We Have Stopped Carrying the Jordan Line
We have stopped distributing the Jordan line. No thanks to our supplier Mark Audio.
Other than the fact that these are very nice drivers, the main reason for taking up the Jordan line is that, as fans of full range drivers, we are all indebted to Mr Ted Jordan for his contribution in this field. No [...]

Monica3 review on the Net
The first review of Monica3 by a hifi rag. Actually, it’s a daily -The Star- with a fortnightly hifi section.
Pay note to the reviewer’s comment :
Hooking up Monica 3 immediately after her predecessor is like meeting the more gorgeous and enchanting sister of the girl you’ve been dating (and you could kick yourself for [...]

Looking back at 2007 and holiday greetings
Hi Folks!
Time surely flies! And now it’s almost time to say goodbye to 2007 and welcome 2008.
For diyparadise, this has been another year of growth. So far, we have been growing at a pretty good rate for the past 5 years (we started in 2002). Best year so far – this year! Though hopefully next [...]

Return of the King! (or Queen…)
Hey!
As you can see, we have been busy. In fact, VERY BUSY.
On June 1st, we launched our USB Monica which has been very well received.
Today, we are launching our new Charlize. Charlize 2!
Yeah, she’s now back to reclaim her throne as the King of T-amps again.
You got to read her page for the [...]

USB Monica DAC
Here’s the low awaited USB Monica.
Of course, shown above is the Plug and Play solution. The PCB solution is available too. Just check out the e-store.
Now the USB Monica is not like any of those commercial offerings out there.
First the DAC chip uses EIAJ, not I2S format. Why this this a big deal? Well, all [...]

Introducing Sophia!
Hee hee. Most folks have problem believing such a small box is capable of down to 60Hz output. Actually bass starts to roll off at 80Hz and 60Hz is only discernible, but hey, it still managed to go down that low!
Measuring just H 11.5″, W 7″ and D 9″, this is roughly the size of [...]

New Contact Form
Everyone knows spammers are the bane of the Internet. They are everywhere, obnoxious and just wouldn’t go away.
One of the things I regretted doing my website the old way is that, I included my email address at the bottom of every page. Now that I have so many pages, removing them isn’t trivial and, my [...]

The show goes on in the semicond world…
You would think that we’ll have to retire Charlize after Tripath announced its bankuptcy. I don’t blame you. Judging by the emails I’m getting, many seem to think so.
Fortunately the semiconductor industry is a bit more interesting than that. Life just doesn’t come to a halt like this.
You see, in a normal product life cycle [...]

Tripath has filed for Bankruptcy
So, it’s finally confirmed. We have been reading news about this for months and judging by the reluctance (or refusal) of Tripath’s distributor to supply us certain Tripath chips, it appears that something was definitely amiss.
As you may know, the semiconductor industry is heavy on investment and low on return. A Big semicond player I [...]

Maggie with multiple inputs
At time of writing, the Internet connection is sooooooo slow. The recent earthquake in Taiwan took out some undersea communication cables, so all routing that goes through these cables are severely affected. My site included.
(And usually at times like these, we have a lot to blog!)
Anyway, pleased to announce that Audiohobbyist is now [...]
