| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls REW has a function that develops a recommended Eq program based on your measurements or you can do it yourself. You then download it directly into a MiniDSP. It works amazingly well - measuring afterwards it chopped off the bass peaks to give a ... | |
| AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT? @folkfreak +1 | |
| AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT? I think people spend a lot on their systems because they want to, not because they have to. Good sound doesn’t have to cost a lot. Nor is price even a guarantee of better sound quality. | |
| The Method of Tuning Michael: Mark said a lot in his presentation and I’m in agreement with him re: Redbook CD’s being better quality than analog, up sampling adding nothing, and MQA being a transfer protocol - not a “sound better format”.My point in referencing his t... | |
| The Method of Tuning Hi Michael: This is getting interesting.I think most acoustic engineers would agree that mounting your speakers in the wall solves the SBIR problem and provides a smoother low end frequency response.Your bold assertion that “Mid-Fi” electronics ca... | |
| Klipsch Heresy Speakers circa 1976...Cabinet wood question. My Klipsch Heresy circa 1980 speakers came in unfinished birch plywood - the cheapest version. You should be able to tell from the back of the speaker. There was no MDF option available back then. | |
| Gotta love Nelson Pass He is an impressive guy. I love the fact that he routinely shows up at forums and discusses projects and donates designs to DIY'ers. I am always amused at the wanna be engineers that try to redesign his products with after market products like P... | |
| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used I think Nelson Pass would tell you to save your money. He's a pretty good engineer. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @douglas_schroeder - To answer your direct question, I am a fuse skeptic and I only use a digital source.Thanks for including the reference to your blind testing review. Very interesting. There seems to be lots of confounding of variables in you... | |
| I learned the hard way @williewonka - I totally agree with you that NAIM, Ayre, and Gryphon are not borderline designs. | |
| I learned the hard way @williewonka - This amplifier/ high capacitance speaker cable issue is discussed by Roger Russell (former Macintosh designer) in the attached URL below. Scroll down to the "Amplifier Stability and Amplifier Performance" section.http://www.roger-r... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses No, I think George is trying to say the emperor has no clothes.Hearing, like everything that can be measured, has variation. Some can hear better than others; young hear better than old. The owner of Harbeth Speakers has an interesting challenge... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @georgehifi - Yes, I was kidding. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses GeorgeHiFi: It’s is clear to some of us that you don’t understand the limitations of the current state of audio engineering. Guys like Nelson Pass are OK as designers go but are not thorough and detailed enough to bring a complete solution to mark... | |
| Room acoustical treatments celtic66 - I'm a fan of Tim Perry's (Arqen) lean diffusor. Its a DIY project that would cost you a couple sheets of MDF.http://arqen.com/sound-diffusers/ |
