    Elac Debut Reference DBR-62 Speaker Review

    thankyou - Front L/R to replace JBL A130s which are pretty good but quite difficult to EQ with the basic EQ available on my Denon 7200, and would like something with a bit more dynamic range - current setup Front L/R JBL A130 Front Dolby Upfirers - KEF Q50a Center Genelec 8030C Rears KEF Q350...

    Elac Debut Reference DBR-62 Speaker Review

    struggling between DBR62, DB63 and Polk R200 for Home Theater use R200 seems to be better at higher volumes/lower distortion in mid-range ? here in the UK all similar price (<£400 a pair) except DB63 which is fair amount cheaper

    Is the amplifier of SVS subs unreliable?

    I've had my PC-13 Ultra from new at a guess for about 15 years I have had to replace the amplifier plate twice in that time First to blow was the original BASH amp 2nd - a replacement Sledge 3rd one now is a Sledge with built in DSP - still working - cost £390 so not exactly cheap although...

    Speaker phase - how to test if out of phase ?

    thanks very much for your reply - I'll try the sum of the curves in REW thanks I updated my post to say I found that the speakers were out of phase with centre when Dolby Upmixer set to On - as in Multi In + Dolby Surround no idea why must be part of the way it works with Upmixer set to off -...

    Speaker phase - how to test if out of phase ?

    <EDIT> was mostly user error - I had "Dolby upmixer" set on rather than straight Multichannel In - with it set off the speakers are correctly in phase how odd - but must be part of the way the upmixer works please can you help me interpret the results - these after time alignment and I did...

    Hiss List (S&R)

    Subjectively - I don't have measurements but ref the following active speakers I have: JBL LSR 305 - very faint hiss - can't hear unless within about 30cm and then I have to really listen for Genelec 8030c - extremely low level of hiss - practically would need ear very near to tweeter JBL LSR...

    Denon X7200w - Speaker Output Issue and another question ref Front Height vs Front Dolby

    thankyou I did think an alternative "solution" (pretty rubbish one but might work) would be to attach the 2 sets of speaker cables connected to the problematic terminals to the cabinet above under vertical tension bit like some people do with heavy graphics cards in PCs to combat "droop"

    Denon X7200w - Speaker Output Issue and another question ref Front Height vs Front Dolby

    thanks very much Doodski and kyuu for the equivalent photo and the schematics It is odd that the 2 terminals affected are next or near to each other which made me wonder if was further up the chain than just the immediate connection to the board but I guess maybe both could have been knocked...

    Denon X7200w - Speaker Output Issue and another question ref Front Height vs Front Dolby

    I did think I could work around for at least one pair (only one of pair affected) by using the custom amplifier setting to use "Height 1 Left" and "Height 1 Right" which are further over but no matter what configuration I set I can't get the Denon to allow me to use them - haven't worked out why...

    Denon X7200w - Speaker Output Issue and another question ref Front Height vs Front Dolby

    thankyou for the reply - the first one I noticed being problematic was connected via banana plugs, I replaced the banana plugs and no improvement. I then went to bare wire and whilst thought had fixed to start with the problem came back again. Apply some vertical pressure on the terminal...

    Denon X7200w - Speaker Output Issue and another question ref Front Height vs Front Dolby

    2 questions please: 1st off - I seem to have an issue with at least 2 terminals on my Denon X7200W - seems to be the Surround Back Right and Front Wide Left terminals - ie next to each other over time the outputs to these speakers get lower and lower and the low frequencies reduce, if I put...

    Recommendation for a USB Audio-interface DAC/ADC for ADC performance

    10 minutes apart, maybe the Audio Interface is picking up some external interference - find it hard to believe it would cool down in 10 minutes

    Recommendation for a USB Audio-interface DAC/ADC for ADC performance

    ah yes that makes sense thanks for the reply so far the results have been very good with the dongle (thankyou) - reference the noise it seems variable - I was thinking gain related but I am now wondering if it is also temperature dependant as it seems (not sure yet) it might be worse in the day...

    Recommendation for a USB Audio-interface DAC/ADC for ADC performance

    happy to say detection sensitivity much much better with the Apple dongle thankyou one question though please have you ever seen this pattern of "noise" - any any idea where from ? Its odd - I have seen horizontal lines (but completely straight lines) before with the Ugreens but not this...

    Recommendation for a USB Audio-interface DAC/ADC for ADC performance

    the BirdNET app is fantastic - via the BirdNET Pi put at the bottom of garden it has completely revolutionised my view of the birds visiting and flying over the garden (I'm a very keen birder and the results have really surprised me) even just raptors, already have recordings of Kestrel...

    Recommendation for a USB Audio-interface DAC/ADC for ADC performance

    thanks very much - can confirm works fine with just the SC4 have only just plugged in - but the gain/sensitivity seems to be much much greater than with the other adapter ! and alsamixer only set to 48/100 before I was maxed out at 100 I am very surprised by how huge a difference there is I...

    Recommendation for a USB Audio-interface DAC/ADC for ADC performance

    thanks for the heads-up I use a TRS to TRRS converter (Rode SC4) - I will look-up to see if I also need a splitter thankyou

    Recommendation for a USB Audio-interface DAC/ADC for ADC performance

    ah sorry didn't realise the versions indicated US vs EU I thought there were US/EU versions of each - thankyou ref graphs and distortion - oops I was reading them the wrong way round ! have ordered the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm I'll let you know how it compares - should arrive tomorrow many thanks...

    Recommendation for a USB Audio-interface DAC/ADC for ADC performance

    thankyou and oops I was reading the graphs the wrong way round ! quick question please, as I live in the EU, presumably the EU output limit would only apply to the headphone out and not any voltage sent to a mic ? many thanks

    Recommendation for a USB Audio-interface DAC/ADC for ADC performance

    thanks very much indeed for those graphs - much appreciated. I can apply a boost in software to manually listen/check identification correct (I use Audacity) - but in the chain between the recording and it being analysed I've not yet found a way to boost looking at all of your graphs, although...
