Well-well-well, how's this for a "blast from the past"? I hadn't come into possession of one of these even close to when t...

Slight side-note to begin with - just a couple days before this write-up, this blog has reached no less than 500.000 views. That's half...

It's only been a bit over a year since the last post, but on the other hand, this one's been on the back burner for... oh, "jus...

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...

I was considering making the previous post about the repair as well, but once the teardown part of it was done, i decided it had gotten lon...

[[[ Repair can be found here ]]] This came up on eBay the other week as faulty - inputs 1/2 and outputs 1/2 seemingly dead. First instinc...

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...
