I thought I would share my Second Class A F5 amplifier using IXYS fets, the first one uses more components, the second version is very low part count. Sharing the Video of it being powered up and running ( first power up on this design ) Soon will connect my QA401 and do some measuring. Not...

My very first serious DIY speaker project was a centre speaker about two decades ago. Back then I was already aware of the fact that a horizontal center speaker usually does not have a decent off-axis response. So my center was vertical, comprising of 2x Monacor SPH-135KEP, one of the lower...

Join me as I discuss DIY amplifiers with Toid's DIY Audio, this Saturday at 10am EST. Toid's Links https://toidsdiyaudio.com/ https://www.facebook.com/123Toid/

This thread will serve as my log for iterations of this project. I am sharing it publicly for reference and constructive criticism. I am not a speaker design expert, or an audiophile guru. I'm some nerd with irregular, long bursts of free time and a rabbit hole. Building speaker kits was very...

Maybe some of you already now, there is now an updated RB Pi 4 module, that's called the Pi 400. This has an integrated keyboard and has some small performance updated compared to the Pi 4. It did lose the audiojack from the Pi 4b. Now OSA Electronics released a DAC/ADC module used specifically...

I've been designing and building my own amplifiers for years as a hobby. They all sound great. I've been meaning to go balanced since last year, finally I had some time to make a circuit but I don't understand the point at all. Please ignore the power section. In real life I'm using a center...

Hello Everyone, I have two pair of KEF q100's I got for super cheap. They sound great for my surrounds but even better when I plugged the ports. I was wondering for home theater if I could make some pretty tiny sealed boxes to be able to place these tiny things just about anywhere. Looking...

Hey all, I've been reading more and more about speaker design since I built my first set and I have an idea I'd hope to be able to execute in a few years. The 4" Tang Band midbass drivers I have on my desk are impressing the hell out of me with their low end. Tang Band clearly knows how to...

Hey all, I've been having fun with my recent DIY speakers, but I'm routinely disappointed with my hand-me-down, buzzy receiver or my distorted at high volume, no headroom desktop budget all-in-one amplifier. I like the way my buddy's JBL LSR305's are set up on the back, and as much as possible...

I'm busy changing my setup a bit. The idea is to hide most of the nasty stuff. So mostly get rid of the cables and equipment and make it look clean. The idea was to use an Ikea BESTÅ enclosure and TV mount, hang it on the wall and hide everything inside. The middle section is used to house a...

I posted this on the HTM-12v2 thread, but thought it was an interesting enough concept that people might want to do it with other speakers and thus I am posting the info here as well. I had a fun little project today and wanted to add a layer of active EQ to my HTM-12v2 and wanted to compare...

Anyone else interested in seeing ASR add raw driver reviews with measurements? ASR already has the required equipment perhaps with the exception of a IEC baffle but that's an easy afternoon build. I think such objective reviews would be of great benefit to the DIY sector of the audio community.

I started getting into DIY audio as a way to save money, pass time, learn more, and increase my daily quality of life at home during the pandemic. This was rewarding and enriching, I can't imagine I'm the only one who started for similar reasons. Who else caught the DIY bug after being stuck...

I can't do subscription services and their changing copyrights. I have a couple of decades worth of my old rips + my bandcamp purchases (the best music service aroud for someone like me) + downloads that come with physical media. And I'm not talking about music services that let you upload your...

Hi, I hope I'm allowed to post here. If not please notify me and delete my post. I've been looking around the internet for solutions but could not find anything, that's why I'm trying to find some help here. I would like to build a streamer (Qobuz) that can EQ the music and output via usb to a...

It seems like Rythmik Audio subwoofers have a good reputation on ASR. But I didn't see anything about the DIY subs from them, they call them CI series. Rythmik Audio • Servo subwoofer Products - Custom Install series Does anybody have experience with any of them? I am interested in these...

My current short IEM cable is a DIY affair incorporating these 2-pin connectors by Eidolic (a new Shenzhen hifi mfg?) to re-terminate a stock cable whose IEM-side connectors failed. Turns out the polymer surrounding the pins (called PEEK) has a really high melting point. Usually soldering...

Hi all, Does anyone have a DIY passive speaker kit recommendation for a first timer? This would be for use near-field on a desk. In my office at work, so something that sounds good at low volumes. I listen to a wide variety of music and listen to a lot of hip-hop, so a speaker with little bass...

Hello ASR people! I'm working on assembling 2.0 speakers kit + diy stereo amp. And I'm thinking if I can extend this setup to use it as a home cinema system. I want to make it wireless splitting it to from speakers and rear speakers synced between two raspberry Pi + some fancy soft like Volumio...

Firstly I'd again like to say thankyou to everyone involved with ASR for making HiFi fun again. TLDR: If I split the output from a preamp (for example with a Y-Splitter cable) do I need to worry about impedence and/or voltage level? Some may have noticed my desire to have tone controls. I...
