Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Ecruz...Seems to me that a "quality issue" would show up all the time. I rather suspect there is some kind of power or ground disturbance that the Behringer is picking up. Sometimes an input wire from a turned-off source can be noisy...noise that ... 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Ecruz...What does the error message say? I never saw one.I would try removing the line conditioner and see if the problem still occurs. 
Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars?
Muralman1...This sounds the same as Maggies, except the magnets run in horizontal rows instead of vertical rows.Sogood51...Having magnets only on one side (front or back)of the panel does theoretically give an asymmetrical drive, but, because the ... 
Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass?
DA DA!! Behringer DEQ2496 to the rescue again.Seriously, its spectrum analyser will show you what your problem is, and can help evaluate any fixes you try. And, in the meanwhile you can shape the frequency response to something you like, which may...

Trelja...How do you create a strong magnetic field across the gap of a wide ribbon? Can you please describe how the magnetics of the Apogee are set up. 
Bel Canto eOne amps - Is this the future?
By the way, I think that the CIA D200 and the NuForce share the same UcD amplifier module, but the CIA unit has a conventional power supply whereas the NuForce has a switcher. I have no idea whether this makes a difference.I do note that the manuf... 
Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system?
Kenn39...You raise a good point. Being aware of this I have set up low gain power amps, so that my "pre-out" signal level is as high or higher than the CDP output signal level. This is why a TAPE loop, if you have one, is the best place to put any... 
Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system?
Drubin...An Optical-to-Coax converter can be found at www.partsexpress.com item 180-961. However, reading the DEQ2496 manual, I see that the digital output which is on an XLR connector can be switched between the professional format, AES/EBU, and ... 
Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system?
Drubin...A Toslink-to-Coax converter is actually reasonable. After all, there is one such device at the input of every unit that has a Toslink input. Of course it would have to be a powered device. I think I have seen one in a catalog somewhere, b... 
Bel Canto eOne amps - Is this the future?
Muralman1...I do not doubt your integrity. Sorry if it came across like that. I guess I should have said "accurate" instead of "truthful". The usual description of products like this is "Assembled in USA with parts sourced from _____"I do think th... 
Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars?
Kr4...I guess the narrow ribbon dimension is a necessary condition to use a magnetic field across its surface. 
Bel Canto eOne amps - Is this the future?
Muralman1...Don't you see that being less than truthful about where the amp is made hurts your credibility about other aspects of the amp. We don't care!!! You raised the subject. The case is very pretty. But if it costs $400 that would be more th... 
Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system?
Streetdaddy...If your integrated amp has a TAPE loop (TAPE OUT and TAPE IN rca connectors) it would be obvious. If it has PRE OUT and AMP IN connectors (probably connected by jumpers) you could put it there. If all else fails you can put it betwee... 
Best Subwoofer for Magnepan speakers
I have custom designed subwoofer systems that I designed and built embedded in the wall behind my Maggies. I am well satisfied with results. While this design may be impractical for most people, (eg: apartment dwellers) some of the concepts I used... 
Bel Canto eOne amps - Is this the future?
But they are made (mostly) in Europe? Go on, admit it. We don't care.
