| Repair or Replace mid-range driver for B&W M804 Sunnyday...I have no idea what the mid driver of the B&W 804 is. If you find it is a BN-1501 I have one that needs a good home. | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP RTA page 1 MAX and RANGE are just so you get a good display and will not have any effect on the EQ. You want to select MAX so that the display never hits the top, and you want to set the RANGE so that there will be something to see even during qui... | |
| Repair or Replace mid-range driver for B&W M804 If the driver is a BN-1501, have I got a deal for you! | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Streetdaddy...I realize that the white noise SPL is not displayed on the autoeq screen. The 85 dB (approx) that I suggest is based on measurement using my Radio Shack meter. I don't think that the exact level is critical, but to minimize the effec... | |
| Leave tube amp on all day? Some tube equipment has a mode where only the filiaments are left energized, perhaps at slightly reduced voltage. It is always desirable to turn on filiaments before gradually bringing up plate voltage, but I don't know any audio amps that are thi... | |
| Can a high end sound from mid-level gear? Spatial effects are quite separate from sonic fidelity, and can be produced with lousy-sounding equipment. My first experience with stereo was simultaneous AM and FM broadcasts on WQXR New York using commonplace "table" radios. Lousy fidelity, but... | |
| Is balanced necessarily better? Serus..."Twice the signal and twice the noise" is more accurate than "Twice the signal (period)" which is the common misconception that I wanted to correct. Complementary circuitry will reject common mode noise on the signal and distortion, for ex... | |
| Channel Islands D-200 or Ayre V-5Xe??? I own five CIA D200 (because the first three were so good). Denjo's observations about the D200 are accurate. The only thing I know about the Ayre is that it costs twice as much. | |
| Is balanced necessarily better? Nsgarch...Twice the signal and twice the noise. The only thing that matters is the signal-to-noise ratio, and this will be exactly the same for single ended or complementary circuitry, assuming the inverted signal circuit path performs the same as... | |
| Is balanced necessarily better? Nsgarch...Twice the signal, and TWICE THE CIRCUIT NOISE. Somehow people forget the latter. Balanced interconnects are less sensitive to noise pickup IN THE WIRES, but that is not usually a problem with home audio. | |
| Do Audiophiles really like music? Cwlondon...One of my favourite LP's is a test record that has a so called "silent groove" selection. It's fun to crank the volume up, boost the bass, and soak up that awesome rumble. | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Ecruz...What if the Squeezebox is turned on and in the room but not connected to the audio system? It apparently radiates a signal, and maybe that interferes with the Behringer. Why don't you talk to the Squeezebox service people. | |
| 4 ohm vs 8 ohm taps inpepinnovations@aol.com...Have a nice day. | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Ecruz...The Behringer has a "hard bypass"...you can turn its power off, and the signal will pass through it without any analog or digital processing. Try leaving all the wires connected and shutting the Behringer power off and see if the problem g... | |
| THE LATEST---Gold plated fuses? Uppermidfi...For the ultimate results, (so they say) fuses must be bypassed (eliminated). Perhaps they will bypass the circuit breakers as well. And how about the wattmeter. Bypassing that will also save money (until they catch you). |
