| Accounting for slight hearing loss I used one of these DEQ2496 EQ's between CD and DAC (AES or TOSLINK SPDIF in/out - all digital) and think that , especially with 12AU7 tubes in the path further down the line, that the EQ would be considered rather transparent. (Some experience in... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. thanks @johntoI was also thinking something like this.. if you do not mind...how far are your Maggies from the front wall ? | |
| Home made treatment to reduce Bass bloom or resonance in a room? If you can move your listening chair, try different listening distance positions along the center line between the speakers. | |
| Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers My guess is -12 at 40Hz would match my small room reinforcement somewhat perfectly.. thanks for the comments. I will put these on my short list.. | |
| Just picked up some Carver Amazings anybody famailiar with them? I had my originals Amazings (upgraded to the single Platinum drivers), fitted with an adjustable analog crossover and a 1.5t amp on each side bass and a B&K Sonata (iirc 200W per channel) for the ribbons. This offered a presentation that I thi... | |

| Naim and Elac Adante, Wow These are looking pretty good for me, as I have a warm/neutral setup currently with a NOS DAC, and 250 WPC amp.. with SS and tube preamp options...What do you think about nearfield use, like 2 meters ?This would be in a dedicated, single position,... | |

| Need a warm amp for bright speakers I fixed a similar problem (2 channel) by changing the source from various CD players to a dedicated laptop server and a NOS DAC from AudioGD. This allowed me to remove a digital EQ from the chain which was lopping off from 2 to 3db from various pa... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 as EQ Only? I am using Neutrik Impedance Transformers (on the XLR in/out digital connectors) to provide a 110-75 ohm conversion , then some BNC-RCA cables from Cullen Cable which then allows to connect equipment RCA to RCA SPDIF. This seems to me very transpa... | |
