| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Sounds like you're having fun, Jayboard. The flashing of the indicator when eq is switched in is because the boosted bands go beyond "digital zero." You can adjust gain of the eq module ("gain offset" in the utility menu) to prevent this - I have ... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Jayboard - I tried it both ways, and preferred the Monarchy ahead of the Behringer. All is not equal here, though, because by putting the Monarchy first I am converting formats to AES/EBU prior to the Behringer. It would be interesting to try addi... | |
| Theta Miles owners......Help. Reubent is right, I've done the same thing with no problems. | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Absolutely worth using. Mine replaced a z-Systems RDQ-1 in this system: Theta Miles > Monarchy DIP Classic > Behringer > Benchmark DAC1 > PS Audio PCA-2 > Bryston 3BSST > Paradigm S2 & ACI Titan subs. Used with digital I/O, i... | |
| Using Bad Recording to Evaluate a System Well, let me (sorta) take Yr44's side: I think it is useful to play bad recordings when evaluating a system - as long, of course, that you also use some really good recordings. Why? I think that there are many systems that sound fine on really goo... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP If you are including the low frequencies in the auto-eq, I think the problem is likely that there is relatively high and highly variable low-frequency background noise. You can reduce this problem by playing the pink noise at a high level during t... | |
| Speakers sound better without grilles? Depends on the speakers, but certainly many speakers do sound better without their grilles. Some manufacturers explicitly recommend removing the grilles for serious listening. Others (e.g., Paradigm) design their grilles to actually enhance disper... | |
| Quality Steppenwolf CD's The fairly recent "Gold" (2-disc anthology) has been remastered, and all the classic songs sound better than on my other Steppenwolf CDs, especially in the bass. | |
| NeoNewbie---Using unused speaker channels? No, that won't work, and would be likely to damage the amps. However, you may be getting somewhat more power on peaks than you would if you wer using the surround channels, since the limiting factor is likely the power supply. | |
| Vintage Speakers Yes, it was Design Acoustics. You'll find a little bit of info on this thread:http://audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=33632&highlight=design+acoustics | |
| What's your worst excuse for an upgrade I haven't upgraded for almost a month :) | |
| Audio Alchemy power station 3 specs I have a Power Station 3, but it does not have 4-digit model number, unless you're referring to something inside the case. I have a Power Station 4 as well (several actually), which was the standard supply for a number of AA components and is inte... | |
| Do you remember your first cd? My first CD was a gift - Bach harpsichord sonatas - received about a year before I had a player (1984). | |
| Monarchy DIP/Unsampler boxes effective tweak? I bought a DIP Classic primarily for its s/pdif to AES/EBU conversion, but found to my surprise that it significantly improved the sound in my setup (Theta Miles > DIP > z-Sytems RDQ-1 or Behringer DEQ2496 > Benchmark DAC1). Not a night-a... | |
| Unbalanced to balanced adaptor I see that I accidentally posted the same link twice, sorry. The actual link with the technical info is this:http://www.rane.com/note149.html |
