Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system?
Enjoying music is what the hobby is about to me. I no longer give a damn about refinement.In fact, the more refined my system has become, the less I have enjoyed it.That's quite a statement, Grant. Can you say a little more -- why do you suppose m... 
Velodyne DD's flying out of owners' houses
I'd like to revive this thread and steer it in a different direction. I have looked at the DD manual online, but it's not clear to me how you connect these subs into 2-channel music systems (without LFE). Is it similar to REL (run a second set of ... 
Elvis Costello & Allen Toussaint
Wow! I saw them at the New Orleans Jazzfest in May, but it was mainly Tousssaint and his band with Elvis joining on vocals for a few numbers. No Imposters. Still, it was great. The title track to The River in Reverse is very powerful. And Toussain... 
Vince Welnick R.I. P.
Although my favorite era was actually pre-1972, I saw some great shows in all periods, including a few I really loved in 86 and 87. Just like audio, it's all so personal. 
Have you tried Red Wine?
Can anyone comment on how do these amps compare with other "Class D" or switching amps, such as the ICE, UcD, and Nuforce products? 
What are the specs of a full range speaker?
I think Shadorne is referring to equalization in the service of room correction. Which would apply as well to subwoofer equalization a la Velodyne or Vandy 5A. Do the Definitions have user-adjustable equalization? 
About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8
Bartokfan once listened to Wilson speakers at a dealership 5 years ago, which makes him an expert. 
Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system?
It does and I might try it, but doing so would completely bypass the Exemplar tubed output stage...and what would be the point? Kind of like bypassing the APL circuitry.Which is why separate DACs are making sense again, unfortunately. 
who surprised and who disappointed
Dave Alvin & the Guilty Men, Evelyn GlennieI'm speechless. 
Is Direct Drive Really Better?
Was that you, Alex? I felt so stupid, and it wasn't even the first time. 
is a rsl a rogers speaker?
Macrojack appeared in my dreams last night. When I woke this morning, there was a large pod by the bed, a pair of Druids in the living room, and Warrenh was fixing me a breakfast of scrambled tympanics.Jut kidding, fellas! 
is a rsl a rogers speaker?
Dan, I get more satisfaction from my wife than any loudspeaker.You wouldn't be saying that if you had a pair of Zu's! 
is a rsl a rogers speaker?
You could probably find just those units on eBay, Grant. Why not? See if you can get the satisfaction back!I think a lot of us are searching for a sound we once had with much more modest systems. On the other hand, as they say, things aren't as go...

I understand. If the Denon has a digital out, you might want to try that at some point, just to see if it makes a difference. 
Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system?
If I'm not mistaken, it's a digital EQ, so putting in the tape loop means it will have to perform AD and DA conversion. Placing it between transport and DAC avoids those extra conversions.
