80 watts of tube goodness, and you can refinish the cabinet as well. Yeeesss. The cabinet is actually beautiful right now! The thing just looks as if it would sound cheap. But it doesn't. Good stuff. Today I picked up a Pioneer PL-518 turntable with an Audiotechnica AT120E cartridge. Time for some …

So I just acquired a Sears Silvertone 3026 receiver/amplifier unit and accompanying speakers for $40. This thing is an absolute humongous beast. And it sounds way better than it looks. Just thought I'd throw this out there.

What if I built my own tube amplifier? Any thoughts? I don't even know what circuit I would use. The thought just occurred to me the other day. Has anyone else done this?

As far as PIII gaming laptops go, this is a pretty good score! The SB and WSS-compatible sound card is a HUGE win. Most PIII era laptops don't have this. The Neomagic card isn't the worst thing in the world. For a laptop, it's pretty good. This thing will do awesome with all DOS games and pretty …

WINE is a compatibility layer which translates API calls in real time. Win3mu appears to be something of a hybrid between an actual emulator (for example, Win3.1 running in DOSBox), and something like WINE. The website says it emulates a 286, but also translates API calls to modern Windows so who …

So the other day I decided to finally upgrade my hijacked-cassette-player amplifier (hadn't before, due to pure laziness. Yes I know, that was a really crappy setup to be using.) I happened to have two old receiver units lying around. One Yamaha CR-640 from the 80's (solid state), and one Pioneer SM …

I remember when we had 0.63, 0.65, etc for the longest time and I was perfectly happy. But the question is legitimate anyway, what's the point of having a versioning system at all if we just tell people to download the latest stable SVN? I'd say with all the changes/improvements in the SVN we should …

Keen scrolling problems are almost always due to slight incompatibilities with how your VGA/SVGA card does EGA modes. This only happens with Keens 4,5,6 and games that use the same engine. It doesn't happen with Keens 1,2,3, Keen Dreams, and mods which use the Keen Dreams source code. EDIT: K1n9_ …
