| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Giving @bigwave1 a shout out for favorably mentioning his Charter Oak PEQ-1 on “biggest influence on…” thread recently. Thanks Dave! Dave has always killer system. BTW, I brought my 3rd CO unit up to Audible Images in Melbourne FL. Heard it in b... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I am super curious how well treble target curves work when you have actively done crossover using your high end DSP system and biamping. So very curious. @mijostyn ? Comments? We’re talking a broad bell centered at 15khz with a Q of 0.65-1. 1 pr... | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... Would echo bigwave1 on Charter Oak PEQ-1. Couldn’t have said it better myself, Dave! | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @jtcf , still enjoying your studio equalizer? | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I confess to being lazy in the last year with pursuing digital EQ for both room correction or target curves. One day…it’s hard to make changes to something so good. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system A little update on aftermarket PCs from an EQ perspective. Joy of all joys, two great things are observed with my system nowadays. 1. More and better bass. Better more popping and detailed articulation in mids. These are great great baseline chan... | |
| A life sentence!!! @tattooedtrackman , no, it’s you MQ-112! | |
| A life sentence!!! Easy one. My Charter Oak PEQ-1. It is critical to creating my own “house sound” with any given other components. Everything else dispensable. 😉🎶 | |
| Replacement same model tweeters like a major component upgrade ML was right that the tweeters have settled a tad and treble while still better than previous is a smidge less | |
| Why some streaming hi res versions are lower SPL “The best hi-res releases keep the original dynamics while adding clarity.” Totally concur. If they don’t sound as such, I try to play 16/44.1 version. | |
| New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer Ok yes. Sorry the assumption. I started a thread on this topic as it really interests me. Why some hi res remasters are great and others aren’t. I am sure a lot of variables other than compression or lack thereof go into it. I just think one shoul... | |
| New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer In theory you are right that this quieter less compressed version should always sound better. But often I find anyway that it does not. Streaming services give you the opportunity to quickly start one version and then another. Even volume adjustin... | |
| New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer I would really appreciate a response to my query above. I am truly having a hard time understanding why some hi res versions of their cd red book counterparts to me sound quieter and less dynamic, even with a quick volume compensation the level of... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system All these changes- new power cords, new digital spdif cord, and last but not least new tweeters- have the system fully saturated to the point to where the EQ settings are much better. And less. No more tricks like needing to bump up mids slightly ... | |
| New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer Ok. Different question. Because I need to sort this out and need the help of the community. Can someone please stream the 192 version and then the 16/44.1 version and tell me if the 192 is several dbs quieter? Like I hear? Maybe my dac is broken. |
