| New Project RS2T transport @robshaw The unit I had built is 20V 3A. That was the main reason it took so long to receive mine. Keetawakee had to wait for the core parts for the transformer. As far as the diameter of the DC plug, I'm not sure since Keetawakee was very fami... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @robshaw I'm sorry but I can't offer any additional help on this subject. I know Charles has a great system along with the knowledge to make solid decisions. When he mentioned his respected friend auditioned a few quality candidates and Charles... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @robshaw That is the cord from the power supply to the Project, correct? Yes the power supply to the RS2-T cable. The supplied cable I now have buried so I'm not exactly sure of its length. However, it's pretty long. If you sure of position... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @charles1dad "The Nikola II has an upgraded larger transformer, heavier gauge wire and better quality Mundorf capacitors. " Yes, looks like quality parts probably throughout. I was impressed to see a Furutech IEC as well. | |
| New Project RS2T transport @robshaw @charles1dad I believe Robshaw and I are out of the woods in the area of reliability for the foreseeable future. Hopefully this is due to Pro-Ject addressing the issues and not the case of the squeaky wheel. My RS2-T and Nikola II impr... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @charles1dad I contemplated discussing with Keetakawee a possible upgrade to the umbilical, but let go of the idea because of all the delays and no mention on the website. Did you initially use the stock cord for a good period of time prior to ... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @charles1dad I received the Nikola last Wednesday, and the RS2-T this past Saturday. Both arrived in excellent condition and are functioning as intended. But do I hate break-in time. I intensified the process by retreating connections with Ma... | |
| Brown Electronic Laboratory amplifer 1001 MV Tom at Brooks Berdan retired. I don't believe they offer amp repairs anymore. | |
| Brown Electronic Laboratory amplifer 1001 MV There are some schematics on D.I.Y. forum that would be useful for most techs. The BEL is not a familiar design to most. I would want the whole amp rightfully looked over. It's just too strange with those jacks. | |
| Brown Electronic Laboratory amplifer 1001 MV You are right that it's a great solid state amp. If it's a MK V then you are extremely lucky. I think @oddiofyl is on to something. Find a good tech to change the jacks and verify the unit is otherwise hunky-dory. | |
| Brown Electronic Laboratory amplifer 1001 MV The cables you're having issues with you've used before I'm assuming. I'm curious to know what are the cables that will not fit. The problem is the pins have too much diameter not a length issue? | |
| Brown Electronic Laboratory amplifer 1001 MV @kenema Sorry but I'm an old tech challenged guy, so I am no help about posting pictures. You say you were gifted the BEL. Any chance to have a conversation about it with the donor? | |
| Brown Electronic Laboratory amplifer 1001 MV I have an early version BEL 1001. Never had any issue with a variety of RCA's. Are the male pins too large? Could you describe why a standard RCA will not connect and what you see upon examination? | |
| New Project RS2T transport My Nikola II has shipped and is projected to arrive on Friday. Also, Sumiko messaged me yesterday that my replacement RS2-T is tested and ready to do the exchange. I guess the old adage "when it rains it pours" applies here. Hopefully all goes... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @robshaw The reason Charles and I chose the same LPS is simply the fact I have a lot of respect for Charles 1 Dad's knowledge and audiophile connections for evaluation purposes. In other words I've ridden his coattails! I ordered the LPS on Ju... |
