The Amp Garage

Looking through the archives, it looks like this was once Gregor Hilden's amplifier? http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/rob.livesey/dumble/Dumble%20%230094/ I pulled the photos and merged them with my copy of Rob's site photos.. It'd be great of Rob's site had content management capabilitie...

I'm still getting the malware warning when I visit using Safari, and I can't log in from there. Maybe an update on the o ethanol process could be posted? Martin, I just solved that problem. In Safari, open Preferences, choose the Security tab, and uncheck "Fraudulent sites: Warn when visiting." Tha...

My Malware Bytes software has been intercepting the same Trojan for two days now. It just keeps coming but M-B is quarantining it every time. One of these days one will get thru I think. If I buy that refurbed Dell GX-760 with Windows 7 on newegg.ca, how do I transfer the contents of my hard disk t...

What kind of driving do you do? Are you more of a base model person or do you like things fully equipped? A friend at work got a Hyundai Elantra - right in your price range. And it's nicely equipped I thought... Tesla is coming out with a Model III which is supposed to be more affordable (but over 1...

The amp settings in that photo are pretty much were I like my Low Plate Classic with the exception of were the master volume is set. I guess that is were the Dumbleator comes in. Although not having built or played around with a Dumbleator yet, how much amp volume is being reduced by the Dumbleator...

It works, and it's nice, but it makes my five year old HP run slow. Slow to the point where it acts like it locks up but if you wait a few minutes (yes, minutes) it comes back. Mostly when running either Chromium or Firefox with multiple tabs open. My identical laptop running Win7 just cruises alon...

Thanx brentm, that GX780 is indeed a good price. Unfortunately I'm in Canada, and by the time I ship a CPU that heavy across the border, about $100 I would guess, ->$229, then add 25% because the $CDN is only worth US$0.80 these days-->+57= CDN $286, then add 12% (that's right, 12%) sales tax on th...

brentm, my keyboard is a Dell SK8135. It has two USB ports. I think its main output cable is a USB at the CPU end too, but hardwired at the keyboard. My new monitor is an ACER K272HL, the cheapest 27" I could find. Got good reviews "for the price". My CPU is a very elderly Dell Optiplex GX-280 with...

Privacy is over... It is somewhat sad that my child will never know a time when there was some anonymity.. If you use a credit/debit card, carry a cell phone (smart phones are even worse), drive a car, use a browser on the internet, and a 1000 other ways, etc.... you're being tracked. Funny... I hav...

You turned it sideways when you suggested that a Mac is solution to a virus/malware problem. It's not. We haven't yet mentioned the abuse of suppliers and how many companies have been forced in bankruptcy due to Apple's rape and pillage philosophy. Giving Apple your money is giving similar to fundi...

I am in strong opposition to Apple for oh so many dollars and practices. Rolling over artists and consumers like a bulldozer. Yup. Big dollar American company that outsources all production if it's listening devices to China while hosing the artists being played on same. Blow me. C'mon now - let's ...

Thanx but I already have a CPU and a keyboard, and my wife's eyesight needs a 27" monitor screen which I just bought. So I'll look into those options. I thought Mac software only works in Mac computers, is that no longer true? Is the keyboard USB? Can you give me the model number of your new monito...

Thanx brentm. I guess I'll have to replace xp after all. Sorry to see it go, but..... Which of the newer operating sytems would you recommend? Just for e-mails and Ampgarage, basically. We still watch movies on TV! It depends... MacBook if you're not too budget minded. Windows 8 w/ free 10 upgrade ...

Wonderful. So all this marketing guff about firewalls and anti-malware software and backup external drives for security etc is just so much happy horseshit? And Microsoft is still lying to us about their newer operating systems too? But XP doesn't crash, although it has has holes in it any Russian/...

I am always amazed at how much stuff that you can search out and learn about on the net. Be it tubeamps , how to build guitars, how to build yurts, how to remove a radio from a 1999 Mazda Rx7or how to make BIGGAZZ BUBBLES , you know, for the grand kids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXsPqUFsArM I...
