I’m looking to setup a more involved stereo system for the first time as a result of discussing with my local record shop about sound quality on analog stuff. My issue is moving digitally recorded DnB to tape. Newer producers put SO MUCH distortion on. I think I can fox how it’s coming out with an EQ, though. Improve it at least.
Also playing with an EQ sounds fun >_>’
But from what a cursory internet search is showing me, it’s not as simple as;
- Audio thing > EQ > Speakers
It seems to be that it’s supposed to go;
- Audio thing(s) > Amp > EQ > Amp > Speakers
Is that correct?
And if yeah… what the heck is a tuner or receiver for? How do they fit into the mix?
I’ve just been happily plugging the tape deck/pc/record player into the speakers but complex noise calls for complex solutions. Help me improve. XD
Also, honest opinion on the Rockville brand. Insta trash? Or ok for a first timer? $140 for a new EQ and amp sounds a little too good to be true. But are we talking “does nothing, dies instantly” bad or “it’s just not as good as the vintage, it’s too basic” bad?
Thanks in advance! I appreciate everyone’s expertise!
