Colorizing The Sound
The link doesn't work. A picture of the DK Design amp that I found in a review shows the back panel with jumpers from pre out to power in. 
Balanced to RCA or Opposite
Rwwear...The DEQ2496 detects whether the connection is balanced or unbalanced, and adjusts gain accordingly. Thus, for example, I can use unbalanced in and balanced out and still have unity gain through the unit. By the way, it is also possible to... 
Balanced to RCA or Opposite
As suggested in the other thread, your neatest way to hook up the DEQ2496 would be to get two 2-channel unbalanced interconnects with RCA on one end and XLR on the other. One cable will have male XLRs and the other female XLRs.I see from a photo o... 
Colorizing The Sound
Sputniks...1...I think I made the manual download from the website of WWW.samedaymusic.com which is where I bought mine.2...The connectors on the Behringer are XLR type, but these can be used for single ended electrical interface (as well as for b... 
Colorizing The Sound
Sputniks...Did you download the owner's manual? The DEQ2496 can be controlled as either a 31 band graphic or 7 band parametric equalizer. (And it can do other clever things that you might have fun playing with).The input and output can be either b... 
Colorizing The Sound
Equalizers today are not your father's equalizers. All the talk about degrading the signal is left-over myth from long ago. Rather than argue with people whose minds are made up, I suggest that you simply try one and see for yourself. Personally I... 
Sound Insulation- how much can it help?
Retrofitting sound isolation into an existing structure (especially a rented one) is futile. However, if sound isolation is designed into the building from the start the result can be very satisfactory. The prime examples are hotels at airports, w... 
Equipment Set-up Recommendations?
The whole idea of a linear tracking arm is that there is no (zero) sideforce (skating force). Vibration should of course be avoided, but if the arm is working right it should not jump grooves. I suggest that you carefully check leveling. (And fix ... 
Concert stage layout -- who made who?
Sean...Your recording approach reminds me of scrambled eggs, as opposed to sunny side. I gather that by your arangement of musicians, and some judicious mixing, you aim to create a "soundstage" when the two channel recording is played back. OK, I ... 
Regarding supertweeters
The wavelength of 20KHz sound is 0.66 inch. Therefore there is no need to carefully align the supertweeter and the tweeter for phasing reasons. Slight changes of listener position will affect the relative phasing of multiple drivers, so there is n... 
Ancient performance with today's sonics...
Newbee...Thanks. I will look into these recordings. Perhaps when they transcribed the punched rolls to a digital file they were able to do a little editing to restore some aspects of the original performance.I have heard the Bosendorfer reproducin... 
Ancient performance with today's sonics...
Newbee...Piano rolls do not duplicate all the subtleties that a pianist can impart to the performance, so, because of this I think that ragtime/honky tonk music is more suitable than classical music for this media. Current versions of the automate... 
Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)
I remember when the wood case was an extra cost option. When your audio equipment consisted of a receiver or preamp on a bookshelf and a power amp hidden away on a low shelf the wood case looked good. Today, with a rack full of stuff, and a crazy ... 
Regarding supertweeters
I believe in supertweeters, because I know, from personal experience, that auditory ability exists well above the frequency at which you can detect the pure sine wave that is used for testing.However, I think you may be on to a point about CDs, an... 
Vinyl Reason
Nsgarch...The cosmos is, I must tell you, digital at its heart. But cheer up! The RESOLUTION is so good that for all practical purposes it looks like analog. There is a message here for audiophiles.
