[quote user="elephant"]There is only one real solution ... DO IT YOURSELF [/quote] Been there, done that... As a kid, I used to live near Lahti and its LW station with a 200 kW transmitter. Some 15 km away, you could still drive a small speaker directly from a crystal receiver. Sadly, the station was closed in 1993, but the 150 m antenna towers

For now, I just skimmed over your latest posts as the last one seemed to show some success already The reason you were not seeing the frequencies you expected is that the signal coming from the tuner to the divider is not the frequency it is tuned to. It is the local oscillator frequency, which is 10.7 MHz off. In an FM tuner, it is mixed with the incoming

[quote user="jeremy112"]So there is either something wrong with the relay or the muting circuit right?[/quote] Yep. It is possible that the circuits controlling the relay or the relay winding itself might have a fault... but I've never heard it happen. It often oxidizes so that you won't get sound or the sound is distorted, but the

[quote user="koning"] I think surround sound is just very important. it would be a big mistake if they let it out. [/quote] Where does this idea come from that every B&O product should always do everything, driving up the cost? There are and will be plenty of people who will never want to install a surround system. Buyers of other brands

Good, now we know that 1 mA of drive current will be enough for the CPU input, but for some (unfathomable to me) reason the divider circuit can't supply it. If that will be the last obstacle between getting this CPU module to work or acquiring a new one, we can build a buffer stage in between. But, that will all be useless work if the signal doesn't

[quote user="Dkatz"]The higher quality of Taiwanese manufacturing compared to Chinese is exactly why the high end mechanical keyboards (among other computer components) that cost $100-200 are manufactured in Taiwan and not China and also why there are so many electronics/computer companies coming out of Taiwan and not mainland China. Quite

[quote user="riis"]Can I damage the amp by putting the two pairs of wires together?[/quote] It is supposed to have overload protection, so I don't think so. Be careful not to short the wires anyway - happens too easily if you have too many of them going into a single plug.

That's not me, but... The Cona was made to be used with the CXs, so that part of the equation is fine. The MCL2P, on the other hand, was never intended to be used with more than one pair of speakers, as you can tell from it only having a single pair of speaker connectors. It's not the most powerful amp either. Also, if you plan on using four

[quote user="hemenex"]So obviously your speakers 1 aren't working which makes much more sense... Now it's back to muting circuit or mute relay...[/quote] And another good way to permanently mute #1 outputs is to break a headphone plug in the socket... The switch in the socket can get stuck, too, or oxidize and lose contact. I vaguely

I'm sure 240V is a better choice than 220V. The TEST button is for setting the input levels. It subtracts the channels, so with a mono source you'll hear nothing when the inputs are balanced. I dunno about component placement, but I believe mine is the same. One side of the amp gets a lot warmer, and yes, I like the smell a lot more than those
