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 ...

In an interesting turn of events, i actually did NOT get this one as faulty. It was more to relieve one of my 828mk2 's from rehearsal-p...

 Ok, this is gonna be a bit of a quickie. Basically, i got this one ridiculously cheap as well, with the intention of repairing it and gifti...

Perhaps a bit anachronistically, only *after* getting my hands on the previously-torn-down 2i4 gen2 , i also came into the possession of a 2...

For a little while now, i've been thinking of "upgrading" from my old-but-modded M-Audio Fast Track to use as an in-ear monit...

Well, this one's a "biggie" - i had been lusting after one of these for a few years now, but the price was (and technically st...

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,...

Aaaaand it's back! Not because of technical issues though. Due to chance, and the limited speed of international shipping, only the day ...

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

It took the best part of an evening and a couple hours the next day, but i managed to lift the schematic for the whole preamp board. I als...
