| Is Stream via ethernet Superior to BlueTooth? Wifi is different than BluTooth. Wifi has essentially the same bandwidth as Ethernet. The isseus as pointed out is whether you have a strong, uncontested signal. The use of a phone or laptop based Wifi analyzer to help sort that out is really ... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Passive crossovers are using energy from the signal to create the crossover, I don't see how that can ever work accurately. @gtscott - Only when well engineered. You do make a good point that they are always subtractive, but when done correct... | |
| I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. No reason to keep experimenting. :) I was just curious what you liked so much better than the famed Alps. :) | |
| I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. Ah, interesting. I wasn't sure I thought someone made a discrete mini pot with surface mounted resistors. Glad your experiment worked out! | |
| Bass management--high/low pass filtering Hi OP, Unfortunately I don't see an easy way for you to accomplish this. Your integrated has preamp outs, so you can connect your sub's line level (RCA) inputs this way but there's no way to limit the amount of bass that reaches your speakers. ... | |
| I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. So you went from ALPS with wipers to discrete ? How old were the originals? | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? for floor standers the Monitor Audio line is sadly overlooked too frequently despite excellent engineering in drivers and crossover design. Revel is also an excellent performer with a natural clear sound and wide listening area comparable to Magi... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Going along with what I mentioned before, the Kef Reference 1 Meta bookshelves are probably a fantastic opportunity for a crossover rethink based on the impedance plots. That speaker may do a lot better with a wider variety of amplifiers than it... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? The biggest issue I have with this approach is whether or not you wanted the speakers you bought to begin with. If the answer is send it to Danny and have him fix it, you are better off buying a kit from Meniscus or Solen.ca or Madisound since th... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Overall, if you did this ONLY with EQ, I'd flatten the 35Hz and 95 Hz first, and then raise the entire level bellow 150 Hz to taste. Bass traps are a good idea, but may be too expensive. Adding a subwoofer in the right location, with the low p... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments OP: Turnimg off smoothing and gating, of any, is pnly useful as a learning exercise. I wanted you to see hpw much filtering was being done for you and why this measurement only answers part of ypur question. The link I posted to GIK acoustics w... | |
| ??? My First Classical Concert,What Can I Expect ??? No matter where you sit imagining wikl be crap. 🤣🤣🤣 | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments OP: It occurs to me you are using gating and smoothing. Turn those off and re-examine your measurements. I think you can re-use what you've already captured. You'll see a much nastier image of your results. Also, when comparing speakers, it's ... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments OP: If I wanted to take time based plots, is that doable using reasonably priced tools, or is that a pro assessment job? Room EQ Wizard (REW) has a variety of tools for that, and their forums are very helpful. Here’s a starter page. Let me... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments OP: For the record, room treatments and room correction are not equivalent. Using a frequency response curve to determine if you need room treatments is only useful in the bass. Above that the microphones won't integrate frequency response meas... |
