I think you can save yourself the trip to Maplin - their item is marked

Cardas make an appropriate adapter, and I've generally like their
product. Finding one in the UK seems to be tricky though.
I might go with the Maplin one as a temporary measure, assuming they
have a pair in my local store, or have a look at the local Digital
Village, as the DJ stores seem to do
Ah, ok then. Neutrik make what looks like the right adapter, and you
can get it from Maplin online -

Whilst this isn't the DIY forum, I don't think it is difficult to make
up the adapters that you need. Hypex have a nice clear explanation of
the wiring here (http://www.hypex.nl/docs/wiring.pdf) - see the section
at the bottom right of the document. All you need is a couple of XLR
plugs,
I've got a new amp coming Thursday, and it has only XLR inputs. As I am
still very much a vinyl head, even if the TP has usurped my CDP for
digital, so my preamp is very much required (and loved).
Means I need to connect single ended pre to the XLR ins on the amp.

Nice to see that the launch of this product is triggering them to sell
hi-res downloads of their music catalogue.

I'm going to sit on the fence on this and say "it depends".
I've used a Behringer DEQ2496 in my system very successfully in my old
flat, but that was partly to do with the fact that the room in question
had a lot of issues.
In my new house, the listening room is clearly a lot better and I

DRC in the bass would be nice.
Above the bass I see RC as a strategy with a kind of negative feedback
loop. The more you focus on complete correction the more likely the
correction might be distorted by random variabilty. I see this all the
time on FR plots done with impulses and mics, there is s
I have used both DRC (TACT) and just parametric eq (z-sys rdp-1) and far
prefer par eq. DRC makes my big speakers sound small and you still have
to dial in preference curves cos drc sounds like doo doo if you dont.
I just use my par eq to notch out bass humps and tune to taste.
