Damn! I thought I invented that. I never got around to building one, but I bet that the spiral configuration would reflect Fibonacci numbers. 
Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer
Snofun3...This thing is clean as clean can be. Too many specs to quote, but S/N is 113 dB, and THD is 0.007%.Go to www.behringer.com for all the details. Some room treatment is a good idea, but an active equalizer is much more effective for room r... 
Sonic Impact T-Amp giant killer?
Gmood1...My 3 CarverPro ZR1600 amps do not have any significant "noise floor", but I did have to "diddle" more than usual to achieve this silence. Consider the following suggestions:1..Use the ground lift switches as required.2..Experiment with wh... 
Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer
M297904...It appears that Behringer has replaced all their digital processors with 96KHz devices, instead of the 48KHz units used in earlier models. It was out of a slight concern for high frequency performance that I spent the extra $150 for the ... 
Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer
Suits_me...I bought this thing as a RTA only, and noone can fault it in this role at this price. I can still bypass it in favor of my analog parametric equalizers, but at least on first listening it sounds fine full range. Where is this "common sc...

We really have two hobbies here. 1...Some people are music lovers, and just want a system that allows them to hear the music. They don't upgrade often.2...Some people are interested in the technology. They are always experimenting.There is no reas... 
what is noise floor?
All electronic equipment has some electrical output even when there is zero signal input, and this electrical noise becomes audible noise when a speaker is hooked up. Some people, particularly audiophiles, would say that what comes out when there ... 
About the preamp section of my integrated
Dust has remarkably little effect on solid state electronics, because the voltages are low and the circuits are high current low impedance. Tube electronics are a different matter, because of the high impedance high voltage circuitry. When the vol... 
Anyone else feel left out?
Talk is cheap. 
Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?
The connection made between inteligence and subjective opinions about audio equipment is troubling. You should consider that perhaps your brother is too smart to be swayed by hype. And vice versa. 
16 ohm speakers: Pros & cons
Audiokinesis.... Transformer taps are another issue. How about experimenting with a driver that has a split (dual) voice coil, that you can hook up in series or in parallel. This would take just about everything out of the comparison except the vo...
