I also have a Veronica 100 milliwat unit. The problem with it though is that you need to take the cover off to change the frequency and the frequency is changed via dip switches which, if you're blind, can be quite problematic. Also it's a bit prone to hum even with its regulated power supply. The Wavemach on the other hand doesn't suffer from either of these problems. My Wavemach also has the frequency buttons and the volume control and I couldn't be happier with the unit. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Mosen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'PC audio discussion list.

Hi Rick, I've had my Veronica for about 8 years now, so my comparisons may not be valid compared with what they're selling now. On the Veronica, I need to use a screw driver to change the frequency, and with so many LPFM stations here, I was having to do that quite a bit. I love the push buttons on the Wavemach. The Veronica the unit I have is just a circuit board. I think over the years with various moves of houses, it's kind of been bumped around a bit and isn't in as good a shape as it once was. I would say though that the range of the Wavemach is better, and I have also seen comments from people who say that some of the newer Veronicas can drift a bit, and it's hard to get an adapter that doesn't cause a noticeable power hum. The adapter is included with the Wavemach, it's dual voltage, and it sounds great. The housing means that it will survive any moves too because it's in a very sturdy metal case. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Alfaro Sent: Saturday, 4 August 2007 6:13 a.m. To: 'PC audio discussion list. ' Subject: RE: Follow-up on FM Transmitters Hi there Jonathan. I am very curious to know how you compare your new transmitter with the Veronica you had. I have a CCrane myself and can understand how there probably is no comparison between the 2. The CCrane I guess is ok for $60 but I am not happy with mine at all even with the mod. I know you were quite happy with your Veronica, so I am wondering if it just finally bit the dust or if you grew to be unsatisfied with its performance for some reason. --Warmest regards, --Rick Alfaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan Mosen Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 9:25 PM To: 'PC audio discussion list. ' Subject: Follow-up on FM Transmitters A couple of months ago, there was a great thread on this list about FM transmitters. A user recommended the transmitter found at http://www.wavemach.com. I purchased one of these and am thrilled. The range is huge, the construction solid, no nasty power hum, very good stereo separation, in short, no complaints whatsoever. I got him to add a level control that allows me to set the line in for the two RCA sockets, and he also added small buttons for setting the frequency. It has a standard antenna socket at the back and comes with a very solid little antenna, not just a wire. So if you're looking for an FM transmitter, this one is definitely worth a look, but it is on the high end of the price range. You definitely get what you pay for though.
