Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Tvad...The clipping when digital data from a 16 bit CD is input to the 24 bit DEQ2496 is certainly unexpected. Perhaps Behringer can tell us how they load 16 bit data into their 24 bit machine. If it is truly the input that clips I suspect that th... 
NEED HELP about Magnepan speaker
The most important thing to realize is that the higher price of the 3.6 does not automatically mean that it is better in your application. Some folk (I am one) actually prefer the QR tweeter, for the reason mentioned by Tireguy (it represents comm... 
Pick your poison...2-channel or multi?
To summarize my view, in order of importance...1..A center channel does wonders for imaging of the very-important soloist, vocal or instrument.2..Surround channels give new dimension (pun) to two types of music. a. Intimate classical chamber music... 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Tvad...I still suspect that your clipping is internal to the DEQ2496 (clip limiter) as a result of equalization. A 16 bit digital word input really can't saturate a 24 bit D/A unless your processing has led to an output of more than 16 bits.If thi... 
subwoofers and panels don't mix
"crossed over at 35Hz" !!IMHO, a subwoofer that can't go higher than that, unloading the main speakers, is just as bad as one that can't go lower than 35 Hz. Sometimes audiophiles seem to get into a contest as to whose SW is crossed over lower. It...

Tvad...Unmusical? Check out RAM mods for the DEQ2496. 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
As I understand it, you are lighting up the red LED while using the digital input. The digital data is as it comes straight off the disc, so there is no way to attenuate it. I assume that the MSB of the 16 bit CD word is treated as the MSB of the ... 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
The difficutlty of manufacturing a Walsh driver is something that I believe could be resolved by good reengineering.In my former life as an aerospace engineer, we worked closely with a university lab who were the primary designers of very sophisti...

"assuming preamp does not increase current to maintain constant output voltage". This would only be the case if the preamp lacks feedback. 
does output quality change when amp bridged?
When an amp is bridged it will generally deliver more power than when it is driven stereo into two similar impedance loads. For example one 8 ohm load bridged, vs two 4 ohm loads. This is because when bridged the two channels are operating out of ... 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Shadorne...I have noted that while it may take a lot of effort to get it figured out, once you do that it is easy to use. 
Empire Turntables New in Box-Worth Anything?
Gregjcastro...Out of nostalga, I bid on one recently on EBay. I quit at $300...don't know what it finally went for.The thing is very simple, and the belt and possibly the arm wiring are about all that can be a problem. Make sure that the arm beari... 
Is a good Cermic Cartridge an Oxymoron?
Zaikesman...Alright already! Back on 4/17 my posting was all wet. My relative ignorance about ceramic cartridges proves I am a real audiophile. 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Drubin...I agree. I think that the problem is partly due to the manual being a translation from German, but mostly because it is written for pro sound people who are pretty savy, and explanations which would be helpful for the average audiophile a... 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Tvad..."betweeen 3db and 1 db depending on the recording". If you are looking at a stereo recording it is normal for the two channels to be different. To determine if the Behringer channel gains differ you need a mono CD (or a test CD like the one...
