Question for Behringer DEQ2496 gurus
It will work in all digital. Did you make sure that the i/o selects optical for both? I have it and have had no problems with this.These websites were particularly useful for setting it up.http://forums.audioreview.com/general-audio/thoughts-using... 
Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders??
Here's the problem - bass response. The ideal here would/should be bookshelf sized speakers and subwoofers, but bookshelves are still all made for at least decent bass response when you really don't need them to get much below 80hz. This means tha... 
The Best Live album
Jeff Buckley Live at Sin-E 
Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference
Short answer, no. Even expensive cables/interconnects can make no difference. It's good to read stuff, but with cables, etc. it's best to identify what aspects of sound are important to you and what you'd like to improve in your system and use tha... 
Has anyone experianced Synesthesia?
I used to have a piano teacher who experienced it and saw chords as rainbows with different notes as different shades of colors. He was incredibly gifted at using that to figure out complex chords from an entire orchestra or jazz band very quickly...

Recordings with BASS

Passive Pre-amp: Improves overall sound quality??
It's funny, I was very very happy until I got a really nice active preamp. My Luminous Axiom blew everything under $1000 out of the water by far, but now that I have a nice active I can actually hear what I was missing---- primarily dynamics. Play... 
Another survey - Best bargain you ever got
I bought my Paradigm Studio 100 v.2's for $300. I was pretty ecstatic. The owner was moving across the country in a few days and hadn't gotten rid of them yet, I saw it on craigslist right when it went up and was at his place within an hour. 
Music that everyone else loves but you just don't
Reading this thread inspired me to go read the billboard top 100... I can't say I know more than 10 or 15 songs, and none of those are even remotely listenable. What a shame 
Frank Zappa?
No one else likes Hot Rats and Joe's Garage?
