| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. I have discovered a new way for the CIA/FBI/DOD to coerce information from suspects. Make tham listen to test tones all day! Doing room measurements manually with a CD and RS SPL meter is agonizing and time consuming.Jim S. | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Per Shadornes' reco I purchased Rebecca Pidgeon, The Raven. Shadorne is absolutely correct. On "Spanish Harlem", the bass sequence cleary shows intensely audible bumps. Dumm, BOOM, BOOM, - BOOM, BOOM, Dumm, - BOOM, Dumm, Dumm. It is not subtle, no... | |
| Arcam fmj cd33 I don't have enough exposure to the players in that price range to say that it is the best for the money. You may want to consider an fmj CD23. I liked the 23 better than the 33. Although I didn't get to hear them side by side, it was in the same ... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Ok, I got it. To do a really serious analysis and correction, I am in way over my head and resources.

| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Onhwy61,Understand your first point. I am trying to look at trends over 20 to 30 hz. ranges. Started with the LF as it seems from previous threads that is where the largest gains for the effort come from.I was thinking about your second point last... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Plato,Thanks for the encouragement. I will work at it and see what I can learn.Soundgravy,No, I did not know the Rat Shack SPL meter was seriously inacurate. I will reread the thread (probably many times) and try to understand. Thanks for posting.... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Ngjockey,Thanks for the reference information. I was actually hoping the nonparallel walls would be helpful, not detrimental. Such is life!I have some work to do. I now have an idea what to look for. I will do more detailed measuring with the easy... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Again, THANK YOU ALL for taking the time to post your thoughts, even as I was typing the extra information above. I would have posted more at first but didn't want to complicate what may have been a simple situation.You have provided a multitude o... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Thank you all for your responses. I was hoping to see 7 or 8 posts saying that's easy, diffusion. But I posted to leverage your experience before purchasing and it has already paid off.Did a little more testing and review of the data. Found some h... | |
| Arcam CD player history Pardales,Shoe is right. The DCS "FIFO" DAC and "Ring" DAC are the same. It was also used in at least 1 of the DIVA players. Hopefully these links will work. http://www.arcam.co.uk/alpha/index.htmlhttp://www.arcam.co.uk/archive/index.htmlJim S. | |
| Arcam CD player history Sorry, the 33 & 36 DACs were/are dual channel 24/192 upsampling Wolfson. Although I vaguely remember reading that the DCS chips upsampled. I don't know to what speed and word length.Also, the Diva's are the less costly cousins. I am not famili... | |
