TigerScent Posted October 20, 2024 Posted October 20, 2024 A while ago I created a topic about a Rotel comparison, and stored my ME away, as the Rotel mods I performed were quite amazing...However...on bringing my ME to my workbench, revisiting what Peter Stein told me to do, to bypass the low impedance requirement, I rechecked every step, and made sure on the side of the mod, the speaker terminal connections were swapped around ... hooked it up, and was amazed at the sound coming out of it. Peter Stein refurbished and modified it, so that I could add solid silver strips to speaker terminals , which I did on the positive side, which I did, but silver soldered them... I spent a lot of time with him on the phone and listening to all he had to say...and it turned out really well after I rechecked and re-adjusted the connections as he specified... So, my previous criticism was unfair to a point, the Rotel is phenomenal when modded with silver wiring, but the ME is pretty good too, modded...if I did not have the Rotel, I would probably be hanging on to the ME...even though the on/off/cooling fan scenario was replaced and unit checked and refurbished by Peter Stein, I personally don't like it...its unecassary and complicated, I prefer just on/off switch with passive cooling...so for that reason and the fact that I have an upmarket Rotel, I have decided to sell it - even tho I never thought I would...the only other mod that could be made is to add extra caps on the negative output...which could be done fairly easily, but I am not going to... So, just for the sake of accuracy, I thought I would write this to be fair to ME...
