I have finally retrieved the 88 version of MMT from the garage. A quick listen confirms a couple of things: 1) this isn't a simple remaster, mix levels have been changed too 2) the track peak level of the 88 version is way too low (80dB) - the 09 version is 95dB 3) there is no limiting and only

Hi guys Re the TR SE picture Mickey posted. I think it's a bit unfortunate that the electronic part of the knob is still visible inside TR. It is my guess that in that picture the electronic part is connected only to be able to test TR functionality without the need of an IR remote. (But that rea

I have to say that I also never used the knob except for testing. Always suggested it should do volume while playing like on the Boom, that way it would have gotten more use. But if that's the only thing missing the Transporter SE would make for a great parts donor, after all that knob is probabl

OK, if Logitech are just using up spare inventory, that implies they have some TP motherboards kicking around. I don't care about the knob, the front panel buttons or the displays. But if my TP ever dies, it would be nice to be able to slot in a replacement mobo. So can I buy one to keep as a spa
