| Stereo equalizer connection to integrated amplifie Broadstone, don't be intimidated by the technical part, devote one day to studying the theory of an EQ and you'll have it mastered. Behringer seems to be popular among audiophiles, maybe because it's digital. But the signal still has to be convert... | |

| LOUSY SOUND AT LIVE CONCERTS Foster_9...I was going to mention Pink Floyd Concerts. They have excellent sound in large arenas. Plus they position speakers around the arena for surround sound.As far as other bands' sound, I agree with the rest of you and I'll only go to a smal... | |
| Do you know why "I wouldn't be surprised to find out those running the equipment are just not knowledgeable enough to generate a good product."Csontos, new vinyl is being pressed by a new generation of workers. Look how long original vinyl records were being pres... | |
| Putting together first system... clueless. Next step is to choose speakers and an integrated that matches well. Integrated amps have come a long way and there are many excellent current models available. Try the archives to see what others members are using.I like the Rogue Audio Cronus tu... | |

| Speaker placement for brightness control. Broadstone, yes I was part of a EQ thread but cant find it. Basically the recommendations were only add it if being used in the digital domain. If it's in the analogue chain, then there's more processing being done, noise being added, possible cha... | |
| Speaker placement for brightness control. Right on Timo62, my next step is a soft dome tweeter. BTW, hanging the tapestry on my rear wall was such a significant improvement in trapping high frequencies. | |
| Speaker placement for brightness control. Hang in there, Broadstone, and I also have tinnitus...didn't know about that relationship. My tinnitus is very mild, however (I've been tested). I haven't looked for any forums, but after seeing the ENT and Audiologist, I'm now going to a migraine... | |
| Speaker placement for brightness control. Broadstone.... I feel for you since I too have Hyperacusis. I'm very happy with the sound of my system, but my tower speakers have metal tweeters and sometimes can cause some killer pain from high frequencies.I can only suggest what I've tried and... | |
| Linn Axis, Akito You can try new phono stage or cart before upgrading the Linn. Right now u have a great classic TT with a great arm. | |
| Linn Axis, Akito Your Linn Axis/Akito if well maintained (caps, motor, belt in good condition) is better than a new $1000 TT. It would not be a step forward. I own a mint Axis and have been auditioning new TTs in the $1500 range and am keeping the Axis. It has tha... | |
| New to classical..looking for recommendations You're going to get a lot of recommendations here. Start by sampling at Amazon. It will also link u to similar composers.Since Vivaldi falls into the Baroque category, maybe start with the early composers... JS Bach, Handel, Joseph Martin Kraus, M... | |
| emotiva mono block amps any good? I was expecting about 10 watts class A from an amp that massive. From when I was researching Bob Carver designs; an explanation...Class G amplifiers (which use "rail switching" to decrease power consumption and increase efficiency) are more effici... | |
| emotiva mono block amps any good? Tony, that's good research. Reviews of the XPA have been very mixed, but the XPR looks like a step forward. Funny...I was wondering about the Class A wattage myself. |
