| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers My understanding is that most footers are intended to somehow channel resonances into whatever is underneath. In contrast, the Stillpoint is only loosely coupled to the underlying support. Vibrations are said to be dissipated within the Stillpoint... | |
| Digital room correction, any recommendations? I've had the DEQX in my system now for several years. We decided not to implement the active crossover feature, which would have required opening the speaker and disconnecting the passive crossover. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Your point is well taken. On the other hand, what does the Stillpoint contribute in the case of a state-of-the-art cost-no-object speaker design? I think that the designers of said speakers would consider their choice of footer to be intrinsic the... | |
| $3000 alternatives to Decware Zen Torii tube amp? Yes Charles, in terms of tonal purity and extension the Torii competes with the Wavac. Its also just as quiet, which amazes me at this pricepoint. Advantages of the Torii: 25 watts versus 10, adjustable impedance, adjustable bass and treble contro... | |

| Unbalanced hearing I agree that an audiogram is important for many of us. I've had two in the past five years.I'm going to give the Behringer FBQ1502 a try. Seems like a no-brainer at $100. I'll report back with the results. | |
| Does it bother you? Great thread, its refreshing to hear from someone with a non-audiophile music-industry background. Let's face it: although we appreciate great music, we also like our toys. You could draw an analogy with watch-collectors. Aren't those mechanical m... | |
| Unbalanced hearing Thanks for those responses. I've played with the balance control on my preamp, but it doesn't work for me in a satisfying way. I use a Deqx processer, but it doesn't allow for independent channel compensation. Bojack, can the Behringer boost the t... | |
| $3000 alternatives to Decware Zen Torii tube amp? I've lived with the Zen Torii now for a few months, and its a world-class amp. Liquid midrange, clarity and extension, sounding every bit like a top-notch SET amp. The value to price ratio is insanely high. I would put this amp up against the Wava... | |
| Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears? Nstigator, What if any is your connection to this company? If there is none, please describe your experience with the product. Short of this, I can tell you that your claim seems far-fetched to say the least. | |

| Does it bother you? As flawed as the recording process may or may not be, it produces something with lots of low-level information. The playback system has to be significantly better in all regards, or else losses will occur in the playback. Regarding distortion, man... | |
| Anybody have an actively multi-amplified system? Speaker and amplifier designers are invested in the status quo. The proof is that there is no real push to go in the active direction from the equipment designers, even though the results would be superior to what they now produce.I own the TAD Re... | |
| Anybody Using Room Correction? How goes it? I use the DEQX HDP4. With it (and room treatments) I am able to use full-range speakers and dual subs in a small room with great results. I could get the frequency response to be ruler-flat from 25 Hz to infinity if I wanted, with the DEXQ. Anothe... | |
| Redbook Digital Can Sound Great -- On Occassion I don't have that CD, but I agree that CD sound has the potential to be excellent, and certainly up to par with even the finest modern equipment, which essentially makes high resolution digital irrelevant. To say nothing of vinyl. And here's a her... |
