| Too good to be true? .OK I found the book.The Professional Fenceby Carl B KlockarsPublished by New York Free Press (1974)Originally presented as the author's thesis, University of Pennsylvania.A very interesting read, even if you can't stomach the conclusions.. | |
| UcD vs TriPath Digital amps. I continue to enjoy my three CIA D200 amps, and have ordered two more for the surround channels. Nevertheless, it is hard to describe exactly what is so good about them. I am not a professional high end reviewer with fancy subjective words like "t... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Trelja...As I have commented before, I bought the thing just for the spectrum analyser, and I have analog parametric equalizers which I fully intended to use, based on the spectrum analyser data. But once I heard the DEQ2496 eq results I was hooke... | |
| Ring radiator tweeters - the future? Gmood1...The frequency range chart that you cite is for the fundamental tones. Harmonics do go to 20KHz and even higher. But I do agree with you that the low and mid range is most important, and a bad tweeter is worse than none at all. | |
| when shutting down my system the speakers squak Since the speakers are triamped you must (ought to) have an electronic crossover. This should be powered up and down with the preamp, not the power amps. | |
| Too good to be true? Dougmc...It's not "Eldartford's proposition" but rather an interesting idea that I submit for consideration. It is interesting precisely because it is so counterintuitive. The whole business of the fence goes far beyond his economic role...the May... | |
| HDCD a flash in the pan already?? Supposedly HDCD processing is a clever way to get resolution equivalent to 20 bits (instead of 16). Can't hurt, but why bother when straightforward 24/96 is available? I have heard that the basic HDCD technology is applicable to video, and that is... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Trelja...Digital algorithms can implement filters and other sorts of processing that are simply not possible with analog circuits. The Behringer has 24/96 A/D and D/A and a floating point DSP module, so forget about resolution. And all the bad thi... | |
| Too good to be true? Fatparrot...Perhaps the prices I quoted were a bit off, but the general idea should be clear. The professional fence has accounting techniques to keep his "inventory" looking clean. Incidentally, the fence's and thief's universally agreed referenc... | |
| Too good to be true? Elizabeth and other skeptics...I can understand your doubts. The overall positive effect of the fence on the economy (and social fabric)is entirely unexpected, and only becomes evident through objective in depth research and analysis. As I said I ... | |
| Too good to be true? Elizabeth...I will be sad for a few hours. Then I will cheerfully upgrade everything under my insurance policy, just as I did with TV sets, VCRs, Microwaves, etc. when my house suffered a lighting strike. In that instance the audio equipment was (... | |
| Recommended DVD-A Titles? Tvad...Are you multichannel? If so there are some really spectacular discs I could recommend. | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Mapleleafs3...I don't know if this is what you meant, but the DEQ2496 does have darned good A/D and D/A hardware, and if the Sony player's D/A is inferior the DEQ2496 could provide the DAC function, as well as all the other things it can do. Just ... | |
| Too good to be true? Maineiac...Yes, this fascinating doctoral thesis by an economics student considered everything. It was published in two volumes, one with the discussion, analysis and conclusions, suitable for layman readership, and a second volume with all the da... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP I read somwhere that Behringer service was poor. I guess that advice was all wet. |
