| Soundstage - when wide is too wide You do not mention what EQ you are using, but the Behringer DEQ 2496 has a stereo width function that allows you to make the soundstage wider or narrower. For the most part, you are at the mercy of how the source material was recorded. | |
| New 16 12 room - direction? When I had 5i's the set up was Audio Research pre, all MIT cabling and Classe amplification. | |
| PS Audio Bridge - simple question I would ask this question on the PS Audio forum.FYI, there is talk of a Bridge II in the works. | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 My recommendation may have been overlooked as to its relevance, ARC made several active balanced line converters specifically to address the same issue you are having. The BL-1 and BL-2 balanced line converters. While these are out of production, ... | |
| DAC Burn-In Question Neal,I am running a BDP-1 into a Direct Stream.I am without words to describe the sound.My opinion is that burn in will be 90% at around 500 hours.That last 10% will develop very slowly.Do not hesitate to run your amps directly with it.Be prepared... | |

| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 If the issue is related to driving the REF 150 SE instead of balanced, perhaps one of the early Audio Research single ended to balanced converters would solve the problem? | |

The female pin clips fit the male posts in the base of the arm. I suspect that you could acquire some XLR female clips an... | |
| Avantgarde Trios too loud with my amps You could try some Rothwell fixed attenuators or Endler adjustable attenuators.You could try them between your source and pre or pre and amps. | |
| Avantgarde XLR subwoofer connection Yes, actually 2 pair of the SUB225s with the Duo Omega.I run from my pre to a Behringer DEQ2496 ( for bass correction ) then to a Y adapter to feed the signal to each sub. | |
| AC Power Line Upgrade -- For electricians Well, you don't mention the exact location of your panel.Yes, you can install any number of outlets next to your panel.Be certain that they are all connected to the same phase.Since they are for your audio equipment "ONLY", I would consider them t... | |
