Re: EDP BrotherSync

["Glenn Poorman" <glenn.poorman@autodesk.com>]

Just an update here in case anyone is interested.

I followed Matthias' advice and contacted Andy for some new
crystals. He sent me two sets. Since one of my units is brand
new, he suggested only replacing the crystals in the old one.
I did that this morning, fed a loop into the stereo pair, and
left the room for a good half hour. Upon my return, the two
units were perfectly in sync.

Thanks Matthias and Andy for your help.
