    distortion in bass question

    Hi all, I know EQ should try not to do any substantial bosst in nulls, but I recently tried to bost and flatten out my in room bass with distortion measured below (Using REW and UMIK1) I've done a ~6db boost at 50hz to make the FR this flat and it sounded quite nice to my ears (the level is...

    Equalizer APO, REW and Tidal problem

    Hi all, recently used REW and equalizer APO to achieve this L+R with harman target curve individual channel overlay FR with phase it sounded really nice to my ears, but a few questions to ask: 1) shall I try to EQ the phase in this situation? I have no idea how to do it, so if it's...

    Equalization APO question

    stupid question, I used REW to generate a curve and load into Equalizer APO, during installation I selected my dac as the installation. which I opened the configuration editor and see a set of filters effective. but do I need to somehow save it or activate it to be always on and having PEQ on...

    8030Cisopod cracks after 1 year

    As topic said I just discovered my 8030C pair have both isopods having hairline cracks forming as shown in picture, just wonders if this is common case for hot humid climate in HK. Sent support request to genelec and awaiting their opinion. What I wonders is that when the unmoved isopod can...

    In-ear measurements?

    I am wondering if any possibility to measure some great in ears, even CIEM in their universal demo version. I start wondering this since I owned the UERR for almost 5 years now, and since I have been using the genelec system for the past year, I am actually amazed by how close these two sounds...

    Measurement of always on discrete R2R dac after some use time

    Just wonders, are there any such measurement of those discrete R2R dacs which need constant on to look for any significant difference/ drifting happened? I know some like the holo audios measured great with their offerings but just wonders at technical point of view, say after a year or so how...

    Why isn't Topping offering some DAP products?

    @JohnYang1997 This question just come to my mind randomly as I am listening to my Sony ZX300 DAP which don't measure great and enjoys quite a bit at office. I am thinking when topping is able to roll out some many great desktop dac amp in the budget category with so good performance it...

    REW questions

    Hi all I just managed a permission to order UMIK 1 for using REW and try flicker around with my 8030C in room. I am thinking if the REW cal sw have incorporated a built in PEQ or something similar? or if I really want to do the optimization beside the dip switches in the 8030Cs I would need to...

    Passive Preamp

    Just got my passive preamp from Khozmo, I have to say the preliminary experience can only be said to be fantastic, build quality wise very good, and main thing is for a pure preamp it seems very good to be literally a wire with a knob, considering the modern speaker efficiency and the great...

    Any plan for Devialet Phantom measurement?

    those bass sounded really nice, and the 2.0 wireless system is really kind of fancy, it's way overpriced for me personally but it's interested to see how well (or not) engineered it is?

    Estimated in room response

    Just being curious about what distance the wall reflections for the Klippel system assumes for the reflections? I am wondering as I recently did some SPL measurements with sweep tones and my iphone to rough check my 8030C in my room, with 5cm rear space and front cupboard "wall" ~1m in front...

    Passive Preamp output impedance calculation

    Hi all, I am puzzled about the output impedance calculation for passive preamp such as the Khozmo one with 10k Ohm series attenuator like this https://www.khozmo.com/series_khozmo_attenuator.html from Arek it seems the input impedance of the preamp will always at 10k Ohm constant, but the...

    Passive pre amp impedance question

    Hi all, i am currently looking for a passive preamp to use with the 8030C and holo audio spring 2 dac since directly connecting the 8030c at min sensitivity to the dac makes loud level at 5% of dac output which just kills off the dac SINAD, currently I am using a Taurus mk II as preamp and set...
