Great write up! I completely understand your IF, but the options of placement and room treatment is limited in my family room.
Today I hooked it up like this using my denon as the "equalizer box".
I sounds good. I'll make a comparison to an pre amp with a rumble/subsonic filter in it.
Hifi...
Think so, but did something similar. Fed the singel out of the pre-amp to my denon in stead of directly into the integrated amp. This let's me take advatage of dirac live (which runs on the denon) and it sounds amazing
Thanks for you thoughts
Yeah saw that, but opted for putting a phone pre amp in between the table and the denon and it sounds great, dirac @ work Kill the boominess
Thanks for the tip!!
Rocking brothers in arms Money for nothing and my feet are tapping!
Oh, sorry didn't understand. Interesting....
I just found a possible solution, the ifi phono zen air. It has a subsonic filter for rumble and subsonic bass and its only 100 euro. Going to try this on its own and If no sufficient via the denon!
I could do that but it is a denon 3800h, which has a great measuring digital section, but I think the phono pre amp Is an afterthought and not very good.
I tried it that way when I bought the table but I really don't like the sound. Thats why I bought the pre amp module for the atoll... which...
Hi all, thanks a lot for all the input!!
I'm sure its not mechanica as I tried the table in diff positions and even holding it down/pressing down on it, but did not change the bomminess. Next to this I can even recreate it in the digital domain by switching of the room correction. That the...
I use dirac live (room correction or form of dsp) to correct the bass of the digital signal.
If I switch that off I get the same mega boomy bass, so I know for sure that its the room gain.
That why I'm looking for a way to control the bass output of the turntable
Hi all,
My journey in short: stated out with avr 5.1, upgraded the system with an atoll in200 for 2 channel listing (streaming via my avr) and lately bought a turntable. (speakers were q acoustics > monitor audio silver and latest upgrade Arendal 1723 s towers, such a big step just LOVE them)...
I bought and installed single sub dlbc and put that into my slot 1 and compared it to my normal dirac live full bandwidth curve slot 2 (which has my own custom crossover made into the curve of the fronts and sub) and could not hear any difference. The bass was the same to my ears. Tried it with...
Think this is highly dependent on the situation. In non ideal rooms the standard dirac live already add significant (more) value (than Audyssey)
I have such a room and dirac is very noticeably better than Audyssey. Better balance, more detail, better bass management..
