    Desktop Speaker Stand

    Recently I set up a pair of Minimus 7W speakers in a nearfield configuration by my computer. I am trying to find a pair of stands to provide 2" to 3" elevation so they are at about the same elevation to my ears. The closest to what I am looking are the ones made by Audioengine...

    Thanks for the response, after the unit is on for about 5 minutes the tuning meter works. Pretty peculiar!

    Amplifier Distortion, DC-Offset, and You!

    I have found the answer to my own question (or so I think) section 9 and 10 on the 2230B service manual.

    Marantz 2230B - Tuning Meter not working

    I just received the receiver which I won on eBay. However the tuning meter although lit does not move as I tune into an FM station. The strength meter moves and the STEREO light comes on. What would be the first few things I should check? I have the schematic and a multimeter. Thanks.

    Amplifier Distortion, DC-Offset, and You!

    Thanks for the answer on the 2230B being cap coupled. Is the procedure to check the dc-offset the same? Thanks again.

    Amplifier Distortion, DC-Offset, and You!

    Hi, I just received a 2230B I picked up from eBay. I checked it and I am getting 0.2 mV and 1.2 mV, however I do not know if this is one of those amps that are cap coupled and thus the dc offset is measured differently. Thanks for your help.

    2string1 thanks for the pictures, how many batteries are inside the box and of what rating. I assume you would include the cables that are connected to the back, right? Thanks again.

    New Cans break-in?

    Tom, the topic of "burn in" is a very heated matter in some circles. As you can imagine there are two groups those who believe burn in is real and those who do not. I am in the first group and my experience with cans has varied from under 100 hours needed to way more. Usually I use a radio and...

    Hard Drive options & opinions for Mac

    I have been streaming from the internal 1 TB HD in my iMac for about a year. I use an AirPort Extreme to either an Apple TV2, a Touch, or Squeezebox Classic V3. When using the AirPort Extreme I believe you are limited to 16/44 with the Apple TV2 not sure with the Logitech Touch or the Classic...

    Had a pair a while back, in some systems they are nice. Personally there are some other cans which I prefer like the Denon's. Regardless hope you enjoy them.

    Split dac between to receivers?

    I have done it with great success, however I did not do an extensive side by side comparison. I just listened for a few minutes with and without the splitters in place and could not hear a difference. Good luck.

    Using a line stage (preamp) for a headphone amp - Anyone done this?

    I use the line stage of aMonarchy Audio NM24 to drive the over 120 ohm headphones I have. I had an RCA to 1/4 female jack cable made for this purpose.

    Noise canceling ear buds recommendation

    Eric, I believe that when you wrote "ear buds" you really meant IEM's (in ear monitors). I say this because ear buds in general sit in the "ear pocket" and allow a lot of the sounds from outside to come in. On the other hand IEM's block the ear canal and thus reduce outside noise by 20-35 dB's...

    Bit perfect output from a Mac

    If you use a MAC the output via optical or usb is bit perfect when using iTunes. If you use a PC you would have to bypass the kmixer to get bitperfect. There are a few write ups in computer audiophile on this subject. There are a few aftermarket software packages like Amarra that also put out...

    USB --> S/PDIF --> Recs?

    Try all the inputs and see for your self! If you have an electrically noisy computer using the optical out will decouple it from your PC and would yield better results. Good luck.
