    Manley Absolute Loaner Program

    Variable Feedback Control (FB) MIN 0dB = FULLY CW (loudest) MAX 10dB = FULLY CCW (10 db less loud) If you set your FB control at 12:00 O'clock (total amount of FB is around 5dB), if you set it to 3:00 O'clock (clockwise) you are decreasing the amount of feedback (around 2 db) hence gets louder...

    Manley Absolute Loaner Program

    I was confused about the FB control thinking turning it all the way CW was at 10DB of feedback. EveAnn Manley can correct me if I'm wrong but i think it's the opposite of what everyone thinks. Variable Feedback Control (FB) MIN 0dB =FULLY CW (loudest) MAX 10dB = FULLY CCW (10 db less loud) If...

    I have an Uptone Audio modified Macmini with their linear fan control and the JPS-2 LPS. The three HGST (G-Drives) are running soft raid in mirrored Raid 1. Beneath all the drives is an EMM Labs DA2 and beneath that there's a Manley Steelhead Phono pre. My plans are to save for the Roon...

    Sold my Violectric V281 then missed "The Beast" so bought another. The Manley Absolute is on top of the Vilectric. Two great amps..... The KEF LS50 is a rear channel speaker for my video. It's not part of the audio system

    These new cables are now on the Meze International Shop. I'm using them but have not compared to other over priced cables. These are great compared to the include dark sounding cable that came with the Empyreans. I got mine from ViolectricUSA (Arthur Power) located in beautiful South Jersey...

    I’m gonna ask you a personal question that you don’t have to answer and I hope you don’t mind me asking. Do you work? Seems like music is your driving force. Maybe you should get into the audio biz

    Going with a dealer buddy and another friend who flew in from Dallas for this show. It's interesting what Meze says about the break-in being non-existent. I can swear they sounded much better after i ran them for 24 hours then they sounded when first connected. Who am i to argue... Have you...

    I don't have the experience with cans that you have. I listen mostly to speakers yet since i got these i've listened everynight. I can compare to what i have owned to clarify my opinion. 1. SennHD800 / no comment. Too stirile and boring 2. LCD-X not as Dynamic as the Audeze but also not as...

    Hi Rick, Below is the Information we have received from Rinaro : "The Empyrean do not need any burn-in period.
