    Hi Mark
    I've been looking for good, solid intro stuff on 16f84's for a loooong time now - I've only just started reading your info, and it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, so I'm writing this before I even read further to thank you!
    Good stuff
    Cheers

    Nice one! I've found the sections on the pre-amp especially useful. I have a set of Hauppauge MVPs; the main one sits under the telly in the lounge serving audio and video from my Linux fileserver / DVB-T card setup in the garage.

    I've just set up an AVR-controlled LCD interfaced serially to the MVP so I can select and play audio without having to turn on the telly. But I use an old NAD3130 amp (modified with a couple of extra channels for surround) which has no remote.

    I'm not bothered about source selection, but I do need remote volume control. The MVP is rubbish in that respect - about 20dB steps it seems (!) so I want to extend the AVR LCD interface to also control analogue 4 channel audio and use it for both MVP sourced stuff and all the rest by sticking it in the pre-out power-in loop on the NAD.

    Your pre-amp project has given me exactly the analogue volume control pointers I need. Many thanks for that.

    And if you ever get around to the Monoblocks.... I could really do with some more power egor <g> for my MS914s - they're fairly efficient but need tight bass control as although they go low, they have a tendency to waffle. Bi-amping is very much on the cards.

    Anyway - sorry for the long-winded drivel, but appreciate the site. Keep it going!

    I bought my A1 back in 1988 and have used it constantly up to last year when I finally replaced it (with an Arcam).

    Because I still love it so much I couldn't bare to sell it and as it still works perfectly I've put it back in its orignal box and even found a pristine brochure and the orignial invoice of £279 that I paid back then...
