Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
06-21-06: EldartfordTvad...How do you measure the imbalance? Did you create it by your EQ curve? 3 dB would be a fault condition for the electronics. Imbalance is measured by the DEQ2496 meter...measuring both the input and output.My EQ is in ster... 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
It does have an expander.My latest observation is a channel imbalance which favors the left channel by 1-3db with the DEQ enabled. There is no channel imbalance with the tape loop bypassed (DEQ2496 is in the tape loop). 
1st, most memorable recording...
Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" from his "Born in the USA" album through a friend's powerful system with Klipschorns. I was floored, and still remember it to this day.1markr (System | Threads | Answers)I can imagine that would have been an impressive ...

Perhaps it drives both channels for the measurement. Is that so? (Now it's your turn to be the Behringer expert!)That's correct.BTW....why do cheap car stereos systems often sound pretty amazing.....it is actually very simple, two words....Soffit ...

Thank you for the link, Warnerwh. I have several balls in the air at the moment, but I will take a look at the link in the next few days.I am aware that bass tweaking is extremely important, and this is where I've been focusing much of my attention. 
A Very Narrow Listening Room
Use one Acapella Sphaeron Excalibur and listen in mono. :) 
Awesome new "Kind Of Blue" Redbook CD reissue
Yup, 1997. I ordered mine today. I sure hope it sounds different than my other remastered "Kind Of Blue". Desert island disc. 
what is good sound ?
MrT, your intentions are good, but an answer to your question is way, way too much work for something that's supposed to be enjoyable, entertaining and relaxing (at least to me). 
which power conditioner unit?
Check the archives. You'll be busy for a week or two. 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
OK, so I've done the Auto EQ in both stereo and dual mono (2 channels), and I much prefer the results using stereo mode. Frankly, the results in dual mono just sounded plain bad.So, I'm using the stereo Auto EQ results as a baseline, and I'm tweak... 
Boost system performance via isolation?
Mass loading (putting some weight on top) components is supposed to reduce external vibration. It's worth a try. I sometimes put a 5# weight on top of my CD player. Can't say if I notice a difference, but intellectually I think it should be benefi...

I've got it working. As is always the case, these things come down to pilot error.Do you all recommend doing RTA/Auto EQ in stereo mode or dual mono? 
Tyler and Acoustic Zen reviews in TAS
Is anyone going to make a purchase decision based solely on a review in TAS? Not likely.It seems to me readers routinely over-analyze reviews and reviewers' agendas. 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
I have set the noise gain, and the +15 volt condernser mic according to the manual. The mic is at the listening position. 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
06-20-06: EldartfordTvad...You don't need to select the noise as input. Doing the EQ thing automatically turns it on. The input for EQ is the mic (obviously). OK. Regardless, when I initiate the Auto EQ sequence, the DEQ2496 gives me a warning tha...
