Sloped baffle
Just saw this thread. Wonderful to have so many knowledgeable folks chime in, plus the links to very good past discussions. I'm certainly not up to par with my two cents here, but Psag might find it useful. Uli Brueggemann, the man behind Acourate... 
From Metrum Octave to Lynx Hilo or exaSound e28?
Thanks Mike.I was aware the line out was fixed volume and the highest quality output in the unit, but was not aware the volume control could not control all 6 channels at once. Then the only option is using JRMC volume, as you do.What kind of powe... 
From Metrum Octave to Lynx Hilo or exaSound e28?
Bumping it up a bit. For whatever reason it took two days from posting to this thread to show up, so when it did it already looked kinda old.Anyone has input?Thank! 
Active crossover for 804S and Rythmik subs?
Dentdog, I'm in southamerica, so it would be rather expensive to have Jim visit. I will get his book, though. I have gone through a number of books, but haven't gotten to that one. Thanks for pointing it out.Been doing a fair amount of reading and... 
Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?
Marty,You are right: after further reading about the QOL, I realized it doesn't do what I need. So that one's out.Switching cables between the Lamm and an Onkyo doesn't sound like me. I'd rather spend the time I have for listening to music just li... 
Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?
Marty,I certainly agree with you on simplicity being preferable. Further looking into these units I came across the DEQX HDP-4, and the QOL, amongst others, but these appear to be most endorsed. What's your thought on these, as an experienced DRC ... 
Preamp/DAC with BM+EQ Lyngdorf DEQX Trinnov etc
Hello Dave.Was wondering what did you end up doing, and how did it work out for you?I'm facing a very similar situation with very similar requirements, although I'm 100% server based and considering a room correction software as an alternative, bu... 
Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?
Marty,Thanks for the answer. Was wondering how is your signal chain configured? From server, do you go out through USB? Straight into the Onkyo? Then the Onkyo does the crossing over, the room correction, and where is the DAC performed?I asked the... 
Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?
Shameless tangent!Marty: I'm interested in your experience with room correction. I also use Rythmiks (two 12" very heavy DIY boxes) in a stereo setup. I'm looking into Dirac for room correction (as my only source is a highly optimized computer), p... 
Active crossover for 804S and Rythmik subs?
Bob,Thanks for clarifying. I did understand now - I think!In my case, the speakers are rated to go well below 80 Hz and they do, but I suspect the combination of them distorting at lower frequencies plus the tube amp being driven hard to get down ... 
Active crossover for 804S and Rythmik subs?
Thanks Rodman.There is no adjustment available for the Hi-Pass. The goal of the design was transparency and phase coherency, where it's most critical. I really can't imagine why any adjustment, other than the crossover point(determined by the cap ... 
Active crossover for 804S and Rythmik subs?
Bob,Thanks for posting.If I understood what you wrote, are you trying to find the lowest frequency such that both the subs and main speakers are flat?Not really. My goal was to cross over at the highest frequency the subs would work well at. But t... 
Active crossover for 804S and Rythmik subs?
Hello Rodman.Thanks for the input. I have come across this unit before. I remember you liking it.It is not clear to me how this unit is operated. The frequency knobs are for adjusting the low-pass x/o frequency, right? Is there a way to adjust the... 
Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?
Bo1972,What do tou use as active crossover, and how is your system set up? I'm looking into this right now. Actually posted a new thread on the Tech Talk section. 
Does AC Power Cord to Linear Power Supply matter?
Saw you at JCat forum. Good!BTW, since you have several aftermarket PCs, why don't you try for yourself? Choose the PC you deem makes the least impact in your system now and replace it with a generic PC. Get used to the new sound. Then use that af...
