Mine seems to have given up the ghost.

Is it worth repairing?

Eros Phono / Re: Loss of R channel post Sowter 1990 SUT
« Last post by Brooklynbottle on Today at 05:03:33 AM »
Thanks. I'll double check and post a photo if things don't improve.
That solder job was a bit messy w/ the multi strand Sowter wire.
Appreciate the insight!

I think I would check for a solder bridge between the center post and the shell of the input connector. Posting pictures can be helpful.

Eros Phono / Loss of R channel post Sowter 1990 SUT
« Last post by Brooklynbottle on Yesterday at 05:59:49 PM »
Not being one to leave well enough alone, I've managed to loose my R channel post SUT installation. I'm using the Sowter 1990 w/ a Hanah SL cart.
I double checked function w/ the original MM cart (which worked fine prior to my "improvement").
If I crank the volume on my amp, I get the expected hum in both channels.
No signal from the right channel of the phono w/ either cart.
Switched e86's, no dice.
I carefully followed the directions for Sowter installation as posted.
Left channel sounds great.
I'm in uncharted territory here as far as diagnostics go.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Mark your calendar for our demo session with the Pipette and Subette speakers on Saturday June 15th at noon at our studio. I'll also have cool stuff for sale as I continue to reduce the accumulation of gear and software in preparation for our move at the end of summer.

BeePre / Re: Resistance Check on 52
« Last post by Emoreigns on Yesterday at 07:38:28 AM »
Does this tell you anything Paul? These values seem to be correct, and double checking it looks like I've got all the resistors in the right spots. I just cant figure out why my resistance readings are so off...

Sublime Subwwofer Amplifier kit / Shielded twisted pair cable
« Last post by benzxc on May 14, 2024, 05:57:06 AM »
I was wondering where I can get some more of the shielded twisted pair cable (and the other solid core wires for that matter). I cut some the wrong length and did a poor job of stripping the outer jacket off the shielded one.

BeePre2 is about 11.5"Dx17.5"Wx9" H. Allow an inch or two clearance above that for air flow.
