| when shutting down my system the speakers squak Since the speakers are triamped you must (ought to) have an electronic crossover. This should be powered up and down with the preamp, not the power amps. | |
| Too good to be true? Dougmc...It's not "Eldartford's proposition" but rather an interesting idea that I submit for consideration. It is interesting precisely because it is so counterintuitive. The whole business of the fence goes far beyond his economic role...the May... | |
| HDCD a flash in the pan already?? Supposedly HDCD processing is a clever way to get resolution equivalent to 20 bits (instead of 16). Can't hurt, but why bother when straightforward 24/96 is available? I have heard that the basic HDCD technology is applicable to video, and that is... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Trelja...Digital algorithms can implement filters and other sorts of processing that are simply not possible with analog circuits. The Behringer has 24/96 A/D and D/A and a floating point DSP module, so forget about resolution. And all the bad thi... | |
| Too good to be true? Fatparrot...Perhaps the prices I quoted were a bit off, but the general idea should be clear. The professional fence has accounting techniques to keep his "inventory" looking clean. Incidentally, the fence's and thief's universally agreed referenc... | |
| Too good to be true? Elizabeth and other skeptics...I can understand your doubts. The overall positive effect of the fence on the economy (and social fabric)is entirely unexpected, and only becomes evident through objective in depth research and analysis. As I said I ... | |
| Too good to be true? Elizabeth...I will be sad for a few hours. Then I will cheerfully upgrade everything under my insurance policy, just as I did with TV sets, VCRs, Microwaves, etc. when my house suffered a lighting strike. In that instance the audio equipment was (... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Mapleleafs3...I don't know if this is what you meant, but the DEQ2496 does have darned good A/D and D/A hardware, and if the Sony player's D/A is inferior the DEQ2496 could provide the DAC function, as well as all the other things it can do. Just ... | |
| Too good to be true? Maineiac...Yes, this fascinating doctoral thesis by an economics student considered everything. It was published in two volumes, one with the discussion, analysis and conclusions, suitable for layman readership, and a second volume with all the da... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP I read somwhere that Behringer service was poor. I guess that advice was all wet. | |
| 48K, 96K or 192K Tvad...Right on about DVDA! For years I have argued that it is as good or better than SACD, but for some reason most of those audiophiles who will accept high resolution have been snowed by Sony propaganda about DSD.All my DVDA are 96KHz, although... | |
| Too good to be true? Here is something to think about...Theft, and the fencing and sale of stolen goods is actually good for the economy.A brand new $400 TV is stolen from you. It is fenced for $100, and resold for $150. The person who buys it could not afford to buy ... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Jpbach...It's your nickel. But remember that the Spectrum analyser feature of the DEQ2496 is way better than the Radio Shack SPL meter for evaluating the effectiveness of changes to your system/room. Consider its EQ capability as a bonus. | |
| Bel Canto eOne amps - Is this the future? Humanmedia...I stand corrected. NuForce doesn't use the UcD module. Based on what I read its design approach is more like UcD than ICE. | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Tvad's suggestion for the Audio Control C-101 Equalizer is good if you can get it for anything like $30. Don't forget that you will need to add a calibration microphone to fully utilize the C-101. I'm not sure what kind of mic is needed, but I hav... |
