| Room Correction Required One of my rooms has a very similar significant drop-out at ~ 60hz. I was able to correct this quite well with Roon DSP and Room Eq Wizard freeware to create and apply a very aggressive and slightly customized convolution filter for overall room Co... | |
| When to choice XLR over RCA ICs. The only way to know for sure is to try whatever wires you have as many ways as possible. Having said that, I am not a fan of trying to tune a system with wires in most cases. XLR done properly should always be the best way to go technically when... | |
| when your hearing is not as good as it was . . . It’s normal to loose ability to hear higher frequencies with age. The good news is 10 kHz and above is mainly where “air” occurs in music meaning cymbals lose their sheen and sparkle, etc but most music occurs well below that frequency. On the plu... | |
| NAD M-33 or Hegel H190 The m33 with room correction applied should leave little if anything to want. | |
| ***Seasons Greetings A'goners***Are You Getting Any New Gear For Christmas*** I bought a miniDSP microphone to do room corrections in Roon. 2 rooms down 3 to go. New gear can’t really fix issues related to room acoustics. | |

| Room Correction Required Do you have Roon? You can do room correction with Roon by just acquiring a microphone to measure and using Room Eq Wizard freeware. I just did it with one of my rooms with excellent results. One room down, 3 to go. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Absolutely yes to using equalization for room correction but in this day and age DSP is the most powerful tool to do this best, not analog eq technology that was the best one could do practically say 10-20 years ago or so. If you have a good qu... | |
| Tune of the Day Suppers Ready (Instrumental) Found this on Qobuz. Outstanding performance and recording! | |
| How Much Do tonal colorations matter? @mahgister if you ever want to try and see there is a download available for those headphones along with many others available here: AutoEQ Web | Results | Recommended (killdozer.uk) Note that the always appropriate YMMV disclaimer is nicely appl... | |
| How Much Do tonal colorations matter? I think convolution filters are perhaps best used with headphones than anywhere else. Easier perhaps because you can use filters already created for most headphone models but equally applicable for room correction and other primarily audio prod... | |
| "Squaring The Circle"...Hipgnosis Documentary on Netflix Interesting. I will check it out. Thanks. | |
| What news in 2023 struck you? I was very sad to learn Ohm Acoustic’s John Strohbeen had passed. | |
