Not sure if its been mentioned yet, but there is a help article from Genelec website, which basically says hissing is normal / adjustable : https://support.genelec.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404783269394-When-I-m-close-to-the-speaker-I-can-hear-a-hissing-noise-is-this-normal FWIW, I own the...

Unfortunately, I live in a house with windows, and a neighborhood with other people and animals nearby. Dogs, birds, etc.. And often times, my HVAC is running which causes the vent noise. I'm also getting persistent traffic noise from the interstate that runs through my city. A constant 32Hz and...

Unfortunately I have not demoed the speakers in the title but own the old CM5 and have heard lots of demos from "exotic" dealers like Wilson, Linn, Focal. My recommendation is, for most domestic listening room sizes, you only need $10k-$15k for mains and $5k worth of subs in a well treated...

The highway near my house has seen increased traffic noise, with new construction and semi trucks blaring all night long. I can hear my HVAC system turn on and off, my kids like to play, the dogs like barking, birds are whistling, etc.. It seems like noise is just a normal part of life! However...

Gotta love auto correct! lol. And I guess by hi-fi, I mean the audio hobby scene as a whole. Stuff that might be discussed on this forum or sold at the struggling hi-fi shop down the street. Non mainstream, enthusiast grade gear, whether that be "pro" or "audiophile" grade... Some of those snake...

I've been really impressed with the strides that consumer audio industry has made the past 5-10 years to improve sound quality. I see good frequency response graphs and distortion figures, despite cheap drivers/housings. We now have lossless wireless connectivity, better DACs/amplifiers and big...

Would a sattelite system with small cubes work for you, where the sound bar is just a small center channel? Those tend to have better soundstage and imaging vs. a big soundbar in my experience. I heard some decent satellite systems from Samsung, Bose, and even Vizio and they have a nice small...

Never had "popping" issues within Studio One using M4 / Listen Bus as the output., but always have the popping problems with my BlackHole / HostingAU setup (for general system playback)... I'll be playing a song within Foobar or VLC with "BlackHole" set to system output (for the EQ) but...

Awesome info, I think I finally got it figured out! In Studio One, go to Console then right click into open space, add Aux channel. Next, Right Click that Aux channel and enable "Listen Bus". This automatically creates a new Audio Output device called "Listen Bus". It also automatically added...

Hello audio nerds! I've been using my M1 Mac Mini with BlackHole + HostingAU + AUNBandEQ to apply my REW correction curve to the entire system output, essentially highjacking the default sound output with a "virtual" audio device. My ADC/DAC is a Motu M4 feeding an SVS PB1000 Pro sub with 85Hz...

Our family subscribes to Apple Music and Qobuz, and I am a former Tidal subscriber. There actually was a time in my life when I was mostly on-the-go and streaming exclusively, using Tidal and bluetooth headphones, for the sheer convenience of it all. I eventually started critically listening...

I never got along with streaming. Too many weird omissions, crappy sounding remasters, jarring transitions between songs etc... I listen to full albums and have been collecting lossless files since 2006. I find a lot of my favorite artists have great "associated acts" and sub genres, which can...
