FYI, I just got an ad from BSW for B-Stock M-Audio active speakers for about 1/2 retail price. Details at http://www.bswusa.com/promo.asp?promo=70 I know nothing about the company or the speakers, but thought some of you might be interested. Kim -- krochat -- SB3 (+linear) - Big Ben

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Strange Volume Problem Please Read and try This at you own system !!

that conceptually does a D-to-A-to-D on the input signal to upconvert it to 96kHz for internal processing. You need to reduce the digital level in the SB3 before it gets to the RCS input to prevent digital overload in the AD1896 conversion process. Regards, Kim -- krochat -- SB3 (+linear) - Big Ben - TacT

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Strange Volume Problem Please Read and try This at you own system !!

, not the output. If you have a S2150 amp following the RCS, you will see that its clip light is not synchronized with the RCS's so whatever's coming out of the RCS isn't what's being measured by the RCS clip indicator. Regards, Kim -- krochat -- SB3 (+linear) - Big Ben - TacT RCS 2.2X - 2xS2150

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: SB3 into TacT - how good can it get?

used the knob or buttons. I haven't tried configuring the second display for anything else. It's easy to like the Transporter, and it's a clear step up from the SB3, but I would end up paying quite a bit for those nifty VU meters if I kept it. Regards, Kim -- krochat -- SB3 (+linear) - Big
