Why New Orleans Matters

Why New Orleans Matters

As soon as we pulled up, I knew that this was gonna be the highlight of my trip to New Orleans. When the door to <B>Snake and Jakes Christmas Club Lounge</B> swung open, I got tears in my eyes as I beheld the kind of unclean, unsafe booze shack that I've wasted many an hour in.

Should I use my EQ?

Sorry for all the Noobie questions...

My system so far is:
NAD 1240 preamp
NAD 2400 amp
NAD 4225 tuner

I have a Realistic 10 band EQ hooked up between my preamp and amp. I really like the control I get over the sound with the EQ but it really boosts the signal coming from my preamp giving the volume control even less effective motion than it already has.

However, when I bypass the EQ I have to set the Bass on the preamp to almost nothing or it overpowers everything else.

Emotiva RSP-2 Pre-amp

Forums

Well, I finally joined the family! My RSP-2 arrived 2 days after my order was placed in excellent condition. Upon opening the box, I was very impressed not to see a plastic bag, but a nice cloth sack protecting my new pre-amp! Nice touch indeed. Upon further inspection the unit was cosmetically perfect except for the alignment of the bass, treble , and balance controls located on the right. Their indents are shifted off center and towards the right side of the unit instead of pointing straight up as one would except.

long vs short wall placement

Hi,

I am experimenting with my setup in lounge. I did have the speakers on the long wall, and seemed to be ok, but sometimes felt the bass was exagerated. I have now tried on the short wall, and it sounds great, but different. I don't know if better or not!

My question is, now with speakers on the shortwall, there is essentially no rear wall behind my listening position, as the room is around 50ft long x 15ft wide. Is this a good or bad thing? I did notice the bass seems to have really dropped off, but imaging seems better.

Thanks for your advice!
