| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? Wow, the dude is tooting his horn a bit much because he can apparently solder, build a stoopid lil box and throw some drivers in it.Dude, i run a large test lab where we primarily build/test aerospace components. We do stuff everyday that can be w... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp Why don’t i just plug all my gear into a very good balanced isolation power conditioner (with excellent CMR) and make my life easier fellas? A wise man once said, " Spend in the right places"Though .....someone mentioned he gets aways with fewer g... | |
| Sub Not Waking Up most probable problem:a)You probably have the volume control knob on the sub way up. b) YPAO may have compensated when it does it's level matching with your speakers by turning the level way down for the sub. The signal the receiver sends now is i... | |
| Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer? @ka1j What DAC are you using (DAC output going into the MEN220)?Have you done a sonic comparison from your DAC output to the MC275 on your 2 main speakers (without subs) to the inclusion of the MEN220 in the chain and listening on the mains only... | |
| Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer? @tomic601 , here are some tracks i use when i'm tinkering with it and listening for things (non compressed FLAC versions of these, 24bit 96khz when possible). Overall SPL levels are relatively high (farmhouse/no neighbors).Hans Zimmer - Mombasahtt... | |
| Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer? @audiokinesis , Many hardcore audiophiles i know stick with 2 channel music systems, a.k.a, their high end turntables, DACs, integrated amps/monoblocks, etc with no bass management. These guys try subs and abandon them because they can't get it... | |
| Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer? @tomic601 , @audiokinesis @erik_squires A lot of stuff you guys mention are steps i’ve already gone through over the ages. Both my rooms are treated with bass traps, absorption (ceiling, FR) and diffusion panels.Room 1 has 5.2 Elac Adante speakers... | |
| Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer? @tomic601 , I agree on the forest of subwoofers issue in the house.... If the number rises above 2 in a room, i fear my wife will take a flamethrower to all of them. But, yeah i love Danny and his contributions. My dual Rythmiks are the model with... | |
| Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer? " Imo the first issue can be addressed by designing the subwoofer to have a native frequency response which slopes gently downwards by the approximate inverse of "typical" room gain, or 3 about dB per octave. I'm not saying this is the only way ... |
