Erin's measurements may be a useful reference for further tweaking (more commentary in the video on that page): https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/mofi_8/ These speakers measure extremely well both on and off-axis, and you seem to have the tools you need to make tweaks to the...

I'll try comparing with the big Sony Szell box if I have a chance.

Qobuz gives a 2024 release date. The bit-depth and sample rate are irrelevant IMO.

According to a review in the May/June Fanfare, the latest 2024 remastering of the Szell Beethoven cycle is a definite improvement, though I've lost track of how many times it's been digitally remastered before. Listening to Symphony No. 1 now via Qobuz. Sounds fantastic. Unfortunately, there...

How far are the speakers from the wall behind them? What distances from the wall have you tried? Also, what is your preferred volume? You can measure this with a phone app like the NIOSH app. Does the bass control on the amp have a positive effect? In my experience, a single sub just adds...

The brutefir docs have some discussion of partitioned convolution. https://torger.se/anders/brutefir.html#bruteconv_3 Usually one would just use the suggested default for your sampling rate (e.g. as in the CamillaDSP docs) and only adjust it if you experience dropouts.

"Punch" is more about the mid-bass, so I don't think a subwoofer will add what you are looking for. A sub will fill in the bottom octaves, and if used with a crossover (provided by an AVR, miniDSP, or similar electronics) can take some strain off the mains. What is the size of the room the...

I think he'll still provide the plots. Having the raw data would be interesting, particularly if there's a way to, say, compute an anechoic impulse response at a particular position that could be fed to room correction software.

He's been having issues with maintaining the website, so he's decided he'll provide everyone (not just his patreon subscribers) with a link to the data on Dropbox in future.

Here's some info on how to use REW to measure the ETC: https://www.gikacoustics.com/unpacking-etc-time-domain-measurements-early-reflections/

9 dB is actually a typical gain for a "line" preamplifier. And most people will never get above 0 dB.

I'd put that in alphabetical order under N in compilations, after the composers and artists sections.

If you don't mind using TRS to XLR cables, I've been very happy with the Motu Ultralite Mk 5. It has 10 analog outputs. No remote control, but you can control it over the network via phone or laptop using the Cuemix app. Also I just saw on another thread that HiFiBerry now has an 8-channel...

The sub(s) and mains need to be phase aligned at the crossover frequency (peaks and troughs arriving at the same time at the listening position). It's nice if the sub is also time aligned (initial impulses arriving at the listening position at the same time) as well, but it's not always...

I've been experimenting with a DIY 4.0 setup. The center channel is attenuated by 3 dB and mixed in to the front channels. I'm not sure what to do with the few music recordings with info in the LFE channel. Some recordings even have full-range signals in the LFE channel. Any idea what...

I just updated to v3 to try the new link_volume_control feature so I could control camilladsp volume using the volume slider in any LMS controller app (e.g. the Material Skin web app). Documentation for link_volume_control at https://github.com/HEnquist/camilladsp/blob/master/backend_alsa.md...

Too horny looking for me.

I tried something like that: Results were underwhelming. I think the panel is too narrow. Also I had it aimed on the speaker axis, but it looks like the sound has to travel in a lateral direction to bounce off the sloped ceiling. The floor bounce is down to 18dB below the main peak and the...

Followup: I did some listening tests with the 8 foot listening distance and 9 foot speaker separation, but I could not get a comfortable sweet spot with that arrangement, so I increased the listening distance by about 8 inches to 260 cm and the speaker seperation to 297 cm (sorry for the mixed...

There's another reflection at nearly the same level at about 11 ms after the main peak from the right speaker, with a 5 dB quieter reflection from the left speaker right after that as seen on the right edge of he ETC plot below (y-axis is dB and x-axis is seconds). I think these must be...
