Gain stages on Preamp
05-20-15: 68peteThank you all for the info. So the best way to set the gain stage on the preamp would be to set it to zero and put the volume where you like to listen then slowly turn the gain up to where the music sounds its best???68pete, maybe ... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
thanks for the clarification Almarg. I forgot that DEQX also does room correction. yes, makes sense that the mic is at the listening pos for room corr. 
Is DEQX a game changer?
He also asked to me to position the mic at the precise spot of my ears. No kidding!!yup, no kidding! this is where you found the drivers to integrate best & the DEQXpert leveraged off that info to make the measurements. Any closer & you wo... 
Gain stages on Preamp
good answers by Newbee & Viridian. I'll add my 2 cents:the gain control on a preamp is really an attenuator as already indicated. The CDP or any source outputs a fairly large signal that, if unattenuated, would exceed the max input voltage lev... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
The reason I ask relates to the relatively large physical spacing between some of your drivers, which based on pictures I've seen I suspect is around 3 feet between the lowest of the four woofers and the tweeter. On my speakers, also, the two woof...

thanx for the update re. your DEQX purchase, Almarg. I was about to find this thread & ask whether or not you had purchased the DEQX box but I got my answer when I was trolling this forum. An engineering approach to installing DEQX in your sys...

I streamed the latest Radio Deluxe show off their website & I have to agree with Schubert - they announced themselves & the name of the show just toooooooo many times & it got really annoying. After about 20 minutes I couldn't stand it... 
The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf
Wim1983, sorry you don't like the looks of the speaker. The looks are derived from a "form follows function" design perspective.I thought you were looking for performance? Your decision seems to be swayed now by looks???If I were looking for the p... 
The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf
My next aim for powerful speakers, will be something near perfect immune to distortions, must be extreme dynamic, go very loud and does not make the sound quality collapsed, also I insist to stick with bookshelf sizethe Green Mountain Audio Rio &a...

I use the Soverign 2+2 & like it still. I've done some mods to make it more resonant-proof. Not planning to sell them ..... 
jazzheads need your help: Clark terry
thanks for letting us know that Radio Deluxe is such a good jazz radio show. Will try to listen to it online (don't have a receiver + antenna that will DX). Can anyone recommend an online radio station to "tune into" to listen to Radio Deluxe?I've...
