    Faster electric razor

    Years back, I had a plug-in electric razor. I used a small device between the razor plug and the wall outlet. It made the razor run faster. I believe it was called a Shaver Jet, but I find no mention of it online. I recall someone said it converted AC to DC, making the motor happier? Do...

    Looking to build a simple solution to control 12v amp trigger

    I have an amp with a 12v input trigger but I have no device with an output trigger. I have kind of been through the ringer looking for a reasonable solution and maybe this is the ticket.

    My toroids buzz

    First it was the Creek Evo 100A amplifier. I tried other outlets (with nothing plugged into the device other than AC... no speakers or sources). I tried an iFi gizmo (AC iPurifier and Groundhog +) but it made no difference. I tried an Emotiva line filter (CMX-2) and that made an immediate...

    Headphones for TV (for mom's Jeopardy)

    This is for my mother. In her nineties, her hearing is not nearly what it was. Without realizing it, she can make the TV loud enough for the neighbors to hear just to watch Jeopardy. So she has wireless headphones and that seems to be her preferred way to go. She is on her second set of...

    TV & Music ... from the same speakers?

    I have searched and searched, and I have not found a simple answer... I have a pair of passive speakers, an active subwoofer, a TV, and a Raspberry Pi. I have my eye on a class D amp that has only a pair of XLR inputs and a 12v trigger. I have sought a DAC with the following: XLR output - amp...

    CXN or Creeky Ruby 2? Streamer/Preamp/DAC for Roon & TV Optical - Please Comment & Suggest

    I would like to hear thoughts or opinions on replacing the Monitor Audio A100 that I have been using as a streamer/preamp/DAC to act as a Roon endpoint and take the TV optical audio signal. The reason for change is the device is not working (I may get it going again, but this is the third one...

    Please explain what I need to make Roon work...

    I am having trouble figuring out what I do not know about Roon… I wish to try Roon because it sounds great and I am tremendously disappointed with the alternatives I have tried for browsing and selecting music. Most of my library has been ripped from my personal CD collection (I rip each CD...
