| how do you trear rooms to bring up the null points Any treatments applied near boundaries to reduce peaks due to room modes will also raise nulls because they are both fed from the same energy source. There are tuned absorbers which you can read about at www.realtraps.com http://www.quietconcepts.... | |
| Bitstream of PCM on my DVD player PCM. I do not thing the PS DACs can handle bitstream.Kal | |
| Looking for a pre/processor Tough. The Marantz AV7005 (and supposedly the AV8003) might do. Do you have any need for analog inputs in the pre? If you do, the stakes really go up and I would be hard-pressed to recommend much in that price range that also had HDMI in/outs. Kal | |
| What does audisey adjust Audyssey MultEQ XT equalizes all the speakers including LFE in the sub. Also, the LFE "crossover" is entirely independent of the bass management that reroutes main channel bass to the sub. | |

| Coax vs. Toslink Audioengr wrote:Cable boxes have a different earth ground than the AC outlets. This is why I use a Jensen isolation transformer on the RF cable before it enters the cable box.But it doesn't have to be a different earth. It took 5-6 visits from cab... | |
| At what distance are balanced XLR cables needed? AFAIK, there are no such standards for unbalanced audio connections.Kal | |

| Grilles or No Grilles Airegin: I fully agree and that is the point I was trying to make in my first post.Kal | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? Listening is never monaural unless you put a finger in one ear. You always listen with both ears even to a single sound source. What you might be talking about is monophonic (meaning one source) + ambiance but, even then, that applies to a tiny pr... | |
| Beatles USB via Squeezebox Touch Using any drive directly into the SBT's USB input means that you are forced to use the tiny server software in the SBT rather than the one on the host computer. Interaction is sluggish and 24/192, fwiw, is not possible.Kal | |
| At what distance are balanced XLR cables needed? Mariv26: Anything over 3 meters, but I would still keep the interconnects as short as possibleI don't think you can make such a general recommendation. It really depends on the EMI environment. OTOH, if you believe that there are no potential disa... | |
| subwoofers w/room correction The Behringer has potential but (1) it is not built in as requested by the OP and (2) it also requires a competent external measurement system (e.g., REW) to calculate the necessary filters.Kal |
