I "hate" graphic equalizers.Using a sound processor is the way to go.So much more they can accomplish.No slides, just a few pots for setup, quick and easy with results.However with the right speaker systems in place I dont use it anymore.At one stage I was running 3 pairs of large stereo speakers on ML+MR with 26 drivers in total.After a few tweeks and removing one pair, replacing them with jbl control 1 pro's i am down to 14 drivers, all different size.They all compliment each other filling the audio spectrum...no gaps.I had to do this when i reworked the home, took the carpets out and ended up with a hollow echo.All sorted and sit back after a hard day in the electronics workshop with a few frosties streaming the DMX digital audio channels from our sat provider, hardly watch tv anymore .Regards 44ct357 CT SA.
Top Ten "Reasons I Don't Like This Component"
Many of us have had the short term experience of demoing or acquiring a piece of gear that, when we installed it in our systems, we soon realized that it wasn’t going to work.
An example I recently cited was after home demoing a CJ 17LS preamp years ago. I couldn’t stand the banging sound of the volume relays while adjusting. The unit sounded fine enough musically but this particular feature was intolerable.
What other features or quirks of components have you had similar experiences with over the short term? I’m not talking about chronic upgraditis, which most of us are afllicted with, just short term experiences that make us say, "this does not work for me."
No need to list ten reasons, just one or two. I'll keep a tab on them and summarize later.
