I am switching my preamp from a Parasound P3 to a Jungson model that does not have a processor/tape loop like the Parasound does. What will happen when I use this signal path: Linn Kremlin > Behringer 2496 EQ > Jungson Preamp > Power Amp.
The best place for an EQ would be after the digital out from a CD tranport. I think the Behringer 2496 EQ has a onboard DAC?. I know some people who use that kind of gear together with a mic. to apply some room correction. The correct way of doing this is. 1) have a someone messure the acoustic properties of you room. 2) adjust accordingly with bass traps etc. 3) measure agian 4) make minor adjustments to the trap etc. 5) use your EQ with mic and some pink/white etc noice to mesure your room 6) use your EQ to smooth out the last bits.
If possible don't boost frequencies only dampen freqensies.
Don't use cheap pro gear like Behringer pro gear or if you do modify it.
Pre amps like tact aleardy ahve some of those features build in.
Mordante...A deep dark secret..."Pro gear" is made with the same circuitry and electronics parts as audiophile gear. It's "cheap" because it is produced in greater volume, and is sold to serious audio people who care more about the sound than a prestigious brand name.
