| Streaming Preamp without a built-in DAC I think the issue you are running into is, there's no such thing as a preamp/streamer without a DAC. Now, if you want a separate streamer, without a DAC, and have a preamp separately that can be done! :) I personally use a Raspberry Pi 4 with Roon... | |
| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP Doing this when it's quiet is important, or you'll try to EQ your air conditioner. :-)Using OmniMic or Room EQ Wizard can be a lot easier and faster than attempting to us an SPL meter though. | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? Erik, the Turtles first lp was recorded with all voices to the left and all the instruments in the right channel. I believe you. My point was, it wasn't recorded like this, it was cut like this. :) They probably originally recorded it intendin... | |
| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP Also, no matter the route you go ruler flat rarely sounds best - especially in the analog domain. Indeed, you, Fred Toole and I agree on this. Fixing gross abnormalities in the bass region is often all you should do. | |
| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP PS - I do like the Mytek products, but for the most part I’m not fanatical about them. They have class-leading specs AND sound really good but over the last 10-15 years a lot of great sounding DACs have hit the market. The only DAC I’m really aga... | |
| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP I have to say last show I was at, the Vandersteen room was the best sounding. The compensation for the room worked really well. | |
| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP @heaudio123 Not usually how a four output miniDSP works. Usually the outputs are for high and low frequency, so with that configuration it is for 2 satellites and 2 subs, with configuration for high pass, low pass, timing, global EQ as well as EQ ... | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? She noted that studies show very hightened listening capability among those who grow up in highly stressful households, because you learn to listen veeerrry carefully for nuance in tone before someone explodes. I do this to, for the same reas... | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? Absolute phase is interesting. To me it is stunningly obvious, and it boggles my mind to think that others cannot hear it. I can’t hear it. At all. From experts I've read, it's all about how the ear mechanically works. It is of course possible som... | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? I know some recordings were originally meant to be multi-track mono. That is, they recorded to multiple tracks, but meant to release the final product in mono. Then stereo came and labels started doing "cheap" stereo recordings by going back to ex... | |
| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP OP:I encourage you to read in the Room EQ Wizard forums, as well as Audio Science Review similar topics.If you get a measurement microphone, and a miniDSP, I encourage you to try it out. Best,E | |
| If you want to use omni's you need a lot of room. @riley804 Not me. :) I just thought it was an interesting discussion topic, in the bigger topic of total cost of ownership for a pair of speakers, which I am usually interested in. | |
| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP You are confused, disoriented, and profoundly illogical opinions can not be "mistaken" they are opinions although in this case what we are talking about are facts also you do not know anything about my professional, academic, and scientific achie... | |
| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP EQ can not fix, correct, or eliminate room nodes the nodes will always be there all you will do is add distortion and an even more uneven net frequency response plot. clearthink (George hifi’s alt?? ) and Millercarbon lack education and personal e... | |
| Keep noise creators outside your clean power zone @heaudio123 I believe (back from my days working in this) that's there are limits to the amount of capacitance you legally can add across the H and N lines, no? Putting a coil in series helps with that. :) |
