| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market I've been very happy with the Salk Silk Monitors and HSU ULS15. I also thought that the Philharmonic BMR monitors and the Q Acoustics Concept 50s I heard at CAF were excellent. | |
| Digital Switch box This will do what you want: https://www.rdlnet.com/product.php?page=449 I have one that I used in a variety of setups with no problems. | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. I was shopping in that price range with a very similar room (19 x 20, with vaulted ceiling just bit lower). I went with Salk Silk Monitors, and have been very happy with them. The Joseph Audio Pulsars were a very close second for me. Of course,... | |
| Salk Audio Sound I chose Salk Silk Monitors over Joseph Audio Pulsars, etc. I've had them about 6 months now and have not been disappointed. | |
| Oppo/something else as a Processor I use a 105D as a processor, and like you I've looked for an alternative, mostly because I'm looking ahead to 4K and don't want to pay the current prices for a 205. I've found nothing - there doesn't seem to be a contemporary equivalent. Not sur... | |
| Benchmark Preamps and Amp - For real? @yyzsantabarbara Sorry, haven't been back to this thread. With both the DAC3 and AHB2 set for no attenuation, as recommended by Benchmark when used with the LA4, there does seem to be greater transparency. A bit more depth to the soundstage, a b... | |
| Qobuz Users Update? I've had Qobuz for a few months now, and also subscribe to Deezer. I dropped my Tidal subscription a few weeks after getting Qobuz - Qobuz has a better selection of classical recordings, and sound quality is generally as good or better than Tidal... | |
| Bluesound Vault 2i, Cocktail Audio X40 or ?????????? Has anybody transferred flac files from an NAS to the Vault? Is it easy to do? | |
| Benchmark Preamps and Amp - For real? I have an DAC3L/LA4/AHB2 setup, and it sounds phenomenal. More clarity than I've ever had before. Speakers are Salk Silk Monitors with a Hsu ULS15 sub. | |
| Salk speaker sound I bought a pair of Salk Silk Monitors a few months ago, and recently posted this review on another site:Now that I’ve listened to these several hours a day for a couple of months, I’m going to take a shot at writing a review. My wife Lori has lis... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Eldartford is right - there should be no sound out of the speakers when measuring ambient noise. Check your I/O menu and make sure you're not sending the mike signal to the outputs. | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Streetdaddy - did you EQ the channels separately? If so, the likely explanation for clipping on the left is that some bands are boosted enough to raise the digital level enough to clip. In the Utility menu, Page 1, there is an option to reduce EQ ... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP On initial comparison, whichever has less upper midrange/treble (bypass or eq)is likely to sound muffled. Let your ears adapt before you pass judgment. If after listening for a while, it still sounds muffled, try one (or both) of two things: (a) w... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Ecruz, I've seen that error message a couple of times. It seems to result from bad input of some kind, for example when I turned on my upsampler (in the chain before the Behringer) with the Behringer powered up. I'm guessing that with the preamp o... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Drubin, I don't know of any sites with tutorials, but you can post your questions here or email me and I'll help as best I can. The interface and many functions can seem overwhelming at first, but you will get the knack of using it.Rich |
