Buffer Tweak on all Monicas
One of the highest recommend tweak for all versions of Monica is the JFET buffer tweak. This tweak has been described on this page using 2N3819 JFETs.
Since I finally got the 2SK170s, thought it’ll be beneficial to show how it’s done to your Monica. Note that the tweak on the main site uses 2N3819 and [...]

KL International AV Show 2008 – 2nd & 3rd days
The second and third day, we were expecting the crowd and yes, there they were!
Printed out 2000 flyers and gave out the last one at almost the last few minutes of the show. And I was so close to printing just 1000 pieces.

Geez, I work so Hard to get an email into your Inbox…
On May 20, I sent out this newsletter to my err, newsletter subscribers.
Some “bright” folks don’t treat email marketing seriously and send out conspicuous emails to their customer list, like every other day.
Well, it’s alright if you have all the powerful high value information for them but even then, it’s wise to give them [...]

Oh no! I’ve been called a bastard again!
Got this mail one Sunday morning… Names omitted to protect the innocent from the tube mafia.
Hello Yeo,
Very nice horns! If only I lived closer to Malaysia…. I never had the chance to audition a Hedlund, must be like missing some form in education…

I assembled a tube amp and speakers in 20 minutes!
The best part of running diyparadise is getting to know all kinds of folks all over the world. Making friends all over the net so to speak!
