| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow Lewinskih01, I don't have a DAC so I am stuck with analog for now.My comments:"I am a little disappointed that, while the DEQ does not add colorations per se, it does add a slight haze to everything. Sound is slightly less clear, less crisp, and a... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... Eldartford, if I follow you it is better the way I have it - in analog mode between CDP and preamp? Using my CDB's digital output instead, the DEQ2496 DAC sounded horrible. My ear was hurting (like my B&W's) within 5 minutes. Guess I'll have t... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow I found the Behringer DAC to be thin, bright, sibilant. Brings out the worst in CD sound. | |
| I know this is heresy, but... Can someone tell me if the DEQ2496 connected between the CDP and preamp is worse than between pre and power amp?I am a little disappointed that, while the DEQ does not add colorations per se, it does add a slight haze to everything. Sound is sligh... | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Can they put a remote control on the LSA? I'm lazy. | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line Just re-inventing the wheel.Dan if you're out there, how about something innovative like hi-rez music on flash memory with no moving parts like in some netbooks now? | |
| Good Sound under $500 Denon53, you might want to start a thread about phase plugs. What I can suggest is:1) Seas likes them because it reduces air pressure build up behind the driver so it moves more freely. May not be important if the x-over point is under 1,500 Hz.2)... | |
| Good Sound under $500 Hi Denon53, your welcome. I rec'd the CBM170, as I have not heard the Sierra, and it is a fine sounding speaker. It's a well designed speaker on the clean, accurate, side of the spectrum.I have always preferred drivers with a phase plug (except do... | |

| Single driver point source speakers vs. the world? Abby's are NOT single driver. They are a 2-way with a mechanical x-over.I second Johnk about Seas being the best IME as well. I use a super tweeter for some air above 13khz. Sounds like musical truth to my ears. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? I agree with you. Just because a recording is not perfectly accurate does not mean you should throw the whole accuracy thing away. Just giving a different perspective that the best you can hope for is a perfect reproduction of the recording, not t... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Tholt, I agree that for many, the fundamental goal of stereo reproduction is the illusion of the real thing. Not so for photographers. Maybe they are saving themelves a whole bunch of grief not trying to chase down the impossible.Let's start at th... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Has there ever been the assumption that a photo or painting could be mistaken for the real thing? Does that make it any less beautiful? Why should audio be any different?Sometimes they all bring our a beauty that was hidden even when we saw the re... | |
