Probably not the iPads fault. The advice is always the same with the small digital mixers. Use an external router. I have had the problem with Soundcraft and Behringer mixers and have no reason to think that the M18 has a better router built in. I bought a simple TP Link 2.4 GHz router and it works fine and it works fine With my sound craft UI 16

Thanks for correcting me, I was a bit right. Incidentally it is common knowledge the Keith Richards has self medicated for several decades. I would repeat my warning about NSADs as my mum over-used Asprin and lost half her stomach in an emergency operation because of it. I use Pyroxicam on my fingers sometimes before I play and Voltarol ( Diclofenac ) gel if it’s really bad. However I don’t really suffer that badly and would agree that playing helps. If it starts early enough before a gig I just take Ibruprofen. I should stress though that although the episodes are becoming closer together, it is more than manageable for me. I had the op on my big toe about 10 years ago and I could barely walk before so I do know what chronic pain is.

Again I am not a Dr but in my experience Diclafenac is better that Ibuprofen but has that same issues. It is also an NSAD (as is asprin) and all have the side effect that if used unwisely to cause stomach bleeds and aggravate ulcers. You should take after meals on a full stomach to stop the tablet lying on the stomach wall. As for dosage. my daughter is a Nurse Practitioner. She tells me that the normal Ibuprufen tablets are 200mg and a normal dose is 400mg. However this is an average for adults and if you are on the larger side, you may need to got to 600mg. I have not heard of anyone taking more than that but I am not a Dr. A

That looks like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis does not cause the joints to swell like that normally.

I had that and had it operated on about 8 years ago. It takes a while to heal but I have hardly had any pain since, despite the surgeon saying he was operating for mobility not pain

What sort of size, weight and price are you looking at?

I cannot tell a lie, I am not Paul Page, Rue Paul or Jimmy Page. I apologise to the OP for my comment and the less than helpful comments that have resulted.

Mat-sush-ta If you had had to explain as many times as I have that there is no effing sheet in there only a mat. That is what the big M is on many components.

Of course working for Panasonic. te capacitors all had the big old M on them that meant they came from Matsushita Factories. For those that don't know Matsushita (pronounce Mat-Sush-Ta) was the Japanese name for National and Panasonic. Our only unreliable SMPSPSU on plasma displays was caused by an out of spec batch of semiconductors from another supplier.

You won't buy better cables.

I cannot see any reference to the drugs supplied to make you believe that a cable costing just south of grand will improve your sound. This is utter rowlocks.

That is crazy, pots can be replaced easily. They can be cleaned but sometimes this is a temporary measure.

It depends on whether they are properly specified. Many Chinese clones or copies of evaluation boards cut costs by using component brands that "overspecify". Companies like ICEPower do not scrimp on the components and that is why the DIY Audio forums are full of people whose module has blown shortly after powering up, There is no reason why a properly designed and manufactured Class D amp should be unreliable. TVs have been running with SMPS for around 20 years and with Class D amps (albeit lower powered) for almost as long. For example 65" plasma displays/TVs had 700-800W switch mode power supplies and were/are extremely reliable. Mine was 15 years old and working fine but I left it on the wall when I moved as it was too big for my new place. Incidentally I was Technical Manager for large screen displays at Panasonic Europe before I retired so I had access to reliability data.

As they say in the press, never let the truth get in the way of a good story. I have investigated and you can make up your own minds. As an example, the ICEPower 250ASX2 power module is £299.88 from Profusion in the UK. That is the power module in the Aguilar TH500 among many others. To replace the Mains transformer and power valves in an Ampeg SVT is £456 from Surrey Amps. An SVT output transformer is £297.46 from the Tube Amp Doctor in the USA (I could not find UK stock). To replace the 6 output vales/tubes (SOVTEK) alone on an SVT is £240 from Watford Valves.

Cold is the US terminology, in the UK it is called a dry joint. They can be caused by a number of things, including a soldering iron not having enough power to bring the solder and the parts to be soldered up to the correct melting point for the solder. However they are also caused by corrosion or grease on one of the parts to be soldered.

It is a compliment in a way that the cosmetic design of the Streamliner was such a huge influence on the Bugera M1001.

https://www.talkbass.com/wiki/pw3b-lpf-open-source-onboard-preamp/ @Passinwind will probably reply shortly but I know the history of this design. It was originally designed as an onboard pre-amp. The full details of that design is available on "The Other Place" and as I understand it, the latest iteration is designed as either an onboard or stomp box format. As for power consumption, I know that this was a major consideration in the choice of components and I believe that this version is designed for either 9V or 18V operation Thde original can be seen here. https://www.talkbass.com/wiki/pw3b-lpf-open-source-onboard-preamp/

That's fair enough if you are told the limitations of a piece of equipment. I know that wehn I am tired after a gig though, even the lightest item hits a doorframe or the edge of the boot of the car.

I did not have much of a chance to do much today but I did a bit. If you look at the picture above, The left hand module in new and untested and the right hand one has lost all the screws that hold the mains cables. So the first thing I did was to replace the mains input socket on the RH module. All easy I thought. No chance. The pins were too big so I had to drill out the holes. I was not sure whether the holes were plated through. So I had to malt sure the solder went right through. We will know tomorrow when I test it. I did test the other, newer module after rejigging and testing the mains wiring, Wiring was fine and the module worked fine. The new 4.8mm Faston connectors finally arrived this afternoon and I will start using them tomorrow.

And of course you have the choice.

I was reading the information, sent out by ICEPower recently, about their new 2000W modules and these points jumped out at me. To meet EMC/RFI requirements for even a medium sized MI company would be prohibitive. The cost a new ICEPOwer module does not come close costs close to a set of atV alves/Tubes in a big Ampeg* head. Yet no one seems to worry about replacing valves regularly. *£376 for full set of valves/tubes for an SVT at Watford Valves or more than half the price of a Mesa Boogie Subway D-800 currently in Europe.

Would it be worthwhile clamping the neck for longer so the the wood itself straightens? It seems a lot to ask the truss rod to take all the strain as in the video. I have straighend a neck like this but with tension off the truss rod and I left it clamped for a week or so. \The truss rod then only had to correct the string tension.

I put Di Marzios in mine, the jazz pup still retains that jazz bridge tone but is noiseless at its a humbucker. However I almost never use it. Incidentally the P pup is precisely 1/4" forward of the traditional P position.

Don't get me wrong, I was not criticizing ICEPower per se. I understand the problem as I had a design stolen for a headphone system for passengers stolen by a flag carrying airline. One that IS in a country that does supposedly operate IP properly. I suppose we should realise that the ICEPower modules do reduce development costs and time to market and the price we pay is lower initially but that component level repair is not possible.

I should add that the ICEPower modules, used by many are also impossible to get schematics for. I have repaired one before but they are difficult. Wharfedale on the other had join the list of those willing to supply service information.
