How a turntable is like a gym membership
I'm too lazy for red book CD's where I had to change discs after only listening to 1-2 songs. So I got a CD burner and record only my favorite songs. Being dual well, I can:1) Switch CD's and listen for over 2 hours without fiddling with the CDB.o... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Throwing money at high end audio (or most things for that matter) does not gaurantee anything. I've heard plenty of uber-expensive stereos that sound horrible.The rich, being that they are rich, aren't not buying because of a lack of money.How man... 
Epos ES14 vs. Neat Motive 2
Not in my room to my ears. Switching over from Epos M15 to single driver full range was "ear opening". YMMV. 
If upgrades were no longer possible would you be
FIRST:Even if nothing new was available I still continue with upgrades as I discover the benefits of things which already exist which I did not know about.SECOND:Most "upgrades" are nothing more than just churning of existing products. This happen... 
Epos ES14 vs. Neat Motive 2
Poly cone does not blend with aluminum tweeter.Sounds like 2 different speakers put into 1 box. 
Supratek in business again....
Electrocompaniet is back in business now too :-)) 
Behringer DEQ2496 - wow
Paul, is that true even with digital EQ?Well, I guess my system is resolving then. I tried it 2 ways. First flat EQ with the Behringer in and out of the system. Second using the EQ on my Denon UD-M31 and comparing to the Behringer.Interesting how ... 
Behringer DEQ2496 - wow
Lewinskih01, I don't have a DAC so I am stuck with analog for now.My comments:"I am a little disappointed that, while the DEQ does not add colorations per se, it does add a slight haze to everything. Sound is slightly less clear, less crisp, and a... 
I know this is heresy, but...
Eldartford, if I follow you it is better the way I have it - in analog mode between CDP and preamp? Using my CDB's digital output instead, the DEQ2496 DAC sounded horrible. My ear was hurting (like my B&W's) within 5 minutes. Guess I'll have t... 
Behringer DEQ2496 - wow
I found the Behringer DAC to be thin, bright, sibilant. Brings out the worst in CD sound. 
I know this is heresy, but...
Can someone tell me if the DEQ2496 connected between the CDP and preamp is worse than between pre and power amp?I am a little disappointed that, while the DEQ does not add colorations per se, it does add a slight haze to everything. Sound is sligh...

Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Can they put a remote control on the LSA? I'm lazy. 
Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line
Just re-inventing the wheel.Dan if you're out there, how about something innovative like hi-rez music on flash memory with no moving parts like in some netbooks now? 
Good Sound under $500
Denon53, you might want to start a thread about phase plugs. What I can suggest is:1) Seas likes them because it reduces air pressure build up behind the driver so it moves more freely. May not be important if the x-over point is under 1,500 Hz.2)...
