serves me correctly. Not that price is the only motivating factor, but the left earpiece of my Livewires (the one that fits correctly) can be worn comfortably for hours. I mowed the lawn with them on last weekend and they were more plenty comfortable.
