| Is surge protection needed? Unplug is the only thing that really works, and make sure you are disconnected from any ground wire attached to your system. I used to think that having a switch off would block a lightning spike, but I have learned that it jumps right over any op... | |
| Bel Canto eOne amps - Is this the future? And for comparison go to www.hypex.nl.As the saying goes "There is more than one way to skin a cat" (IMHO all of them good). | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? Kr4...I have always found it easy to distinguish a ribbon from planar. A ribbon is very long and narrow...like 3/4 inch wide and 50 inches long. A planar speaker, like a Magnepanar will be more like 12 inches wide and 50 inches long. I would not t... | |
| Bel Canto eOne amps - Is this the future? Muralman1....All the complexity, design originality, and parts count are in the ICE module. The H2O power supply is a simple brute force design. This may be a great approach, but it represents a small part of the overall amplifier.By the way, I ha... | |
| New to EQ Warnerwh...If you can get the Behringer into the signal path before D/A that is, at least in theory, the best way to go. However, if you play a SACD or DVDA there is no digital output from the player, and you need to use the analog inputs and outp... | |
| New to EQ The Behringer DEQ2496 at a cost of about $350, including the mic and its cable, will dramaticly improve most systems. (Actually it is the room that is improved, not the system). Don't take my word, or anyone elses word for whether the DEQ2496 is g... | |
| DVD-A: Thoughts of a late adopter I am a big fan of multichannel, both DVDA and SACD. I do not use the stereo tracks of my discs, but it stands to reason that these would be better than a CD (except that how the particular disc was recorded can make or break either format). Howeve... | |
| Bel Canto eOne amps - Is this the future? Muralman1...Really? I thought the ICE module was made in Europe. | |
| Bel Canto eOne amps - Is this the future? Muralman1...Where in America is the ICE amp built? | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP I have not used the I/O selection capability, but from what I read in the manual (page 13) you could select either the digital or analog input, so you could accomodate one additional source. Try it. | |
| How to upgrade a nondetachable power cord? I am sure that manufacturers adopted detachable power cords for a practical reason...so that they could easily configure their products for sale in different countries that use different configurations of electrical outlets. This opened an oportun... | |
| woofers gone wild OK...Forget about the pot. It appears that the Unison amp has an active circuit to balance its output, because other aspects of its circuit design make it particularly prone to DC offset. Something has gone wrong with this circuit, or the DC offse... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Ecruz...If you move it between the CDP and the preamp you can't use it for any other source. If you do move it up you should try feeding it digital from your CDP. Your output from the Behringer will be through its D/A anyway, so why run the signal... | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? Rauliruegas...Agree that dirct coupled amps are best. I have some Kenwood LO-7M monoblocks that are direct coupled. Such an amplifier is really a DC power supply, with high slew rate and analog voltage control. | |
| Bel Canto eOne amps - Is this the future? Muralman1...You do realize that I am pulling your leg a bit? Of course I have read your many comments about the H2O. I have also read many comments by others, who don't always agree with you. As Scintilla sez "Every ears and every system is differ... |
