| Roon: everything you need to know I like using the Roon EQ found in the DSP settings area. +1 grannyringIt is divine. I wrote about it here:https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2020/01/the-snr-1-room-response-and-roon.html | |
| Roon: everything you need to know Wow you need 128GB or 64 GB of ram to run roon? I never realized it was that memory intense. << cough cough >> bs. The memory requirements are because they expect you to have 100K or more songs, and they like to keep a lot of that buff... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars It is hard to imagine any designer believing that lower speaker impedance is a good thing. Right?? | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars Hi OP,As soon as you finish your course in AC circuit analysis, and filter theory I'll be happy to answer any questions my may have had. Best,E | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... Guys, I’m sorry, Nelson Pass is too young to be on these lists. Best,E | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... I am thinking the early days of JM Lab/Focal too would be good. Not necessarily as a fan of the speakers, but living in a French town with old school cabinet making down the road from the driver manufacturing. | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars Hi George,Please share with us what the difference is between the phase angle of an impedance, and the phase angle of the speaker's output. Thanks,Erik | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars When solid state-generated watts became cheap, speaker designers started to care less and less about the impedance of the models they were creating. Kind of a corollary of the law of supply and demand. @twoleftears I think this is a good obse... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars @gdnrbobSometimes this is legitimate, and in the past, I could see that it was due to poor design tools. Like in the early Genesis era. Damn, some of those crossovers are horrible in terms of impedance, but I can see how they got there due to manu... | |
| Roon: everything you need to know My 1 tip:Roon exaggerates how much CPU power you need for it. Unless you are upsampling, especially to DSD, you do not need a lot of CPU power for the core. | |
| Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs? Sounds like they may have cut/paste from an older manual. | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars min 1.6ohm ain’t for most. I am always suspicious of seeing such low numbers in a dynamic speaker in the bass. I took apart one speaker and saw circuits there deliberately designed to reduce the impedance. It made the speaker "discerning" of ampl... | |
| Trivializing AudiogoN...........ie: what I have is the best... Kind of on point, kind of not:I really appreciate it when those who recommend something explain their own personal context. What did they try before, what speakers, what music, what do they want out of their system. I am disappointed when users po... | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... For me it would be Altec or JBL. Would love to be there in the early days of theater sound. :) | |
| Accounting for slight hearing loss OP: Here is an idea out of left field:https://www.minidsp.com/products/dsp-headphone-amp/ha-dspThis is a headphone amp with built-in DSP. It's a little pricey for a thought experiment, but thought I would share. |
