| Distributed Bass Array configuration "All-Pass phase controls operate at only a single frequency with varying degrees of shift across the passband."Yes, that’s because they are really delay controls, and a given delay is equivalent to different fractions of a wavelength (phase) at di... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration @mijostyn - What ruled the Amethyst out for me was that it has a fan, which a couple of reviewers have reported hearing. In my very quiet room (~26 dBA SPL), any fan noise would be obtrusive. Since Trinnov is reputed to have the very best RCS, I w... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration @noble101-- I am acquainted with Duke through other channels and have had some information from him since posting. I do agree about his extensive knowledge on this topic, through setting up systems in many situations, as well as design work. I ha... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration @danager -- Thanks for the link to the Geddes papers. I surely know the name, but I don’t think I’ve read anything of his.@mijostyn -- I use Janszen Valentina P8 main speakers. In my basement room, they respond well to 20 Hz, but a room-induced ho... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration @millercarbon - I trust that my joking exchange about "experts" was not something you took personally. It surely was not aimed at any particular person.I appreciate your contributions as well as those of others. | |
| Roon: anyone else experience slowdowns after usage? @jji666-- FYI, I'm using Roon ROCK on a headless NUC. I do not experience the slowing problem you described. At least not yet -- the core has been running for 38 days now. | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration @mijostyn -- An interesting story. I must correct you on one point. An expert is more properly defined as, "Anyone 500 miles from home." If one doesn't tell you what you want, another will -- they are a dime a dozen. I know; I was one (in another ... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration @hilde45 -- Thanks for asking; yes, I’ve got what I was looking for (and more :-)). There has been a wide variety of opinions, all worth considering. My thanks to everyone; even if my experience does not mirror yours, I appreciate the time and eff... | |
| Ohm speakers I hope you find someone to give you an audition. You might consider contacting Ohm directly to see if they have owners in the area who would be willing to help you. John S. in my experience is a very helpful person. | |
| Streamer Advice / Recommendation for Denafrips R2R DAC The Auralic Aries G1 is very close to the G2.1 (according to most reviews) and is an excellent unit. I found it indistinguishable from the Bricasti M5 sonically, but it offers many more features. So if you were thinking of the Aries G2.1, you migh... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration @millercarbon - Thanks for your comments. Regarding sub phase, I have experienced its making a big difference in FR (measured and audible) between sub and main, but it’s easy to believe that with 4 mono subs not all set to the same phase, this wou... | |
| Changing I enjoy concert videos, and video makes minor imperfections in the sound less obvious. (That’s perhaps one reason why some home-theater systems are less satisfying for audio only.)Certainly, opera is a LOT more fun with video, especially when that... | |
| streamer to DAC connection System-dependent, because it depends on implementation quality at both ends.DSD or fs > 192 kHz usually requires USB. | |
| Auralic Aries @ghdprentice -- Thanks for your reply. I suppose we disagree on terminology. So be it! | |
| Auralic Aries @mgrif104 said: >> With respect to Auralic vs any number of streaming transports - there’s a fair amount of differing opinions. My takeaway is that they’re all pretty good and they get better as you go up the food chain within each line... |
