| I know this is heresy, but... Acoustics". That is my opinion also. A major transformation is often possible. Glad to hear of someone else enjoying their system in a good acoustical environment.If you don't have bass traps then they're also a very excellent improvement. You can... | |
| Most Impact on Sound Stage/Imaging? That's easy, Room Treatment! Until you've heard what a properly treated room sounds like you're missing a huge part of high end audio. | |
| I know this is heresy, but... audiophiles. Actually I don't know how many people have said that.The amount of destruction caused by the DEQ 2496 compared to the good it's capable of is negligable. After 35 years in the hobby I think I have a handle on what's important and what... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... The Behringer DEQ 2496 in my system is completely transparent. It also has helped sound improvements substantially. My room is already well treated being LEDE with four large bass traps, one in each corner.The rest of my system consists of VMPS RM... | |
| Two Subs Vs. One I use one sub but crossover very low, 45hz and run my speakers full range. The sub merely augments the RM 40's so the volume is very low. My speakers, VMPS RM 40's, have good powerful bass into the low 30's. I mean honest bass, not the bass that m... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496: Ease of Use If anyone can hear any less transparency using just the Behringer, not it's dac, I'd sure like to know how. I have a very resolving system and cannot hear any degradation whatsoever.The point is that most people are not using it properly. If you c... | |
| Has anyone tried HD radio? HD radio is a farse. It is compressed to mp3 or lower levels. Just like HDTV they are splitting up the bandwidth to offer more programming=more money!I've done alot of research on the subject and IBOC is in trouble. Stations across america have sw... | |
| How to improve? If you don't have acoustic treatments in your room your system doesn't sound nearly as good as it can. I mean it's not half of what it probably should be. If you have treated your room you may consider adding a TACT digital equalizer into it or ev... | |
| Planar to dynamic, dynamic to planar, or ... I love my VMPS hybrids. With a low bass woofer and a mid/upper bass woofer mated to planar mids and ribbon tweeters it seems to be the best of both worlds. Dynamics are excellent like cone speakers and the super transparency and imaging of planars... | |
| Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby? My father has to get credit here. He's the one who bought me some good speakers for my little fold out phonograph player. He enjoyed listening to his tube based stereo back in the sixties. The most important part of this is that I love music, I gu... | |
| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State Try a hybrid amp. Pathos, Blue Circle, Van Alstine are what you should try. | |
| brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good This is purely an absurd waste of bandwidth. I'd like to know how much time you spend on room acoustics? Room acoustics are a part of your system than can have very audible improvements. No offense but you got to be pretty bored listening to recep... | |
| Tweaks and upgrades that aren't gimmicks Room treatments, room treatments, room treatments. Great bang for your buck. Until you do this don't waste money on anything else in your system. This way you'll know what it should actually sound like. The difference can be and often is huge. | |
| Speaker Placement or Room There's no set rule on where to position your speakers. With the Vandys I'd stay close to what is recommended but you can angle them or whatever. EVERY room is different so you just do what you can.Room treatments can help alot. At least two bass ... | |
| High power rating=better speakers? Power rating is not related to speaker quality. A speakers sensitivity will also play a large role. In case you're not aware to increase the volume of your speaker 3db it takes double the power. 3db is barely noticeable. In other words a 200wpc am... |
