Furman Elite 15 PFi - how to tell if everything is working
I don’t think Furman is actually using the term "power factor" in any kind of the usual industrial sense of power factor correction. Their naming refers more to power headroom or extra power draw capacity, so a normal check of the actual power fac...

Items for sale here and on ebay without remotes....
I, on the other hand, am always very suspicious of people selling remotes without the associated equipment.  Talk about your petty theft.  But seriously, sometimes remotes just crap out. I've had a couple of remotes that had a button or two stop f... 
Have any of you ever replaced Magnepan 1.7 or 1.6 tweeters?
Thanks Addyson815, Kjweisner, and everybody else.I was thinking that the tweeters were separate, like the 3.6 and 3.7 tweeters, and that if the tweeters were not repairable I could get them off and replace them. Not so.I got a return phone call f...
