| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? It does and I might try it, but doing so would completely bypass the Exemplar tubed output stage...and what would be the point? Kind of like bypassing the APL circuitry.Which is why separate DACs are making sense again, unfortunately. | |
| who surprised and who disappointed Dave Alvin & the Guilty Men, Evelyn GlennieI'm speechless. | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Was that you, Alex? I felt so stupid, and it wasn't even the first time. | |
| is a rsl a rogers speaker? Macrojack appeared in my dreams last night. When I woke this morning, there was a large pod by the bed, a pair of Druids in the living room, and Warrenh was fixing me a breakfast of scrambled tympanics.Jut kidding, fellas! | |
| is a rsl a rogers speaker? Dan, I get more satisfaction from my wife than any loudspeaker.You wouldn't be saying that if you had a pair of Zu's! | |
| is a rsl a rogers speaker? You could probably find just those units on eBay, Grant. Why not? See if you can get the satisfaction back!I think a lot of us are searching for a sound we once had with much more modest systems. On the other hand, as they say, things aren't as go... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? I understand. If the Denon has a digital out, you might want to try that at some point, just to see if it makes a difference. | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? If I'm not mistaken, it's a digital EQ, so putting in the tape loop means it will have to perform AD and DA conversion. Placing it between transport and DAC avoids those extra conversions. | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? You might want to try using it between transport and DAC. Actually, I know you can't do that, Grant, so use it between transport and preamp. Don't forget to order the microphone. | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? I've heard speakers that are rated at +/- whatever from 30-20K that do not *sound* full range to me. They reproduce deep bass but without the *weight* I associate with truly full-range speakers. Perhaps Room Lock and Room Shudder describe that exp... | |
| Zu on Zu People who listened to one cut of an album or less usually didn't get it. Listeners who lingered for a few, usually did.That is certainly believeable. But, earlier you or someone else suggested that it could take weeks or months to "get it". That'... | |
| Audiophile Electrocution Amazing story, armstrod. So you think the shock changed your metabolism? It sounds like it was for the better except for having worn out your thyroid too soon. Hmmm...I'd love to have more energy and could stand to lose a few pounds. Think I'll tr... | |
| Ani Difranco I saw her at the New Orleans Jazzfest a few weeks ago. A great live act...terrific energy. She's almost more poet than songwriter and really lays herself bare in her lyrics. Very powerful and moving to hear live. Her band, including Mr. Sickafoose... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Take a look at Henryhk's discussion of his Magico audition, which appears in his virtual system. | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value Question to Macrojack: Does the 1/5 of MSRP refer to COGS alone? What exactly is included? Before we can declare that his margin is 67% (12k/18K), we need to consider such costs as warranty expense, shipping (not trivial on Wilson speakers), sales... |
