Anyone who is enthusiastic about audio quality – an audiophile music fan or a musician for instance – needs a full-featured modern equalizer in their audio arsenal. There are just too many places in the typical home studio or home theater where a few tweaks in the right frequencies can truly bring about unbelievable results – to pass this up.

To most people who will buy a Behringer Ultracurve DEQ 2496, the machine is practically an all-in-one audio tool bag – first off, you get your standard 31-band graphic EQ, you get your parametric EQ spread out over 10 bands, an RTA analyzer, an FFT (61 bands), a stereo width adjuster that can take your stereo signal and let you narrow or widen the sound stage at will. The best part is, the whole thing is digital – and it empowers you like nothing you can imagine.

Any lover of sound on a limited budget lives in a world of intolerable sonic imperfection. Any room you must choose to set your system up ends up being irregular, with the wrong kind of corners, or made of material that vibrates and buzzes. Unless you have the money to order a pair of half-ton Genelecs or Westlakes, your speakers probably have areas of irregular response too. And unless you’re young and healthy, your ears can stamp their own frequency response of anything incoming. This is where having an inexpensive DSP-filled digital EQ can be hard to pass up on.

Let’s get to some real world examples of how getting a Behringer equalizer can actually help you out. Let’s say that you buy a pair of speakers to set up in a large bedroom at home. You’d like to buy a sub to go with it, but getting the satellites and the sub to play together can be quite a tricky affair. Set up your Ultracurve DEQ2496 and you can find exactly where to have the satellites’ low-end fall off, and have the sub pick it up right there without getting a big hole in the crossover region. Do you play an electric guitar that’s a bit harsh in the midrange, only you don’t know what to do about it? Use this Behringer equalizer to zero in, and correct the offending frequency.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of using an all-digital equalizer before, you don’t know what you are missing. The surgical precision with which you can zero in on any part of the frequency field and do with it as you please is about the most empowering musical experience anyone has ever had. On Amazon, the device costs less than $300; but don’t let the low price discourage you – this is the most transparent, the most clean-sounding equalizer you ever saw. And that is a fact.

In a back-to-school special that Wal-Mart announced recently, they had a laptop bundle for about $400 that included one among a selection of bargain laptop computers, a carry case, a printer, a  flash drive and a support plan called the Quattro Qresolve New PC Assist Plan (that they valued at about $80). The thing about buying a bundle is that they can well give you a low price on the main item you’re after, a laptop in this case, but they can make up for the discount by selling you a useless product as part of the bundle – the PC Assist Plan in this case. Most students in school or college decidedly need no help with a laptop. If they needed to, they could take one apart and put it back together in under an hour. This little trick allows them to sell you bargain laptop computers, but to take it all back force-feeding you a product no one in their right minds would buy on its own.

If you’re on the lookout for bargain laptop computers for your family, you’re best off buying something on its own (and no extended warranty under any circumstance) and then saving money by not choosing to buy any add-ons. The first item on the list that you could save a lot of money on would be an expensive office package, such as Microsoft Office 2010. The full package would set you back $500, and the student option a ‘bargain’ $150. But there is no reason anymore to spend money on office software. Certainly, free options such as OpenOffice aren’t as powerful as Microsoft’s product; but they are powerful enough, and they have all the basic programs that the full version of Office does. For students, OpenOffice has everything they need, and more. And of course, everything you do on OpenOffice is completely compatible with Microsoft’s office 2010.

One wonders how necessary antivirus software is. If the computer you plan on buying is mostly to stay at home, antivirus might be a bit of overkill. There is really nothing that serious that goes on that you would need a power-hogging antivirus program gumming up the works. Most antivirus will slow down your computer by up to a third, and this will prompt you to think of upgrading your computer sooner than you will have to otherwise. If you absolutely have to have it, you can easily download a free personal version from any number of top-notch antivirus companies – Norton, McAfee and my AVG, Microsoft Security Essentials, Avira, you name it.

Computers today are very powerful when compared to what we used to get even five years ago. Even if you head in looking for bargain laptop computers, you might be tempted to let the salesman upsell you a better machine for all the wonderful qualities it is supposed to have. A computer with a terabyte hard drive, 6 GB RAM and an i7 processor isn’t really necessary for everyday work. The idea when you go out looking for bargain laptop computers is to get quality and performance without the extras. And in today’s crowded laptop market, this is eminently possible.
