| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Warnerwh...When I do autoequalization I use the "ROOM CORR" feature. This rolls off highs at 1 dB/oct. I agree that this sounds better.I have not used the parametric EQ. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that there really is only one equalizati... | |
| hide equipment My Sony Direct TV reciever has a remote that communicates by both IR and RF. The RF feature allows you to control the receiver from a second TV in another room. (The on-screen display of the Sony tells you what is going on).I think I saw an ad for... | |
| Why China Isnt Happening Yet When Japan first began selling sports cars they were knock-offs of classic British cars like the MG...just cheaper. The next generation were their own designs, and ran circles around the competition. They sold on the basis of quality, not cost. Ch... | |
| Another sign SACD is dying Jadem6...The only audio piece I ever bought at Best Buy is a Panasonic SA-XR70, and it is one heck of a good item for my TV/HT rig. With the right speakers it really could be a primary audio system.I don't know how you got details of my system, bu... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Lousyreeds1..."That" music was an acknowledgement that the term "modern" is not quite correct. Sorry if you didn't get that.My original posting simply reported a fact, delayed audience response, which anyone at a live performance can verify, and w... | |
| Another sign SACD is dying Milpai...Of course BB and CC are in to selling mass produced products at low cost. That's how you make money in the real world, so that you can afford to buy exotic audio equipment, sports cars, motor boats, airplanes, etc. | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Lousyreeds1...As the saying goes..."If I said that I was misquoted".I am *dissapointed* not proud that most modern music leaves me cold, and I consider myself an *observer* of the sociology of musical appreciation, not an expert like you, sir.As t... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Lousyreeds1...I can agree with that. It says that I am not too proud to admit that I can't appreciate most modern music. I could pretend, as many seeking acceptance do, but that would not be me.By the way, the sounds resulting from the "technical ... | |
| Another sign SACD is dying Robm321...Circuit City may not have a clue about audiophiles, but audiophiles (some of them anyway) don't grasp the real world, which is where Circuit City and Best Buy rule. How else can you explain $2000 speaker wires? | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. A funny thing happened yesterday. A radio station that I often listen to was playing some of "that" music. I was in my car, and parked it to go into a store. When I came back the radio program really grabbed my attention. It was just an awful nois... | |
| Trying to get back into Lps, I seem to be throwing Rauliruegas...Some people think that a transformer is a "purer" way to get gain than an active circuit. Six of one and half a dozen the other. All I know is that the Signet transformer which I used performed very well indeed, which was contrary to... | |
| tube watts vs solid state watts The clipping characteristics of tube and ss amps do differ, and tubes do sound less harsh and do less harm to tweeters. However, except in Pro sound applications, anyone who, on a regular basis, drives their amps into clipping is simply using the ... | |
| tube watts vs solid state watts Loudness relates to Gain (Volts out per volt in), not to power rating which is simply the maximum that can be output without unacceptable distortion. A low power amp, perhaps a tube amp, with a high gain will play louder, for a given setting of th... | |
| Trying to get back into Lps, I seem to be throwing Powers55...I hadn't tumbled to the fact that you have a MC pickup plugged into a MM input. You do need a different phono preamp, but perhaps not the multi-kilobuck kind. Why not try a MC transformer, inserted between the pickup and your existing p... | |
| Are first order crossovers best? Blindjim...I think you got your answer in the first couple of responses, but they raised interesting points that have been the basis of ongoing discussion. That's the nature of this forum. Merry Christmas, or whatever. |
