Behringer DEQ mods?
Umm, well the mid level upgrade has a smoother presentation, but is a bit more laid back, you will lose a tiny bit of gain, like the voltage out is slightly different or something with the different op amps, but it does sound a bit sweeterÂ… The ba... 
I know this is heresy, but...
Shadorne, by the way I just saw your setup, and being everything is like flush mounted, and other issues being inside the walls etc.. with a pretty good sized area, and very Hard walls built around everything, you would be almost forced to maybe t... 
I know this is heresy, but...
Shadorne, actually I have a similar trap to the realtraps, its from Gik, and it works pretty well when you span the corner as a hemholtz type should.. Cleaner response, way better Vocals in my experience, its weird but it cleaned up the lower midr... 
Am I the only one purchasing hybrid disc's.......
Sad issue is I have had some stuff that I got on hybrid, ran in SACD, and then my friend had very recent redbook remasters from around 2002' up for the same disc, and in SACD vs. the remastered Redbook the Red sounded more dynamic, had better bott... 
I know this is heresy, but...
Warnerwh, I do understand where you are coming from.. It is amazing how much we will spend on gear, gear, and More gear! But gets tuff to justify 500 or 1000.00 on room treatments. Well I myself was not capable of doing much before recent due to f... 
First round of auditions disappointing
Yeah well what I am gonna say does not matter at this point, but as stated above I could make a pair of 50 dollar sony bookshelfs in a bedroom sound better than anything you probably witnessed at dealers, showroom, or hotelsÂ… You need to find one ... 
Most Impact on Sound Stage/Imaging?
Well Crossovers done right will have the most influence on actual sound, but the cabinet will be semi important for better more solid clean transients, especially at higher volume... Drivers if they are good can be way better if on very good cross... 
Behringer DEQ mods?
Well I have the highest version of it now costing about 400 from them.. it has mundorf coupling caps, better opamps, several other caps and mods thru pacific valve, I like it a lot, very smooth and musical, very close to analog, basically it is be... 
Behringer DEQ mods?
Yeah you will be hard pressed to get better sound out of an inline equalizer changing caps or power supplies etc.. I use a more costly unit than the behringer by DBX, it is smooth as glass and does not add anything when on or off in the sound, so ... 
I know this is heresy, but...
Shadorne, good catch... Yeah I would bet fact is the richness and harmonic resonance of vinyl is in fact part of the whole equation.. However I have been lucky as of recent to find the miracle of room acoustics, I just treated my whole room with K... 
Most Impact on Sound Stage/Imaging?
Fix the room, amazing results.. I just did it and its like adding a whole new system. The room is a system in itself period. 
turntable location??
Hmm, well if there is enough space to safely use it and you just need to remove the dust cover it should be fine, but I have done this with mine for rumble feedback etc.. as you say, use sound damping sheets everywhere possible, on the bottom of t... 
Mundorf Silver/Gold in Oil Supreme Caps Any Good?
Good Job the Silver Oil = AIR exactly.. That is why I thought the Move to anything less including the standard mundorfs have much less effect of anything special. 
Mundorf Silver/Gold in Oil Supreme Caps Any Good?
I know the Silvers are far better in my opinion than the Jensen Coupling oil silver caps I used in the past, but not sure about the 4 pole or whatever the other variation is. 4 pole is for like power supplies or something right? I don't think 4 po... 
Zu Gede: Opinion, Impressions, Comparisons??
I have it on all my analog sections... I is a top notch quality built cable.It sounds Very smooth, very spacious, and no compression, their Varial interconnect is a bit more stingy sounding I believe.. It will be possibly a tad more revealing whic...
