The capacitor problem is common with the Delta 1010. You need to send it to M-Audio. When you bought yours (1999), the Delta 1010s came with a lifetime warranty. Find your original proof of purchase info. M-Audio is good about fixing this problem under warranty (I've had to have them do it...

A $5000 Martin is not a good choice for a first-try re-fret. A $100 Kramer is an excellent choice. Don't be afraid to mess with it. What's the worst that could happen? Here's what you'll need; it's all available from Stewart Macdonald. (1) The book "Fret Work Step by Step." ($25) (2)...

Four years ago, I bought a Delta 1010. It worked great until yesterday, when it developed a "humming" problem. A quick search on this forum reveals that it's probably some burnt-out capacitors due to a heat-related design issue. At first I suspected I might be stuck paying for the fix...

Ted, I'm sorry you got ripped off, and I'm sorry that you took my post as smug. It was not intended that way, and I don't believe it was that way, but I appreciate that you must be frustrated over this whole mess and that colors the way you perceive my post. (FWIW, I think you grossly...

Please don't take this as presumptuous, but this may be a good time for all of us to remind ourselves how to do business safely on the internet. Let's begin by reviewing a few facts. First fact: 95% of the people who offer to do business with you over the internet are trying to steal your...

You might try running a utility called "memtest," which is freeware. You need to install it on a CD or floppy and reboot to the CD or floppy. It will test your memory. It should be able to run for a few hours with no errors; if not, hyou have a bad memory stick.

The "poor man's copyright" may not be a substitute for full registration, but that does not mean that it is useless. In copyright disputes, one of the core issues is often who created the song first. Being able to point to reliably dated evidence can be important in such a dispute. Postage...

When did they stop selling the 001? I thought I saw it available at the big retail stores like GC last summer, maybe even after that. I think a decent company should support its hardware until it is truly outdated. And outdated does NOT mean "I stopped selling it recently and would like...

Walter, The Room Simulator in Samp 6.0 is a completely different beast than the RoomSim in 7.0. My memory is that in 6.0, what they call a "Room Simulator" is basically a picture of a soundstage. You select from a list of preset rooms and click on where you want the sound to come from in...

I second the Samplitude idea. The current version (7.0) is either US$550 for the "classic" version or $1100 for the "professional" version. The sound quality on each is the same, but the professional version gives you extra room to play (999 tracks instead of 64, 64 submix/aux buses rather...

Only cat tip I know: Get good microwave.

Thanks for the response. I certainly agree that merging the two outputs will limit the signal. But the way I read the article, the potential damage is to the low impedance outputs, not the high impedance input. That would make sense in a situation where you are talking about two powered...

I don't understand the blowing up the amp theory. Two signals in parallel would not produce more voltage or current on the merged line than using one signal to start with.
