| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system The ONLY system I’ve ever heard that I preferred flat over miy setup EQd (and I’ve heard many) was in Audible Images dedicated showroom which Ed meticulously crafted to be as close to perfect as possible. The system was Dan d’Agostino amplificati... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mijostyn have you tried in your extensive and impressive past putting a professional mastering equalizer in your chain? You said you tried analog but didn’t elaborate. What analog EQ did you try? As you well know, not all analog EQs are created... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I will “buy and try” so long as a return policy for full refund. Yes, ears (listening) first priority. In the end that’s all that matters. Psychoacoustic theory, Fourier, charts, graphs, timing vs amplitude, crosstalk…the lists goes on but all ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I’m not mad at all. Just adamant that I know what I hear is universally true. I’ve had too many people tell me my stereo sounds absolutely surreal to believe otherwise. You will never ever hear Pink Floyd Echoes from album Meddle cause your friend... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Now we are going circular argument, dog chasing tail. . I won’t try to convince you further. Please though, we must not conflate room correction digital EQ with tone control! You have already said you never boost treble with your digital applicat... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “Treble may be easier in a digital EQ implementation environment (from a programming viewpoint? I am only a tweaking audiophile, no engineer. But from my perspective on the hi fi playback end, treble EQ in its final sonic resultant SQ is HARDER to... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “EQ alone cannot give perfect natural timbre experience ...Physical acoustics is needed too ...”. agreed!! @mahgister , I have not by any stretch been ignoring your keen and excellent insights. I am just hyper focused on the one aspect of this dis... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system If anyone wants to see this it’s at Head Fi. Thread entitled Watts Up…? | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system His response is interesting: ”I am afraid I don't know the answer to that for sure - apart from knowing conventional EQ is subjectively flawed. I know a lot of recording engineers prefer analogue desks (using DACs and ADCs with analogue EQ), sayi... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “So Robb. Can I infer here that digital is not all the way there yet when it comes to tonally adding a treble boost, as compared with best studio analog hardware? Specifically talking about treble boost here, the “air band” “ The above is my foll... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “The problem with 64 bit floating point is that as the signal gets smaller, the resolution changes, and this creates noise floor modulation. OK so we are talking about over 300dB of innate resolution, but this is subjectively significant noise flo... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system My approach to all this would remain digital for room correction (mids down). Digital or analog for bass tone shaping/ bass boost. ANALOG ONLY for treble tone boost. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system The short second paragraph quoted also suggests that digital EQ just isn’t all the way there yet. The treble frequencies are hardest to EQ right, and while I’m no electrical engineer I’d be willing to bet they’re the one section of the frequency b... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Sounds to me like Rob would disagree with you. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mijostyn i found the following post on Head Fi by Rob Watts himself. Founder of Chord Electronics: ”PC's normal calculation is by 64b floating point (FP). There are serious perception problems with floating point as it innately creates noise f... |
