I wasnt to hip to the dsp. thing at first either. First of all they're not all similar sounding, and w/in each mode several parameters are adjustable, to allow for personal taste. I often find them useful with the myriad of poorly recorded discs there are. Who'da thunk it? Good luck BigBusa

My Yamaha dsp-a1 bass boost is 7 db at 70hz L +R mains. The tone controls (treble/bass) are +/-10db at 20 khz and +/- 10db at 50hz for the l,c,r speakers. They are quite helpful with sizzley or bass shy recordings , esp. L.P.s and older c.d.s. But the yamaha has nice bass w/o that stuff. Aloha

Ditto Prana The ever-changing nature of existance will not allow complete "scientific certainty". But then you know what opinions are like.......we all got'em. have FUN!!! aloha...

Wire, o.k. The change may be relatively small but it's definitely noticeable with my humble system. My 11 yr. old daughter can easily hear changes to the system, wires and otherwise, for better or worse. Though not like changing a speaker, the little things all add up, esp. with the Klipsches on duty.

I have also been curious about the level of this noise with higher-ended gear and big horns. I have a Yamaha dsp-a1 and Belles, and wonder if a Pass/Krell et.al. have this audible noise at the listening seat?? (and what about tubes?!...)

quote: Standing in front of the speakers at a concert? Around 115 db. Friday night in the sweet spot with my Belles? Around 115 db. Gotta love'm This message has been edited by lowe byrrd on 11-15-2001 at 03:06 AM

Check out this months letters. K-horns in s-phile, what next?... Way to go Dean whoever you are!

olaf I still Enjoy the sound of my 350$, 2yr. old Denon cd. If I could upgrade right now it'd likley be a Denon w/ hdcd. theEar has good advice too.
