| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization 07-07-06: Audioari1I have not tried ERS paper, but one manufacturer that supplies a lexan cover instead of an aluminum one is DartZeel. Their amplifier, as you can see in a lot of literature, is supplied with a clear cover specifically for that re... | |
| Elrod EPS 3 / Electraglide Grounding Concerns I have owned both cords. It's my understanding that the EPS 3 is grounded, and my experience with the cord supports this view, as every ungrounded cord I have installed in my system caused a ground loop buzz, and the EPS 3 did not. However, I don'... | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization Audioari1, I'm not disputing the effects you hear, and I would like to learn more about the electromagnetic bounce effect (EMBE) to which you attribute the difference in sound. There a dozens and dozens of amplifiers, preamplifiers, and CD players... | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization Audioari1, can you provide a link to an article discussing electro-magnetic bounce effect?I have done a search for "electro-magnetic bounce effect" and found nothing. I have found several articles discussing electromagnetic field radiation, and gr... | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization 07-06-06: Audioari1One way to achieve the best sound and still have a cover for your DK is to have one made from Lexan. It is a clear material, so the cover will be see through, but it wont have the electro-magnetic bounce effect like the aluminum... | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization And it makes logical sense that the electromagnetic bounce effect is at play here. In any case, whatever you want to call it, the DK amplifier sounds substantially better with the top cover off, try it and see for yourself.Audioari1 (Threads | Ans... | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization 07-06-06: Audioari1One tweak that I tried that makes a BIG difference is playing the amp with the cover off. When the cover is on, electromagnetic waves bounce off the metal and back into the amplifiers circuitry. When the cover is off, you will b... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP 07-06-06: ZapperI am having the problem of the input being to high as well. It is optical out of a Philips DVD player. Yup. Me too.The issue here is that the DEQ2496 is a pro audio tool, and pro source equipment has adjustable output gain whereas ... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP I should add, regarding the DAC, that the DEQ2496 sounds pretty good when used as an EQ with an analog signal as the input source via the balanced inputs. It's when I plug a CD player into it via toslink that things sounds mechanical. That is also... | |

| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Have your pink noise gain level set to -10db, and turn down the volume on your preamp. The DEQ2496 reacts to the pink noise vs. ambient noise ratio, and this has no bearing on the volume of the pink noise you hear in the room. Obviously, you need ... | |
| Tubeguys:How much "tube sound" from tube players? Another major attribute at play here has to do with the portrayal of space, ambience, longer decays, etc. Yes. I agree. This is the primary benefit of tubes, IMO, and I have heard it every time a tube amp has been swapped in to replace a solid sta... | |
| Tubeguys:How much "tube sound" from tube players? Regarding "tubey" or "tube sound", I believe many of us are discussing different sonic traits. When I discuss the sound of tubes, and tube amps in particular, I mean a sonic signature that brings the music to life with a three dimensional image co... | |
| restocking fees Restocking fees discourage me from trying products I'm not serious about buying, and that's the point as far as I can tell. I have paid restocking fees once, and another time I negotiated away a restocking fee. 20% is excessive, IMO, and that fee ... | |
