    Volume pot fix?

    I don't think these units are mass produced, either, so that might have something to do with it. The company is Rythmik Audio. I attached the literature for the amp I have. Here is a link to the original item on the wayback machine, A350-basic, in case anyone is curious.

    Volume pot fix?

    It looks like only 1 of the 3 pots are using the second gang, the crossover control. This is what I have for the pre-amp schematic. I took a better picture where the pots are soldered to the board, as well. I still have some issues to sort out on the main board before I can completely test, but...

    Volume pot fix?

    This is the best picture I could find from before I removed it. The 3 pins on the top row and the one on the left bottom row are all ground. I included a picture of the pot from before I bent the pins and soldered them to the pins in the bottom row. It seems to me what I did should work, but I'm...

    Volume pot fix?

    I have a 2 gang volume potentiometer on a subwoofer plate amp I'm working on. One gang is soldered to ground trace, I guess for extra support. The second gang is what is used. The high-point is bad on the second gang but everything checked good on the grounded gang. Is this workaround ok? My...

    Actually, I used AI quite a bit. I guess I didn't mention it. I do write code "the old fashioned way", as well, but to be honest, without AI it would have taken me forever to research how to do the ballistics. This was actually my first project that I used AI to scaffold the entire project, then...

    Latest update added the ability to import skin packages from AIMP Analog Meter. Next I want to add an easy method to "calibrate" the display, which involves checking the angles of the tick marks. The package only records the min, max and zero and not always very accurate from that site. Here is...

    I got the "skin" working. Here is a little demo. @radioactive, I might try creating an Android app when I get this where I want it. @karljansen , for right now, I would just pull my repository into a new one on your end for reference. You don't have to keep the same parent directory name, either...

    I went to the foobar2000 page that @radioactive posted and went to the collections link for the images. If you click on an image you want to use, it should take you to a post with a zip file download. The zip file has the images (.png files) for the face, needle and a needle "cap" which is just...

    I'm getting close to being able to use images instead of drawing the graphics. I found the files on that foobar2000 site that match the windows app I was trying to copy in the first place. I haven't implemented the needle yet, time to call it quits for the night, but this is what I have so far.

    Nice work! I merged your repository into mine and it built and ran with your changes right out of the box. I removed the MacOS from the Version line in the About box for mine. Are you saying the numbers are smaller on your version than on mine? Anyways, looking forward to seeing your work. If...

    Wow, that's awesome! I didn't think about it being portable to MacOS. Did you need to modify anything or did it build as is? The main thing I wonder about is PulseAudio. Is it available on Mac or did you have to write your own AudioCapture class? As for the graphics, your guess is as good as...

    Inspired by this old program for WIndows, I attempted to develop a linux version. My setup at work is I connect my laptop to a receiver and run PlexAmp to connect to my Plex server to stream my music. I can then use the PlexAmp phone app to control the app running on the laptop. I like having...

    Sony STR-DE525 center channel removal

    Thanks for the reply. I think I might spend the money and see if I can fix the center channel. A little back story on this receiver. I asked my tool salesman if he had any older non-working stereo equipment that I could practice on and he brought me 3 receivers from the 90s / early 2000s that...

    Yamaha R 500 heavy distortion both channels

    You didn't say where you got the "new" STK-2040. If it was from EBay or the like, it is almost certainly counterfeit. They were discontinued 30 years ago . That would be my first thought.

    Allison Laboratories Model 2043

    I don't know about a scam. They are certainly not the original drivers but the cabinets were probably made there. I found this CAGE code for Allison Laboratories in Marble Falls, TX from back in the 60s and 70s that provided a few audio related components.
