Probably I certainly do as well, one of those big bruiser things, plus a home brew tuner build along these lines .. http://home.comcast.net/~w1ia/100_0900.JPG I almost never turn on the amp any more
I'm always amazed at the midunderstandings about the poor old D-104. With proper impedance matching, with an appropriate transformer or a suitable preamp with the right load on the D-104 element, the
It is inevitable. The real question is whether there's actually anything on TV worth watching to justify the (still) high price tags on the the better 1080p screens :-) _____________________________

I got all revved up and looked hard at doing it a few years ago. Couldn't even find current study materials for all of it. Finally just let the whole notion go. Good idea, 20+ years too late. And lif
It was originally forecast for late fall 2007, but according to Scott at TT it was put on hold while they focused on completing the RX-400 and getting it out of the door. Maybe early next year, or so
THRESHOLD. A lot of people have forgotten it even exists since T-T merged some Threshold control with RF gain. The minimum value defaults to 1uv, but it can be set lower. Grant/NQ5T ________________
You'll perhaps observe that many of the people with issues have not yet sold their Orion 1/II's :) Some have of course, but then there's always some niggle somewhere, or something new and better on t
I'm sitting here trying to figure out what you guys want. 1KW tranmitter firmware? dc to light receive firmware? CW decoders? A driver for your new 52" plasma display? Teleportation technology? Full
I do think there's a goodly list of things that need to be done, especially relative to the current state of firmware for the original Orion, where I think T-T did in fact leave the current owners e
Hi, Bill .. If that's the case this time, and it's what you want, then by all means .. After all of the niggling about NR in the Orion, I noticed that at least as of early December, NR had been turn
So it's a work in progress? I wish you the best with whatever bunch of silicon, gold, lead (or maybe lead-free these days), arsenic, other heavy metals, carbon, fiberglass, etc. you choose to use. I
Bill, You clearly don't recall the update stream when both of the Orions were introduced. OF COURSE the new one's developers have put out multiple updates since early December. There are apparently a
Just buy or build a simple headphone amp with adjustable level control. Set the speaker where you like it, set the headphone where you like it at that volume level, and --voila -- no more problem. On
Wait a minute. Change radio firmware because you're not happy with headphone levels? As a frequent audiophool who has owned many sets of headphones .. It isn't the audio system's fault that one head
Pots? There aren't any stinkin' pots :) The controls, presuming you're talking about front panel controls, are all optical encoders. Grant/NQ5T _______________________________________________ TenTec
Excellent (essentially mint, but it does have fingerprints) Orion II for sale. Internal Tuner, 600Hz/1800Hz optional filters, and 302 Remote Pod. Accessory pack (except for the mic connector, which i
(I trust your intent was to make a funny) Of course not. When one touches somthing, one leaves a fingerprint behind Not. If there really are any, a soft cloth will do them in. The comment was obviou
Actually, unless you dip your hands in lard before leaving a print behind, they do come off quite easily and cleanly with a microfiber cloth. Now, don't everyone run out and corner the market on len
