Meitner Ma1 Not Powering Up
Opened it up - the fuse was toast.  The fuse is a T2AL250V - there were none of these available anywhere locally, so I got a T2A250V - roached both in beautiful arc flashes. I've ordered the specific fuse type and expect delivery on Monday.   H...

Gonna open her up this evening - hoping that the fuse is the issue 🤞  
Meitner Ma1 Not Powering Up
I wish there was a fuse on the back of the unit like so many other products, as I would have already done this...if I could find a service manual to know if there even is a fuse inside that'd be nice 🤷‍♂️  
String Together MIT XLRs?
Thanks @erik_squires!  I've got a 3 meter set of older Mogamis that I'm gonna put on my MI330s to give it a shot and see if I like the configuration.  I've also got a question into MIT about what effect they believe stringing cables together might... 
Torus RM60 BAL vs Richard Gray Powerhouse
Mzkmxcv: my homeowners insurance covers my electronics, so I'm not really concerned with that end of things.Stereo5: I've considered the PS Audio products in the past...the PS 5 and PS 10 look promising for a front end application. 
Torus RM60 BAL vs Richard Gray Powerhouse
Mzkmxcv,It isn't that it is SOOOO bad (though I do get mini surges that make my lights flicker and such) additionally, and particularly in the summer my 120v is often more like 105-110v with neighborhood demand.Like many crazies in this hobby, I'm... 
Torus RM60 BAL vs Richard Gray Powerhouse
I like the idea of the separate breakers on the Torus unit, but it doesn't appear as though these are insulated from each other inside the unit.  I also really like the size of the Richard Gray unit as it would appear as though it is REALLY over b... 
Step Down Transformers?!
Yes, yes, and yes!I am indeed building a theater...I pulled the other two dedicated 20 amp circuits for subwoofers (stereo subs, each on their own).  My idea was/is to use the stepdown/isolation transformer for processing and main amplifiers.I was... 
Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible???
I recently got my hands on a Scheu demo with an Ortofon Super MM 40 and Rega arm for well under your $2000 price...truly a work of art! I had never used a Scheu table before, but the performance seems to be that of tables costing quite a bit more.... 
Phonostages with Adjustable Curves, the Concise List
Any others that people should be aware of?Thanks everyone for your input! 
Phonostages with Adjustable Curves, the Concise List
Yes, @phomchick...I found that particular thread however there was little mention of devices that fit the bill...was hoping to get some more concise examples of equipment that would perform under these circumstances. 
Phonostages with Adjustable Curves, the Concise List
I am indeed asking about photostages/preamps that offer different curves than RIAA.  I have some European pressings from some of the great orchestras and conductors of the 20th century that frankly sound awful with a standard RIAA curve...no bass,...

Gold Note PH-10 
Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage?
I will be looking forward to your impressions of the PH10.  I have had this on my radar since purchasing my Scheu a month ago...I've got some older recording and European pressings that could benefit from some of the other EQ curves this unit can ...
