| Converting RCA to XLR Interesting, I'm almost tempted to try combining the 2 types of outputs on my BDP95 to see what happens (it would really be a pain to set it all up just for the sake of testing something). I've only ever used the BDP95 S/PDIF to HT processor, neve... | |
| Converting RCA to XLR @auxinput,Same thing I mentioned to fiesta about the A51 balanced input.In this case using a XLR to RCA adapter probably isn’t going to make any difference.I like your idea about using 2 amps, but I think there’s still an issue there.How is the pr... | |
| Converting RCA to XLR @fiesta," You need an end-to-end, full XLR setup in order to realize the improvement. Adapters are for use as a necessity to match a component with only RCA's."The A51 balanced inputs are not differential, but the Oppo's balanced outputs are. So ... | |
| Converting RCA to XLR Curious, why are you asking about XLR/RCA converters (adapters)? | |
| 2x2x12inch or 2x15inch subwoofers Believe what you want...https://www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-design/10-nonsense-mythsRead myth #9 - Myth: smaller subwoofers are faster than larger ones. Big subwoofers sound slow and inarticulate. | |
| 2x2x12inch or 2x15inch subwoofers I don't know if this helps or not, but I have a pair of the E15HP2's (4000 cubic room w/ full acoustic treatment).If I'm watching a movie with my wife I can use both subs (main system volume is lower than watching a movie myself).If I'm watching a... | |
| Advice sought on sending a preamp from Canada to the US for repair and return I would suggest reading this publication:https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/dm-md/d8/d8-2-10-eng.html" Goods Returning to Canada Having Been Repaired Outside of Canada"Near the end of the document, there's 'Addition Information' that has a ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha sound imbalance 1. Try swapping the speaker cables only.2. Measure the exact distance from each speaker to your head where it would be when you're seated.3. Get yourself an SPL meter and check both speakers are matched by measuring the same frequency for each spe... | |
| Different subwoofer settings for different albums? It's called 'Level Matching' (subs to mains).All you need is a SPL Meter and external 'Test Tones'.From what I've gathered based on the various subwoofer threads here at a'gon, seems it would be too complicated for the majority of members to inves... | |
| Subwoofers with room correction built in? From what I've read, you should run something like REW to verify the outcome. You may end up with better or worse results than setting the subs up manually using tools like REW. I wouldn't assume it's going to be better just because is done automa... | |
| Subwoofer Decisions - REL/Rythmik, Pair/Single, Paper/Aluminum Driver, etc. That’s a good example hilde45 of being within 7db from 100Hz down to 20Hz. So my question is, would the cost justify the purchase of another sub to flatten out that 5db peak? That’s assuming it could be flattened.It would be interesting to see the... | |
| Subwoofer Decisions - REL/Rythmik, Pair/Single, Paper/Aluminum Driver, etc. Thanks for the response musicaddict.I have nothing against DBA, it’s just how some guys install multiple subs in their room with absolutely no thought, then make comments on Audiogon about how amazing everything sounds, including better mids and h... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Yes, Duke agreed with me suggesting level matching as a good starting point. Thanks for pointing that out. Sorry MC, you're a dart thrower, here's what you said. Guaranteed your system would sound better if you learned to install it correctly wit... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration I agree, level matching the subs to the mains is a good starting point, especially from someone installing their own subs. Where you end up doesn't mean the same position is necessary. At least you'll know where you are with reference to increasin... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration You're twisting it around MC, the whole purpose of level matching is to prevent you from trying to figure out what the volume on the subs should be. That's why its called level matching. |
