So this Cymatic LP-16 16-channel backing track player came in the other week, from a loyal and "repeat" customer, with the descri...

As a follow-up to the recently posted MOTU Ultralite teardown , i had to grab this as soon as it popped up in my search results, because it ...

Even though this is the 4th or 5th of these units that has gone through my hands, looks like i never documented a teardown of one - shame on...

Long time no see, eh? Well, what can you do when the new job's kicking you in the rear end? Regardless, new patient on the table this ti...

I had fiddled with one of these a couple years back, but here's another chance to take a look inside a (1st gen) Focusrite Scarlett 2i2,...

This just came in, with the symptom description of "will no longer turn on". Fair enough, sounds like a power supply issue then. A...

As it turns out, i hadn't done (or at least documented) a teardown of this little guy, even though i've been using it for the last t...
