Sound lab - Eminent Technology - Innersound
Another helpful post from a great guy and a conscientious dealer, all wrapped up in one. Thanks for setting the example Duke : ) Sean> 
Behringer DEQ2496 - wow
Forgot to touch base on this, but the reason that they use pink noise is that it offers simultaneous full spectrum output for time-domain measurements. You can't do that nearly as quickly or effectively when using a frequency sweep. Pink noise is ... 
APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler?
I thought i remembered reading comments from Alex saying something to the effect that "upsampling does nothing" and is "strictly marketing", etc... Am i confusing him with someone else??? Sean> 
Is it worth purchasing the VPI 16.5?
Personally, i don't think that the innards are all that important. That is, so long as the unit gets the records as clean as possible, lasts a very long time AND is convenient to use. I think that most mass produced machines fail on the first and ... 
Subwoofer with 2 channel stereo setup
Gmood1: What if your "mains" were solid to well into the low 20's or even lower? Could you live without a sub then? That's why i said that it would be system dependent : ) Sean> 
Is SACD a dead format?
I was looking for some newer "redbook" releases that just came out this week, nothing fancy. Sean> 
Behringer DEQ2496 - wow
The Behringer is a cheap mic, lacks quality control and isn't "flat" according to the published spec's. As such, any / all of the readings that the unit processes is based on the irregular output of the mic that you're using as a reference source.... 
Behringer DEQ2496 - wow
This kind of device is a phenomenally handy "tool" and can also be used to compensate for very poor recordings. The fact that you can save various EQ curves and select them at the flip of a switch is very handy indeed. Got a disc that sounds "digi... 
Blu-Ray and HD DVD
Great info Albert and nice comedic touch "Gumby" : ) Sean> 
Subwoofer with 2 channel stereo setup
I agree with S7horton. That is, it will depend on the system, speaker / room interface and the type of music that you listen to. I would not consider it necessary unless you listened to a lot of bass heavy music at higher than average levels and /... 
Is it worth purchasing the VPI 16.5?
Tbg: better source material is beneficial to any system. Whether or not one can afford to buy "the best" type of cleaning system is something completely different than being satisfied with what they have or might be able to purchase : ) Sean> 
Is SACD a dead format?
Went to Best Buy today to pick up a few discs. Not only did i buy a couple of discs, but also picked up a Samsung DVD-HD841 that was on close-out. These are "universal" machines that play SACD, DVD-A, DVD's, CD's, etc.. This is basically the same ...

isolation transformer vs line conditioner
The more responsive the component is to power cord changes, the poorer the design of the power supply. Sorry if this was unclear. Sean>
