| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? 06: Dave_b...Mass production of DVD players has caused great improvement, and cost reduction, of D/A electronics. DVD players all benefit from this newer technology, even when playing CDs. Some years ago there was a quadraphonic LP system that req... | |
| EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one? Onhwy61...DEQ2494 also has parametric eq if that turns you on. Perhaps you can tell us exactly what is better about Tact equalization. Both the Tact and the Behringer do their operations in the digital domain, which can accomplish things that are ... | |
| EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one? Jafox...I am sure you know the saying..."don't judge a book by its cover". You should not make assumptions about the DEQ2496 just because it costs $300. I, and a lot of other people, have been astonished by this device. I bought mine only for the ... | |
| "Reverse" Bi-Wire Question Just don't get the two connections at the amp reversed in polarity. This would make a short circuit at the speaker where the wires are connected together. | |
| EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one? Memeboy...I think you are right..."Many people are afraid of them because they could be used to make things worse and they are not confident in their abilities to know when things are better or worse". I have had equalizers before, but they never ... | |
| EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one? Jafox...Rives will tell you that LF room resonances cannot be effectively cured by acoustic treatments, and they will sell you their highly regarded equalizer to do the job. | |
| Bose 901 Stevecham...Not true. Closely spaced drivers behave like one big driver except at very close range. The best example is the line array configuration, which may include a dozen drivers. | |
| EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one? Kal...Maybe it ain't perfect, but the $300 Behringer DEQ2496 does a job which needs to be heard to be believed. Really!. | |
| Cassette Tapes..Dolby B or C? WOW! I never thought that this thread would draw so much comment. I just had a simple question. I guess it is a little-known fact that some audiophiles still like their cassette decks. | |
| Bad idea? Budget int. tube amp with Maggie 1.6's? CarverPro ZR1600 and Maggie 1.6. Synergy? I don't know, but it would cost you less than a grand to find out. | |
| What Digital Stylus Force Gauge Do You Like? Of course the vinyl compliance varies with temperature. It does flex as the stylus tracks the groove. The RCA "Dynagroove" LPs include signal processing intended to counteract the vinyl compliance. | |
| What Digital Stylus Force Gauge Do You Like? Nsgarch...Maybe people who have gauges can measure several nickels, so we can see how much they actually vary. I don't think it will be much, and certainly not enough to significantly affect VTF measurements down around 2 grams. | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Hdm...I examined one of these speakers, and it is assembled in the USA using components made in China. Legally this might mean that they just put the grill on. | |
| What Digital Stylus Force Gauge Do You Like? I learned about a nickle weighing 5 grams in a college chemistry lab, where the instructor told us that we could use a nickle as a 5 gram weight in the balance. My recollection is that it was exactly 5 grams, but that is long ago and it is possibl... | |
| Tuner Aligement ? What does that mean ? .Alignment is the adjustment of the positions of the compressed powdered iron "slugs" in several interstage transformers in the IF amplifier section of the circuit. This tweeks up amd "aligns" the resonant frequency of the several transformers, an... |
