| Room Correction That is how I do it is as well. Not because I believe the digitization degrades the sound, but because room equalization above the Schroeder frequency (in my room about 90 Hz) is not feasible. Of course, just equalizing the subs leaves the bott... | |
| SACD vs. Blu-Ray for audio quality/sonics No, my BD player plays cd's with the tv turned off. It has its own litle display, just like a cd player. The idea that you need your tv to be on is only true for modern budget BD players that no longer have analogue outputs. They output through hd... | |
| Room Correction I agree that good acoustics are important. However, below the Schroeder frequency this is basically a matter of the size/dimensions of the room. The bigger the room the lower the Schroeder frequency, and the more the inevitable room modes can be k... | |
| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio Indeed, the science was settled ages ago and has not changed. | |
| Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed? If you want to play your tapes, just buy a decent analogue to digital converter, rip your tapes to your NAS, and then sell your Nakamichi. You do not need a separate pre amplifier - your Oppo is perfectly fine for that. If inserting a pre amplifie... | |
| Room Correction It is a myth. Just read up on the Nyquist Shannon theorem. If you can refute this, you are in line for a Nobel prize. | |
| Vitus SIA-025 Mk2... Does it run hot in class-A? How about an argument? | |

| Room Correction Well, setting up your speakers properly is certainly a lot less hassle than forever worrying about cables. It also makes a far bigger difference. As the guide Michelin would say: vaut le voyage. | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? If the room is really small (like my 18sqm study) I think nothing beats the Harbeth P3ESR speakers. Since they are a closed system, they can also be located relatively closely to the wall. In a somewhat larger room one could add two small subwoofe... | |
| Switching to solid state amp? Tubes tend to have a few disadvantages, apart from the inconvenience:1 higher distortion, even though some like that.2 load dependent frequency response. The best are borderline OK, but many have a terrible frequency response under realistic speak... | |
| Velodyne DD-18 vs Martin Logan BF 12” I like subs. However, they can produce more room modes, and that sounds horrible. Therefore I would advice to go for multiple smaller subs (at least two and perhaps four, if you can find locations for them), plus room equalization like the DSpeake... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under Isn't accuracy needed to reproduce the music? | |
| Room Correction I think the apprehension about digital room correction is misguided. Analogue is by no means superior (that is an audiophile myth).Room acoustics should be divided into two areas: above and below the so called Schroeder frequency, in your case pro... | |
| GoldenEar vs Dynaudio vs Nola vs ProAc vs Everything else. Harbeth SHL5+ with two subwoofers (and Antimode 8033 equalization)? The Harbeths like a fair bit of power, so I would recommend solid state amplification of 2x250 watt or more. |
