| behringer vs rives Plato,Agreed. However I was just trying to point out that a full fledged paremteric EQ is really for a power user and not for audiophiles that tend to spurn technology in favor of purity of signal path. After all, many audiophlies eschew simple to... | |
| behringer vs rives The Rives Parc if I recall correctly has 3 parametric bands that can cut bass peaks (but not boost the dips). Exactly....it is idiot proof. It will not ruin your sound like you can very easily do with a full fledged EQ. For example....you should ... | |
| behringer vs rives Rives is Analog whilst Behringer does things in the digital domain. The Behringer is a full paramteric equalizer it will overwhelm most people when trying to set it up and understand the width of filters according to Q etc. Behringer is better sui... | |
| What made you select "audio" as your hobby ...one day I heard the light. | |
| Need help with upgrade path Stubby, more ooomph Have you considered active speakers. At 5K just for just a power amp you are pretty close...you may not be aware of it but about half your power is lost in the passive crossovers... IMD issues aswell. If you want clean and loud... | |
| Flat screens? What 55dok says is absolutely spot on. I own BOTH plasma (Panasonic) and the latest Sharp Aquos (LCD) both in 42".The Panasonic plasma is by FAR the most realistic (even though it is TWO years older than the Sharp). I heavily regret the Aquos purc... | |
| Korg MR1000 as Analog Archiver BTW: The "Sizzle" on "Blues stay Away From Me" on the D2D Harry James is a better example of this style. (I have the JVC XRCD "Harry James and His Big Band".)Enjoy ;-) | |
| Attractive room treatment is it possible? I saw a post about a company that makes poster pictures with panels. I think you can choose an image. It was MrStark that posted this link.I have a installed a huge log fireplace that acts behind the listener as an RPG skyline diffuser and bass tr... | |
| Mac Leopard, iTunes, apple lossless best backup I use a software from Prosoft called Databackup.I program the Mac to wake up in the wee hours of the morning once a week and then schedule the backup just five minutes afterwards. It works fine and has saved me from a drive failure a couple of tim... | |
| Ceramic Coated Woofers It's normal. Is the oil fluid some form of viscous damping?Rigid ceramic drivers are notorious for ringing like a bell - so they normally need some form of control (an ugly notch filter in the crossover or those rubber "dots" you see on accutron ... | |
| Audio Physic speakers: where on the value scale? Very WAF friendly designs. Exceptional nice sound on acoustical music/female vocals. Some ringing with the ceramic drivers but exceptional imaging from the slim baffle. Great value, IMHO. | |
| A/D input levels with 24-bit - need to max out? I suggest you buy this Digital Audio Explained book.It explains it all clearly. It will cost you very little and it will put your mind at rest. An ordinary 16 bit CD has 96 db of dynamic range. 24 bits give you 144 db dynamic range (this is really... | |
| what advantage to switch mode P/S vs standard P/S Great post Kijanki.I would only add that they are noisy (produce EM/RF) and they may affect other sensitive digital equipment connected on the same mains circuit (SMPS tend to have less isolation from mains than conventional). | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. As I said a bunch or crap from a very old wind bag who thinks his opions matter but realy knows deep inside noone cares, like a scream in the dark, a last gasp...from the failing mind and ears of holt Wow, this just proves that Gordon Holt magic ... | |
| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? Chuck,What you say makes sense and matches my observations too. Active designs are a hard sell outside the pro world or outside of cheapo computer satellite speakers. People just don't understand the tremendous advantages in separating the audioba... |
