Re: Chip Amp Voicing Is Definitely Dominated By POLLYinFLA's Disastrous Decision!

"Although POLLYinFLA would have you simply take his and Behringer's word that the ULTRACURVE PRO DEQ2496 is a component that offers "...extremely high audio performance (which) makes it ideal for audiophile mastering and PA purposes." Hey isn't that what the Objectivists here always accuse the Subjectivists of? Simply taking a manufactuer's word? Hmmmmmm...."

You missed a key point, the effects of an equalizer on any given system are independently MEASURABLE.

Secondly, you said

"Although it's not the same model I've heard the ULTRA-CURVE PRO DSP8024 used in any otherwise very nice system. Unfortunately it was immediately noticeable as being in the circuit between the amp & preamp, even when set to flat"

Look at the instructions that accompany the Ultra-Curve Pro DSP8024, specifically look at pages 22 -24 under Section called application, the device is not supposed to be used between the preamplifier and the power amplifier, but BEFORE the preamplifier, i.e. the equalizer should always receive a full signal, another point, did you adjust the input sensitivity accordingly to obtain optimum results, this point pretty much makes placing the equalizer between between the amplifier and the preamplifier a no-no if optimal results are to be obtained, the same should also apply to the DEQ2496.

PS: I will answer the response on Peter Aczel in detail in the next few days, Secondly, I suggest you drop this name-calling business, it is not condusive for rational discussion.
