| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? @retiredfarmer I will try getting banana to spade converters; will go to my local shop this week. Then I can try my old amp. I'm not sure the issue will be detectable on lower-resolving equipment however. The issue was barely noticeable (but I did... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? Thanks @djones51 , I will try that. I'm not sure if the variation is "big" or not. I am very sensitive to tonal imbalances, so it could in fact be very small. Although my wife can immediately hear it as well. Also, while it is blatantly notice... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? @ghdprentice thanks; actually that is my daughter peeking out! She tends to do that and I don’t even notice... At least component-wise, it has to be either my amp or the DAC module in my amp. Can't see how a USB streamer would cause an imbalance... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @ronboco , I tested many different speaker cables and power cords, mid to top end, from Audioquest, Shunyata, Transparent, and Nordost. Nothing came close to the Nordost Valhalla 2’s for the speaker cables. Didn’t like the Nordost power cords, b... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? Okay, so I spent half my Saturday totally tearing apart my living room, removing the couch, and bringing in large cushions, moving blankets, and cardboard (my speaker boxes), to play with various configurations. I also tried the "excessive toe-in... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? I should have been clearer, but when I s said “higher frequencies”, I actually mean upper mids as well. You can notice that upper part of vocals is toned down on the right, which is annoying. I tried putting thick moving blankets along the left ... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? Thanks all for the info. I found this great video discussing narrow vs wide dispersion speakers and it covers some of the principles that we’ve discussed here. Wide vs Narrow Dispersion | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? @jetter it 100% did occur with my first speakers, just not quite as much. These two speakers have a much different presentation in the mid and higher frequencies. My old speakers sound muddy by comparison. I think this is why the problem is more p... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? @erik_squires , in my cases I don’t know that your explanation is what his happening, since there is no wall to the left of my listening position (I’ve uploaded photos of my room to my profile). | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? @erik_squires and @audphile1 , I was thinking about your suggestion to put dampening on the left. I was thinking that to the left of the couch, maybe I need a freestanding panel/divider with some dampening installed to it. Do you think this might ... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? @milpai good idea. I will try your suggestion to block off the “jut-out” on the right side, but I’ll need a LOT of cardboard, and it will be tough with the 12ft vaulted ceilings. I won’t be able to block it off practically but I can partially and ... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? @ghdprentice I will upload photos later this evening. Regarding placement and toe-in, I’ve tried many different positions and various toe in and the right side sounds soft in the high frequencies no matter what…. Its noticeably worse on some trac... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? My drawing sort of worked! I should also note that the high-frequency suckout doesn't seem to take effect if you stand in front of the speakers before the right-hand wall gets closer to the you. If you continue walking backwards, you can hear th... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? For me I ended up with 100% Audioquest, dragons for 2 high current cords and Hurricanes for everything else, except for speaker cables, where I went Nordost Valhalla 2. Based on this thread I’ll likely go Hurricane High Currents for the subs, whic... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? I did actually chase the unicorn with cabling for my main system l, and am now done with that, after testing loads of cables and driving myself and my family nuts blind AB testing many cables. It’s definitely rabbit hole that once you change one t... |
