| Analog vs. digital segment on PBS Regarding the finding that music on CDs usually peaks very close to 0 dB, this is an operation called Normalization. The track or tracks are scanned, the absolute peak is logged and the appropriate amount of gain is applied to bring it up to the m... | |
| Audiophiles vs DIY-o-philes I've tried on numerous occasions to generate some excitement in doing some DIY hotrodding, etc on this site. Personally, I haven't gotten much response. I think many (maybe most) members of Audiogon have much more disposable income than I and like... | |
| Pet audiophile peeves - name yours 1. Arrogant dealers2. If you have to ask, you can't afford it. | |
| are any of your friends audiophiles? My cousin is a music lover and has a modest system. He's a master carpenter and actually sometimes builds recording studio spaces. Yet when I showed him my system, I almost had to beg him to sit in the sweet spot, like he was afraid he'd like it t... | |
| whats wrong with ebay? The strength of Ebay is the vast selection of hard to get items. The weakness is the dispute system. I've had a bad experience there too and the indifference that Ebay shows is infuriating. | |
| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? Thanks for all the responses. It might indeed be worthwhile to buy the Behringer for the sole purpose of being able to see what I'm up against.The PARC looks like an amazing piece of equipment. Still beyond my budget at this point. I have some con... | |
| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? Shadorne, I'm not absolutely sure what the frequencies are. I think there's a kind of large peak around 200 Hz. I've built bass traps that make the lower bass quite consistent around the room. My speakers are Infinity Preludes that I've separated ... | |
| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? Thanks Rene, that's very helpful.Jim | |
| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? Restock, I lost the last part of your message. Maybe what I want to do is possible with this unit after all. Ideally, I'd like to put the eq between my CD transport and DAC. I've modified a CD player using a reclocking circuit to provide a VERY lo... | |
| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? Good suggestions and definitely audiophile quality but unfortunately out of my price range. Is there anything in the several hundred dollar range? I'm thinking if I could notch out 3 or 4 trouble frequencies, I'd be set as long as the clarity of e... | |
| Power conditioners Worth doing the math is right. Also, if your power amp is class A, the power conditioner does't have to respond to transients. Class A amps require a steady amount of current.My amp is class A/AB. It doesn't go into AB operation until the output p... | |
| Power conditioners I'm a brand new convert to the camp of power conditioning enthusiasts. In my previous home, the power must've been very good because I never heard any difference at all when adding power conditioning to the mix. However, my new home is pathetic in... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. I had a deep null in mid to low bass right where I wanted to sit. Then I noticed that the bass would almost blow your hair back in other parts of the room. I made a series of bass traps and I wouldn't have believed anything could be so effective. ... | |
| Insurance claim for shipping damage for Fedex Bearotti, I haven't had any experience with FedEx but I agree that UPS stinks when it comes to insurance claims. They completely destroyed a tywriter I sold on Ebay for $40. It took forever to get the claim and when I did get it, it didn't include... | |
| Tubes... what do they do?... Transistor amps generally have a very linear transfer function (until they clip). Transistor amps generally have a more 'S' shaped transfer function meaning that for low amplitudes, the gain is higher and for higher amplitudes, the gain tapers off... |
