Sharing some audio recordings from my listening session this past weekend


My OKTAN6 system based on my six-way horn loudspeakers, with custom field coil compression and mid-bass drivers, is sounding great with all genres of music. The music is streamed from Tidal and played back with HQPLAYER at DSD1024x48. Here are a couple of audio recordings from this past weekend’s listening session (please playback at 1080p resolution for best results):

Unstoppable

Waltz for Debby

Landslide

My wife is also enjoying how the music that she likes sounds played back on my OKTAN6 system:

Don’t Start Now

@mihorn Alex the audio recording of your systems sounds very nice. How are you making adjustments to improve it sound? Speaker positioning? Crossover adjustments ? or something else? Sounds much better than it used to sound. nicely done. The audio recordings embedded in these systems videos are a great tool to make adjustments to improve one’s system. Too bad more people don’t understand this and take advantage of this powerful and inexpensive tool to yield higher performance sound quality out of their systems. Some I guess would rather just pay a lot more money for a more expensive component and hope for the best.

Which Tool ?

How Does One Learn About It ?

Where is it Purchased From ?

Other info discovered suggests there is a bespoke set up for driver frequency ranges? I assume a Digital Type of X over? 

@pindac The tool is audio recordings of one’s system from the listening chair position/location. You use this tool, the audio recordings, to make assessments and them you make adjustments to yield improvements to the sound you hear in the room.

Not only digital crossovers can be adjusted and tweak. In my OKTAN6 six-way horn system, I make adjustments to the Finemet transformers based crossovers to change the resultant sound at the listening position.

It just takes a reiterative process to fine tune the resultant sound the sound that you are targeting in your head. There are a number of methods to make adjustments, the adjustable crossover is just one of them. As you mentioned, making changes in the digital domain is another way, and technically the most precise and least subtractive way of modifying the resultant sound.
