| Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system? I understand. Most of us carefully choose our components. We buy them because we like the way they sound. As you said we pick them for a reason. I am respectful of everyone's opinion (well almost everyone's) and encourage people to use what they a... | |
| Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system? We always suggest to our customers to use passive room treatment as needed if they can. High quality DSP/RC is much more than just EQ. It’s a mistake to think they are the same. Also, high quality DSP/RC corrects issues that passive room treatment... | |
| Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system? The system the OP is referring to was an all analog tube based system except for the digital crossovers. It was comprised of all REF Audio Research tube electronics, analog only front end and Apollo 12 active speakers. All crossover filters were d... | |
| GT Audio Works Refrence3 vs Arion Audio Apollo 12 I am happy to offer a technical description about our Apollos and a general description of planar-ribbon speakers if you are interested. The sonic differences can be judged by others. | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b Tried Sophia Electric blue glass and Shuguang. My guess is that both the WE and Elrog are better than those. I was going to sell my 300B amps until I tried the EMLs. Most of my experience is with 45s and 2A3s. I have tried many NOS and new issue 4... | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b I suggest adding EML 300B mesh plates to your list. To me in my system they are considerably better than other new issued 300Bs I tried. While I have only tried a few 300Bs I have gone through many 45s and 2A3s including a few rare globe 45s. The ... | |
| Question for those who know about open baffle speakers... I suspect that part of what impressed you was the control that DSP offers. All of our speakers are OB dipole and DSP controlled. Through development of our OB speakers we went through iterations of passive, analog active and DSP active. After a le... | |
| Bi amp and bias issue Bi-amping through the factory passive crossovers typically yields minimal improvements. Identical amps must be used with this configuration. To correctly use active crossovers the factory passive crossovers must be bypassed. Furthermore, whatever ... | |
| Audio Clubs - Charlotte, NC, Lake Norman Area, Mooresville, NC Greetings,Carolina Audio Society CAS, is still in existence but dormant due to Covid. It's run by Paul Wilson, pwilson at carolinaaudiosociety.com Hopefully we can start getting together soon for some music and audio chat. I hosted one event so f... | |
| Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity OP, We have been selling our Apollo series speakers for a little over two years now. They are active and fully DSP controlled. We chose to offer our speakers with and without amplifiers. We designed our speakers to be very amplifier friendly so th... | |
| How can I establish a reference level? Mike, There really is no direct correlation between the -dB reading on your equipment and the loudness (dB) at your listening position. The levels set during the recording process are all over the map. There are many factors along the audio chain ... | |
| How can I establish a reference level? Your approach is a complicated way to get to a simple answer and will likely not work out. Assuming your primary concern is protecting your ears, first look at what OSHA has adopted for guidelines. https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_doc... | |
| This is DigDug's Wife; DigDug passed away. Need advice on selling sound absorbing panels I am sorry for your loss.The units in the photos are indeed made and sold by RealTraps.50-60% of the new price seem reasonable.They are very well engineered products. | |
| Sport Court as Listening Room? Seems to me that space has great potential as a listening room. Higher sensitivity speakers are always a good thing. If you use line source speakers, ceiling interaction will be minimal. You could use an acoustic cloud if you have ceiling interact... | |
| Absorb or Diffuse Behind Listening Position? Having the listening position against the back wall is not ideal. I assume the OP has no other possible listening position available or perhaps it's a multi-purpose room and there must be a compromise. With that listening position you definitely d... |
