No way to automate that strategy?

The best by far, excellent loudness implementation, with complete adjustability/customisation and progressive in and out effect according to volume I know of, is the one in RME ADI DACs line( both 2 and Pro). Actually, togheter with the great phone amp, it is The reason it is the the centerpiece...

Fair enough.

Why not let that lay down..?Heissman has been generous with the DIY community, with nice stuff for free on his site, duplicating one of is designs, that he developed for (little) profit doesn't seem ethical to me.

HI, Rick has answered this already, but as a doctor, let me emphasize this : Do NOT use fiberglass on speaker filling, other than closed boxes, but even then, I would never do it , (if you do, used appropriate protection, at minimum N95 mask, goggles, gloves, gown when opening it ) With...

Very bad name choice for a device that heats up considerably... :)..I would not leave it unattended playing high spl anthemic passages. AH! Just saw what Sal wrote above :)

Also, studio monitors are a certain shape (no or very few floorstanders), and usually optimized according to their size for a certain listening distance and playback level ( smallish for near-field, already largish for mid field and mains huge beasts , capable of very high spl) However, in hi...

This is great value in the scheme of current audio affairs, functionality and technically wise leaps and bounds ahead of 99,8% of hifi DACs. USB and one setting for both channels is better than nothing, but PEQ to be really usefull has to be available separately to each right and left channel...

68 pages is waaay too much to deal with right now.. Can someone tell me where we are at on this subject, and how I can contribute monetarily, as I have o relevant skill to offer?

The way Kurt Denker fron Blue Jeans cables handled the bullying from those Monsters Cablers.... Damn..!! After reading this, I feel an unredeameable urge to buy cables from them, should they still conduct their business with this kind of ethics..

The thing Kef seems to consistently underdo subjectively for me is the bass. They allow for to much room gain on their upper echelon speakers for my taste, and so end up sounding a bit wimpy and thin, while their older Ref series (threes and fours) were a bit the contrary..Correcting and...

Someone that wants to build a well documented, real kit, or has limited funds, and has found they prefer their sound with some 2nd harmonic spice and do not need loads of power, may get this. I am founding that objective excellence unfortunatelly is not always the end be all for me, in terms of...

Thanks, just browsed it, will look into it a bit more. Usually, just the name would make me look elsewhere ;) . It does not seem to do frequency dependent windowing or digital crossovers however, and I wiil have to see how to make this work in Roon.

Hi, love your avatar, tinnitus, (also here unfortunately), and have been toying with the idea of trying some Ripoles myself.(are those..?) How do you find Audiovero DSP to work with and its SQ results compared to other solutions if you have tried alternatives? I had been toying with the idea...

I own three different UniQs, he ones in the 205 Ref, those on 205.2 Ref, and last gen, non meta R7/R11. They all sound very different unfiltered, even the 205 and 205.2, wich use the same cone material and are just an update on the same model ( but very diff geometry, suspension and tweeter)...

The dispersion and frequency smoothness that continuously curved baffle and UniQ surrounding material/waveguide plus force cancelling and apparent single source those bass drivers arrangement afford, should make them sound different I would expect... the REF is really just a most excellent...

That's a different kettle of fish... I think someone that likes a KEF LS 50, and there are loads, may perfectly be ok with the smaller Gen. Ones, especially in white or bespoke finishes, particularily if you put them atop a sideboard or a media center furniture piece..The bigger 85s and 86s will...

QUOTE "I'm not sure the Blade looks that much better than the 8381" If your significant other is into modern design, they will find the Blade probably palatable. I love them aesthetically, and I own a 205 Kef Ref in cherry, my family likes them in our living room. The Genelec on the other hand...

Probably has to do with lower distortion, more headroom at a bit higher frequencies, and finish quality. Getting deep, dynamic and high output bass at a very low distortion is an expensive endeavour, to get to where the KF is, it very probably compromised somewhere, and I would bet distortion.
