| Safe way to change cables with tube amp on... The resistor would theoretically avoid the no-load condition that might damage the amp. However, human error while you are messing around with the wires remains a hazard. Why risk it? | |
| 33 vs 45 speed quality Zaikesman...You have come up with so many ways that compression is used that, contrary to what we often see stated, it must be a good thing! I don't think that Peak Limiting is arcane...it's just a gain reduction that is applied only when the sign... | |
| RCA Out To AES/EBU In To DAC Your digital source is probably S/PDIF format. AES/EBU is the professional format. I don't know the details, but they are not the same. However the Behringer DEQ2496 manual says "The AES/EBU interface is largely compatible to the popular S/PDIF in... | |
| 33 vs 45 speed quality Zaikesman...My view about DBX records is biased, in that I actually have some. (But the decoder died about ten years ago and I have never fixed it). It is too bad that I can't suggest how you might have this experience. The audio quality is superb... | |
| 33 vs 45 speed quality Zaikesman...The DBX compression/expansion process was not a problem because DBX designed both ends. Master tapes for most LPs are made using DBX processing which is considered to be better than Dolby, the other method. So if there is any problem y... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Hudsonhawk...Yes. The DEQ2496 can walk and chew gum. | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Dmitrydr...Have you tried it? Refinement is not price. If you insist, RAM will mod your DEQ2496 to the ultimate of refinement, with output through silver wire Swiss audio transformers, for about a grand. And what's the point of a superb system, if... | |
| 33 vs 45 speed quality Zaikesman...Interesting ideas about effect on surface noise. I'm not so sure about the "dynamic slam". We are agreement about remastering for the audiophile market.Have you ever listened to a phono signal without RIAA equalization? (You do this wi... | |
| How do you clean CD/DVDs ? You don't need to clean CDs, although some audiophiles, suffering vinyl withdrawal, can't resist the urge. | |
| Linear Tracking Turntables Sony PS-X800. Not only Linear tracking but "Biotracer" vertical servo as well. Good luck finding one! | |
| 33 vs 45 speed quality On the outer grooves of a 33 there is no real advantage to the higher speed, although 45s might sound better for other reasons simply because they are produced for the audiophile market. However, as the pickup moves to the inner grooves the speed ... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Bartokfan...If you were really interested in the best sound you would get a different listening room (or wife) :-) I never owned the original Ohms, but I agree with Sean that they are (alas, were) the best. | |
| whats your idea of loud music. Tvad...If you customarily have 100-105 dB at you listening chair you will soon find that 125 dB is "pretty good". | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Goatwuss...Why do you ASSUME that there will be audible "negative effects" which need to be outweighed by room correction? If your system is good enough to worry about this sort of thing the $350 cost of the DEQ2496 and mic will be a trivial expen... | |
| Behringer DEQ 2496 help You should be able to play a (any) CD from beginning to end, and, using the METER display which logs the peak level, see a peak level for the whole CD at about -6dB, or less. (That's dB down from CLIP). Most of the time the -20 dB green LEDs shoul... |
