| Weird problem. Bad tube or something else? I'm thinking that running the 7308s in the V3 and V4 positions for some amount of time, including powering the preamp up a few times when it is not warmed up, might provide useful information.Also, I see in the schematic for the LS-7 (at arcdb.ws)... | |
| Weird problem. Bad tube or something else? This has turned into a fowl thread.Nah. IMO the thread is just ducky.-- Al :-) | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Andrew (Drewan77) & Bombaywalla, thanks for your kind comments. And Bruce (Bifwynne), thanks for the suggestion about putting pillows on the floor for the speaker measurements. That is also suggested in the manual, and I'm planning to do it. I... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Hi Bruce,Yes, I've been following the ARC KT-150 upgrade threads to some extent, particularly including your posts. Glad it appears to be working out well.And yes, at this point I'm satisfied with the transparency of the DEQX, and I'm ready to mov... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? 05-16-15: BifwynneAl, please clarify/confirm what you are reporting. At this point, I think you are saying that your DEQX is being used in bypass mode ... no signal corrections yet. If so, presumably there should be little or no impact on the sign... | |
| Room correction - what device works best? Update: I received my new DEQX HDP-5 from Acoustic Frontiers a few days ago. See my post dated today in the Is DEQX A Game-Changer? thread for a detailed update, which is all good at this early stage (I have not yet attempted any measurements or... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? An update: I received my new DEQX HDP-5 from dealer AcousticFrontiers.com a few days ago, slightly ahead of the schedule for this production run which DEQX had projected back in March.Installing the DEQX component in the system was straightforward... | |
| Two Stereo Amps to Krell Preamp? I agree with George's response, of course.Also, if you want to be able to listen to a single pair of speakers while having both amplifiers powered up, you could put a line-level switchbox between the preamp and the amps. A good choice would be the... | |
| The most helpful Forum Discussion Topics??? Ditto to Mapman's response. Thanks Lynne (Arnettpartners)!And beyond the specific compliments, IMO both your post and Brauser's were extremely well said.Best,-- Al | |
| Room correction - what device works best? 05-11-15: UnsoundAl, I agree that the advantages the DEQX bring to the table might (probably) outweigh the down sampling issue, but in that sub $100 DVD players can decode (yes I realize that's all) the native higher sampling rates, it is still so... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Bill (Grannyring), a strong +1 to Swampwalker's comments. Very glad the surgery, and less importantly the system, have had fine results.Best,-- Al | |
| Room correction - what device works best? Michael (Swampwalker), here are my thoughts in response to your post:Regarding the last question, about flat frequency response, see these paragraphs from the DEQX FAQ. Makes sense to me, and note that DEQX provides a goodly amount of flexibility ... | |
| Room correction - what device works best? ZD, with respect to frequency response equalizations that may be introduced in the speaker calibration process the answer to your good question is certainly yes. I believe the same holds true for equalizations that are introduced in the room corre... | |
| Room correction - what device works best? Lewinski, +1 to Roscoe's response. Some time ago I had read through the 143 page calibration manual and the 36 page user manual for the HDP-4, and I found many indications of various kinds that are consistent with it being able to perform timing c... | |
| Room correction - what device works best? Thanks very much, Lewinski. Yes, I've followed the posts and threads related to your project, and I'm happy to comment whenever I can contribute anything meaningful.As you realize, the three independently configurable pairs of output channels prov... |
