| Emerald Physics 2.3 Crossover Questions Give Ric Schultz at EVS (Electronic Visionary Systems) in Calif. a call, he can likely help, at the very least with info. He also does mods for the Behringer which will take the stock performance of the DCX to another level if that's what you want... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 Modification Ric Schultz at EVS (Electronic Visionary Systems) in Calif. can help you. I believe his all-out mod (for stereo and multi-channel) is around $1700, with many partial options available. Customer comments are on his site. The sound is said to be unb... | |
| New Room Long wall or short wall? FWIW, something else occurred to me about the long wall setup (which I've been enjoying many years now). There is known to be an audible comb-filtering effect from the rear wall the closer you sit to it. What I believe is generally not often taken... | |
| New Room Long wall or short wall? By all means experiment to be sure, as it will largely be a matter of preference on most points, but the long wall can offer better sound, particularly in smaller rooms IME. Also in a small room it may depend on how far your rig is projecting an i... | |
| dedicated power line for audio equipment Whatever wire guage you use, as long as you have any say in it, don't let them staple the wire to the 2x4's inside the walls - the usual consrtuction practice and not a very sound-friendly thing to do. Work out some other solution that neither use... | |
| beginner budget set up Nat, where are you located?? Are there any HiFi salon's located with driving distance? You may just want to go just for the sake of wrapping your own 2 ears around some of the lowest priced gear out there and see for yourself if any magic can be f... | |
| Will An Attenuator Help Reduce This Hiss? If it were me I'd shy away from buying an attenuator until going over the entire system architecture from top to bottom and, as thoroughly as possible, give it the full measure of attention paid to impedence and gain matching that (from what you'v... | |
| Bookshelf speaker with electrostatic sound VMPS 626 JR?? You can find them used, typically under a thousand. | |
| Dac suitible for both bookshelf and floorstanding The new DACMagic...?? $650 | |
| Dedicating circuits and fancy power outlets I think Elizabeth has it right in a nutshell. I'm supposing, at least, this is why so many people have relative success with it: it gets rid of other devices on the AV circuit. No, in reality here, there's really no such thing as circuit isolation... | |
| Preamp or power amp has more impact to resolution? There is always one (big) thing you can do about preamp/amp resolution downstream...power conditioning. Elizabeth is quite right about that. | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Ric can be contacted at his website EVS audio (Electronic Visionary Systems) and his location is in California. From there you can email or just phone him as I do. You'll find Ric very easy to talk to about anything. Just make sure with him (or me... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Sorry River251, just noticed your Q above about an actual HiFi-quality parametric. What I use is a Ric Schultz-modified Behringer DEQ-2496. Have a rather minimalist 2.0 system: Onkyo carousel changer as transport, out to a Monarchy DIP Combo, out ... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? River251, for bass below 200hz try checking out the Cathedral Sound Panels. They are not absorption panels but instead work on the venturi principle which says that a gas moving through a small opening will speed up which in turn is related to pre... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? I tend to side with Zman here. The usual sorts of room treatments likely won't amount to much more for you than a band-aid type of fix at best. If it were me and not knowing your budget limitations, I might consider, until you can get a better roo... |
