| EQ before Preamp? OK, so I think I will go this way:Tuner > Preamp > Behringer EQ > Power Amp.So should that be ok? It helps because the Preamp output>Behringer Input and output/Power Amp imput path all use Balanced connectors. | |
| EQ before Preamp? I prefer the sound of an EQ.Thanks for the responses. In this system I will be using one source (Linn Kremlin Tuner). | |
| Why do amps sound different? Ktstrain, great posts. Very interesting. | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). My fave story involves that company everybody here loves - Bose. ;)You may recall the Bose vs Consumer Reports legal case where Bose sued CR because they stated in a review that the sound of a certain model of Bose speaker "wandered around the roo... | |

| Are tv's made in 4:3 aspect ratio any more? But one thing you can't change with a LCD monitor - you must run it at its native resolution or it looks bad.... | |
| Are tv's made in 4:3 aspect ratio any more? Yes, if they are 1) CRT's or 2) Small sets like less than 13" for example. Getting harder to find. Whats worse its getting harder to find Computer Monitors with 4:3 ratio. Widescreen good for movies, not so much so for PC's IMO. | |

| Anybody know the Descartes amp? Try Voltaire's Candide hybrid amp - "the best of all possible worlds" | |
| Reused Item Photos. Misleading? On a serious note - as suggested ;) - The copying of others auction photos was part of a major scam on eBay where they would use the photo of someone else's auction and then say "Don't contact us via eBay - email us direct" with offer to sell very... | |
| Reused Item Photos. Misleading? "And Kurt, when I said the amp was "near mint", I meant that it was on the shelf next to a mint amp."That reminds me of the story of the rich bank vice-president who has a 2nd story office directly over the vault. His assits over a couple million ... | |
| Why so expensive?? Sometimes it is better to look at other factors besides just the actual price. For example, I am in the lawn maintainence business (fancy way of saying I cut grass). My lawn mowers cost $10,000; $8500; and $3500. Some may baulk at that much for a ... |
