| How long does a stylus last? Marakanetz...Hey! Neat idea for a stylus odometer. All you would really need is a timer (such as commonly used on machinery) wired up to the TT motor. Cost would be about $15, but with Cryo treatment it would sell to the vinyl crowd for $200 easy :-) | |
| OP AMP Capabilities in Supporting 24 bit bandwidth Svenss1...Yes, 30 dB would be a bit high for the line stage, but I was thinking in terms of a phono preamp, where considerably more than 30 dB overall is necessary. Also, the line stage usually has excess gain, which is attenuated by the volume co... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? OK. I did my DVD player, a Denon 2900 with Underwood mod.As before, I appled a 125 Hz warble tone at 110dB measured by the mic resting on top of the player. I used the Denon HI-FI Check CD, track 37 (digital zero) and track 38 (one LSB square wave... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Jadem6...No offense. And well-written comments. I drive a Honda CRV instead of an Acura, because it does everything I need and leaves me with enough money to fly my airplane. Same deal with audio. I could afford the most expensive gear (well almos... | |
| Moving to New Zealand from USA Now What????? Vongwinner...I hope you are fond of sheep. Near Aukland, don't miss a visit to the Coramandel peninsular. Hot water beach is a ball. | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Tbg...I completely agree that turntables and tube amplifiers need all the vibration control they can get. I was very skeptical about SS circuitry, and the simple test I performed showed that, at least for my phono preamp, vibration has no effect. ... | |
| Behringer as DAC? Smeyers...Let's not start an argument, but I am interested in why we have different experience.1..I cross checked the Rives CD with the RS meter, and found them to be in agreement over the full range of frequencies. 2..If you want to make the resp... | |
| Why "Cryo" anything? Lugnut...What's wrong with a "troll"? That's how a lot of discussion gets started. Look at how many postings this thread generated. | |
| Behringer as DAC? Abrahavt...If I understand your question, that is NOT correct. The DEQ2496 has an analog to digital converter (ADC), digital processing(equalization and lots more), and finally a digital to analog converter(DAC) for output. It has provision to byp... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? Tbg...I just reported some facts, and everyone can draw their own conclusions. But I must point out that in dealing with 110 dB sound/vibration input, subtle resolution is a bit of a joke. | |
| Behringer as DAC? Smeyers...Just curious... but what exactly is the problem you experienced with the autoequalization process? It works perfectly in my system. And the build "robustness" seems OK to me. After all, this is pro sound equipment built to withstand the ... | |
| Moving to New Zealand from USA Now What????? Jburidan...Great country, but last time I was there increasing crime by immigrant Polynesian gangs was a concern. Some islands are administered by NZ, and their people have an absolute right to move to NZ-proper. | |
| What is the MOST audiophile friendly city ??? Boston. Also world champs in Baseball and Football. (Basketball needs work). | |
| "Commercial" plasma screens the real deal for HT? My Panasonic has an anti-burn-in feature. It slowly moves the picture around... so slowly and by such a small amount that it can't be seen. This feature can be turned on or off. | |
| Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer Oxia...Yes. It can do that, if you think your outboard DAC is better than the one built into the Behringer. A more sensible thing would be to use the digital output directly into a digital power amp that makes provision for digital input. |
