Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Tvad...How do you measure the imbalance? Did you create it by your EQ curve? 3 dB would be a fault condition for the electronics. 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Tvad...I never tried the stereo autoEQ. My impression is that it just transfers results measured for one channel to the other one. That doesn't sound right to me. Perhaps it drives both channels for the measurement. Is that so? (Now it's your turn... 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Tvad...I do each of my five channels separately (I have three DEQ2496). The EQ curves for the five speakers are quite different, although they are identical models. 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Tvad...You don't need to select the noise as input. Doing the EQ thing automatically turns it on. The input for EQ is the mic (obviously). 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Both inputs can be hooked up. You select which to use via the I/O screen. 
Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system?
Dmitrydr...Actually, it is worth the price just for the RTA, even if you do not put it in your signal path. I originally bought it for that purpose, but learned through experience how good it sounds, and how much improvement to the overall system ... 
Not wasting my time on new Digital
I'm not sure that digital is a waste of time without multichannel, but it is true that MC is the greatest factor for improvement over analog (for us poor guys who don't have $80,000 LP playback gear). In particular, for someone who will not instal... 
SACD/DVD-A/ETC
The sonic quality of both formats has the potential to be superior to CD, but the recording and mixing of the particular disc is very important. Some CDs sound better than some DVDA, but this is not the general case.The most valuable aspect of SAC... 
Not wasting my time on new Digital
Viridian...Your question, "Where, as you assert, did I say that sounds 10 to 20db below what is audible are things that you should "care" about?" is one that I cannot answer because the posting has been (conveniently) deleted.Thanks for the link. ... 
Not wasting my time on new Digital
Viridian...Please explain why I should care about sounds that are ten to twenty dB softer than what is audible. Unlike many sonic characteristics that are near to the heart of audiophiles, dynamic range is very easy to measure. Have you ever actua... 
Not wasting my time on new Digital
Viridian...I have a test CD (put out by Dennon) that has a track with a tone having amplitude of one LSB. It is completely inaudible, although my spectrum analyser, looking at the electrical signal, picks it up so I know it is there. I don't much ... 
33 vs 45 speed quality
Tbg...You need a vintage record changer :-) 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
As I recall the driver was made of metal for a couple of inches at the top (near the voice coil) and this part of the driver supplied the high frequencies. In other words, the HF did not propogate all the way down the cone. So, although there is n... 
Caps as high-pass filters
If you just use one capacitor the slope will be 6dB/octave.IMHO, a lousy idea. 
33 vs 45 speed quality
Tbg...Returning to the topic...no doubt that your 45 rpm issues sound better than 33 rpm versions. However, except for the inner groove problem that I mentioned, I think that the improvement results from other aspects of the production rather than...
