Crossfeed for electronic music

post #1 of 7

I've read a lot about crossfeed and how it could make for a more natural soundstage for rock music, but what effect would it have on electronic music? I'm trying to decided if I want to look for a crossfeed feature on my next desktop amp for my office.

i use crossfeed on all my music. downtempo/chillout sounds good with crossfeed.

Which amp do you use to get your crossfeed? Do they make any with a dial to let you change how much signal is crossfed between the channels?

i use a software crossfeed. part of an android app called DSP Manager. some amps do actually have a dial for the crossfeed.

Have you thought about a standalone crossfeed unit? I've been using a Corda Cross I for several years and love it; I can use it with any amp.

They're sadly out of production, but used ones come up and the plans are available.

I didn't know such a thing existed. Anything currently in production that I could investigate?

You could always commission a Cross-I from one of the DIY folks. Chu Moy has a crossfeed unit you could commission, as well.

If you feel like taking up a soldering iron, you could build them if you wanted.
