EMM Labs DS-EQ1 V2 Optical Equalizer

When Ed made the decision to dust off his extensive vinyl collection, he was interested in finding out what the current state of vinyl playback was. During his research, he became intrigued with DS Audio’s optical cartridge technology and their customers' experiences.

Initiating a collaboration with Tetsuaki Aoyagi, head of DS Audio, Ed purchased the W2 optical cartridge for development and was impressed during his preliminary listening experiences. Compared to his reference MC cartridge, the W2 exhibited improved resolution, clarity and low frequency response. This motivated Ed to dive back into the world of vinyl playback, resulting in the first EMM Labs optical equalizer, the DS-EQ1, designed exclusively for interfacing with DS Audio optical cartridges.

Upon receiving the full line of DS Audio cartridges, Ed immediately recognized a common sonic signature within the line, increasing in its degree of refinement and depth from the entry-level E1 to the flagship Master1 cartridge.

The DS-EQ1 V2 is designed with an obsessive desire to lower noise and distortion, and to extract every bit of detail and information from any DS Audio optical cartridge. The DS-EQ1’s circuits are all Meitner designed in-house, including its power supply, and are optimized for short and direct audio paths. EMM uses a custom made ceramic PCB for the equalization and amplification stages, which allow for the superior extraction of low level details in the audio.

From its proprietary equalization, class A amplification, and power supply systems, to its touch panel buttons and sophisticated aluminium chassis, the DS-EQ1 is the ultimate partner to any DS Audio optical cartridge.

The V2 was released on December 1, 2024 and is now available at your local dealer and online. 

“I found developing the DS-EQ1 both extremely interesting and highly satisfying. It was an honour to work on this project in close collaboration with DS Audio. I now find myself improving and appreciating my vinyl collection on a daily basis with DS Audio optical cartridges and the EMM Labs DS-EQ1 optical equalizer.”, -- Ed Meitner

Cooling Blanket for Hot Sleepers, Soft Lightweight Comfort with a Cool-to-the-Touch Feel
This reversible cooling blanket is a great option for anyone who sleeps warm. It’s incredibly soft, very lightweight, and has that instantly cool-to-the-touch feel that makes it especially comfortable for hot sleepers. What I liked most is how airy and breathable it feels without being heavy or stuffy. It’s comfortable enough to use all night and gives that nice cooling sensation when you first pull it over you. The softness also makes it feel cozy without sacrificing the lightweight design. My only real wish is that it came with a matching pillowcase, because that would make it feel even more complete as a sleep set. Pros: Extremely soft and comfortable Cool to the touch Lightweight and airy feel Great for hot sleepers Breathable without feeling heavy Cons: Does not include a matching pillowcase Verdict: If you tend to sleep hot, this is a really nice lightweight cooling blanket. It’s soft, breathable, and comfortable with a refreshing cool feel. I just wish it included a pillowcase to make the set feel complete

Cooling Blanket is a sleep saver for me!
This is the second product I have used from bedsmile and as with the other one, this is a great product! It truly is a cooling blanket. I am a very hot sleeper and live in a hot, humid climate, so this has been a sleep saver for me! One side is silky smooth and feels so good on your skin. The other side has a texture to it which is great if you want to use it as your only bedding, which I do. It covers well and hangs over the edges as it should. I ordered the white one and it is bright and unblemished. The silky side magically feels much cooler than typical bedding and keeps me cooler during the night. It is lightweight but heavy enough to make you feel that you are "under the covers". In my opinion, putting additional covers over it would defeat the purpose but if you live in a cooler climate, it would still be beneficial to use this blanket as the silky coolness would help get a good night's sleep anywhere. Another great benefit of this product is that it does not have any strange odors when unpacking. I did wash it before using, but honestly, I am not sure it was necessary.

Incredible Value - Soft, Stays in Place, and Military Son Approved!
Size: California King, Size: California King
I purchased this mattress topper for under $27 and I'm so impressed that I'm planning to buy another one! Easy Installation & Perfect Fit: This topper was incredibly easy to put on, and it fits my California King mattress perfectly. The 18-inch deep pockets ensure it stays in place - I can move around on the bed and it doesn't shift at all. Comfort: The topper is wonderfully soft and has made a noticeable difference in our sleep quality. My husband absolutely loves it, and we both wake up feeling more rested. The Ultimate Test: My son recently came home after being deployed for a year. He slept on our bed for hours and immediately commented on how soft and comfortable it was. That's saying something for someone who's been sleeping on military accommodations! He was so impressed that he's planning to buy one for his ship. Bottom Line: For the price, comfort, and quality, I recommend this 100%. It's hypoallergenic, stays in place, and has exceeded all our expectations. You can't go wrong with this purchase!
