| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Yes, a little "work" to set up, but not so much trouble to use. I probably will only have a treble boost, a bass boost, and a warmth boost as tone controls. (Those boost modules can function inversely as cuts, since the DEQ allows you to subtract ... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Racarlson, Thanks very much for your response. All systems are different, but for now your experience will do nicely as an excuse for me not to go to the trouble of trying my DIP fore and Aft of the Behringer DEQ. That, and the fact that if I want... | |

| Which way to go? Airport Express or USB interface Ghunter's post has some useful clarifications. Also, Airport Express does not "convert everything to Apple Lossless." iTunes converts everything to Apple Lossless, _if_ it is being used to wirelessly stream audio data to AEx. But this is kind of a... | |
| DAC for multiple CD players? Northstar Model 192 DAC has four digital in's. Line 1 has a coax jack and toslink jack; your choice which to use. Line 2 is coax. Line 3 is AES/EBU. Line 4 is IS2. | |
| Corner treatment -- PZCs a sure thing? Thanks, Mejames, I hadn't come across that article. | |
| Corner treatment -- PZCs a sure thing? Thanks, I was thinking about trying Eighth Nerve if I went the pillow route. Mejames, would you care to describe a little bit how you went about tuning your PZC's-- what was the basic method as you went around and tuned the various pieces (looks l... | |
| iMac - iTunes problem Sfar, that's great! Yes, it's baffling why the preferences file would affect sound quality. iTunes is a strange and wonderful beast. | |
| iMac - iTunes problem Sfar, here's one thing to try (hope it works--I don't know another thing to try). BTW, if you can play the same files through iTunes from another user account without distortion, this almost certainly is the problem. The iTunes preference file can... | |
| iMac - iTunes problem Using the iMac's own DAC and its headphone jack is not going to produce hifi sound, but on the other hand, for out-of-the-box computer sound, that G4 sounds darn good. You should not be experiencing any overt distortion like you describe. Please t... | |
| Tips for tagging classical rips? I put the artist in the Artist field and the composer in the Composer field. In the album field, I put both the composer and the name of the work. I use an abbreviated composer name if the name is long (since the full name already is in the Compos... | |
| Best DAC under $2K I've had the Northstar 192 for a number of months. I bought it based only on my reading--I did not listen to any other DACs--so I can't give you an informed opinion. I just decided to live with it for an extended period and see what I thought. I d... | |
| Linn Components I really like Linn gear, too, and have had the Majik, the Karik and the Sekrits, which are fabulous little speakers. What I don't like is that Linn USA won't deal directly with customers on service issues; you have to go through a dealer. Kind of ... | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? Tomryan, ain't no crime gettin' a good buzz on. But where I come from, dating yourself could get you arrested. No funny stuff, hear? | |
| I Can't Stop Playing This Song Judasmac, I should have used a smirk emoticon after my "poignant" comment. |
