    Recommendations: Laptop key mechanism replacement

    It is like finding a needle in a haystack they are so unique to each keyboard and it is always a battle, I will advise not to bring stuff like super glue or prestick any close to the keyboard. What you also can do is to swap the mechanism out from a key you never use like a second alt or control...

    Fostex LAb 300 Bias fault

    Ported boxes

    I used to stick with the program box size and then fill the volume up with sand or a brick or two, adds weight and damps the box a bit.

    Members' Kit pics

    Yes well spotted and it matches these speakers brilliant, I listen to them in a close monitor arrangement and they sound like a set and headphones with unbelievable sound stage and the speakers fade away in air.
