    Never Put Subwoofers In Corners... Even with DSP and Multi-Sub Setups?

    You're clueless dude. Those Helmholtz resonators are built to order for suckers who think they'll do anything. You ignored my point about EQ. I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.

    Never Put Subwoofers In Corners... Even with DSP and Multi-Sub Setups?

    Definitely not right. At best, filling your room with ugly bass traps might ever so slightly reduce the low frequency room distortions. Those are much more easily fixed with an additional subwoofer. To have any effect, traps must be large and heavy. If you want to spend $20,000, you could...

    Never Put Subwoofers In Corners... Even with DSP and Multi-Sub Setups?

    That stuff (bass traps) doesn't do anything besides fill your listening room with ugly junk.

    Schiit Freya S Preamplifier Review 2

    Functionally that would work. But you really don't want to combine audio channels using a wye (Y), it will not give you the results you want. For example, summing two 50 hz signals that are 180* out of phase will give you silence. You can put a switch on the rca inputs to the subwoofer, but...

    dbx DriveRack VENU360 Review (audio processor)

    Good choice on the Studio, I love mine. I use the Dirac room correction on the SHD Studio (it's only L+R), and the equalization/room correction on the Venu360 does per-speaker adjustments (L+R+4 subs)

    dbx DriveRack VENU360 Review (audio processor)

    We are at the point now where there is literally no difference in audible performance between a $100 DAC and a $10,000 DAC. Their errors are so much smaller than the human threshold of hearing that debating it is pretty silly at this point. That being said, errors are cumulative. If you have...

    Schiit Freya S Preamplifier Review 2

    I have thousands of $ in tubes for my Freya +, but almost always find myself just using it in passive mode. Big +1 for the Freya S in passive mode (transitive property).

    DBX Driverack Venu 360 - initial impressions

    Yes trivially easy. The Venu360 accepts up to 3 input channels, the PA2 accepts 2. Those channels can be routed to any combination of your 6 output channels (4 for pa2?) For your second question - I don't think it's ever bypassable. Even with an analog in and analog out, the system needs to...

    Computer Optimization of Room Acoustics

    My question was worded confusingly. I meant in general - how would you recommend time aligning a subwoofer channel to a full frequency channel?

    Computer Optimization of Room Acoustics

    How do you recommend doing it? I alluded to this same point w.r.t. the timing reference used when measuring subwoofer channels. That was doable, but when it came to integrating, I mostly just fiddled with the crossover between the MSO 'sub' and mains. I had to create a significant delay for my...

    Computer Optimization of Room Acoustics

    I'd be happy to help. It's not complicated, but it is a lot of effort. There are just a lot of things that need to be accommodated in your project: Part 1: Configuration subwoofer channels each subwoofer's available EQ adjustments gain delay polarity inversion parametric EQ (which includes...

    Curious to know your ROON hardware

    I have my core on my gaming PC. It has more horsepower than Roon could ever need. The problem is Windows likes to restart my computer. So I don't fault Roon for that one! I fault Roon for my iPad app crashing all the time though :)
