| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? Rives,Thanks for the thumbs up! You undoubtedly know a lot more about this than I do, since you build the well known and highly praised PARC. Jlambrick,FWIW, I haven't encountered a problem with the Behringer PEQ (I actually have the Feedback Dest... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers Active speakers do not have crossovers in the traditional sense (where up to half the energy is absorbed in a passive filtering circuit and with all kinds of associated phase issues). Add active speakers to your list to audition and you may be sur... | |
| does anyone sharpie thier CD's??? There is no plausible explanation why it should sound louder. In order to add loudness you would need to add MSB (most significant bits) to the data being read from the CD. This would also require changing the appropriate bits in the error correct... | |
| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? What mid bass frequencies are you tryind to tame?As far as I am concerned, notch filtering is only effective below 100 HZ. Above 100 Hz the problem of room size comes into play. 100 Hz = roughly 10 feet of wavelength, which means the distance betw... | |
| Cables under the rug..... Why not do it through the wall properly...with receptacles? If you are handy with a giprock saw and a screwdriver you could make a neat job of it. As long as you are dealing with signal wires (no 120 VAC) you don't need an electrician. Just my two... | |

| Clarinet Music on vinyl or CDs Opalchip may be well be right about Michaelson's Clarinet playing....I just liked the recording that is all. I don't think I ever got skilled enough at Clarinet to recognize a great player from simply a very good one. Just my two cents... | |

| Harman/Levinson/Proceed/Lexicon/Revel/ Deal Busted Private Equity has kind of worked like flipping houses in an up market....many players with no intention of remining as owners for any significant length of time...i.e. many speculators that should not be in the market and who are just looking for... | |
| The Irrational But Efficacious CD Tweak Well, amazing results happened in my system:1) Great increase of transparency/clarity.2) The soundstage got bigger with more layering.3) Macrodynamics/slam /jump improved. This is normally the sort of thing you can only get by with an amp upgrade... | |
