| Equalizers - Graphiic, Parametric & Channel Balance I've been using the 2496 now for 2 days now and am amazed at its control capabilities. However, as a new EQ user I found the owner's manual nearly worthless and was only able to get a good start after reading an article by Mike Anderson (Audio Rev... | |
| Equalizers - Graphiic, Parametric & Channel Balance Ok, I got the 2496 and when you said, ZD, that it has every imaginable feature, that's almost an understatement. In reading the manual I agree with all of you who say that this unit should be what I need to resolve the issues that I named, and the... | |
| Equalizers - Graphiic, Parametric & Channel Balance When several of you whose advice I've successfully taken in the past agree on a best solution, I'd be remiss not to listen. In reading some of the descriptions of its operation I realize that there'll be a bit of acclimation involved but I'll get ... | |
| Equalizers - Graphiic, Parametric & Channel Balance ZD, I submitted my last post before reading it and absentmindedly said I was looking at a Behringer when I meant to ask about the Aphex 8024. Anyway, when you referred to "it has both graphic and parametric...", which one were you referring to? Yo... | |
| Equalizers - Graphiic, Parametric & Channel Balance Coincidentally, ZD, I have a like new DEQ2496 that I bought used (eBay) that was DOA and is being returned today. I also have two dbx1531's that I've been trying and one of these had a problem also. I agree with you, Mapman, from my research I've ... | |
| Should Equalizers make a comeback? I owned amps years ago which, indeed, had balance and tone controls but these were single button controllers which allow only for adjustment of both channels together. For control of the kind that one needs for accommodating room acoustics or, in ... | |
| Should Equalizers make a comeback? As I stated in another forum, I have not owned amplification equipment for well over 20 yrs that had either balance or tone controls. In my advancing years, though, my hearing accuity has deteriorated making it necessary to either start wearing he... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Even though I've been active in this hobby for about fifty six years having built my first monaural amps from kits in the mid fiftys, I'm completely aware of my limitations attempting to evaluate deficiencies in my various setups. This is especial... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Chuckie, coincidentally, there is a pair for sale here on Audiogon and the price seems reasonable. Right now I'm leaning more toward solid state, partly because of my having had more experience with that technology and partly based on the eye open... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers I may have started this thread under the false pretext that I have a strong desire to switch from solid state when what I really needed was help with certain specific issues thinking that tubes may be an appropriate path toward that goal. What I'm... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Sqlsavior, thanks for the suggestion which is similar to others I received several months ago. The first EQ I tried was a parametric and I had a problem learning to use it. The graphic EQ is a bit simpler to understand and its control parameters a... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Bifwynne, yes, I have read your posts and have reviewed the PreMATE as a potential fix worth consideration. I had the same concerns re putting additional components in the stream when I added EQ's to address my hearing issues. It may be an affront... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers I've used electrostatics for over 35 years, all of which except for one pair of Acoustats have been ML (Prodigy, SL3, CLS, Odyssey, now the Ethos) and have been aware of their impedance characteristics for most of that time. However, during much o... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers In the several years that I've participated in these forums these are some of the most comprehensive and cogent responses that I've read. Even though some explanations are stretching my ability I greatly appreciate them and thank you for your will... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Something wrong is right. The difference between in phase and out is dramatic; when standing nearly centered in the plane struck from one speaker to the other, the in phase sound is centered and the out of phase sound has the perception stereo but... |
