    Introducing the Phono Cartridge Measurement Library

    This thread is so great but it's a bit time consuming to go through all the individual posts to find out which ones are the top performing carts. Has anyone extracted a top 5 list yet?

    Purchase advice after Genelec 8341

    Decisions decisions! I have sold my Gennies 8341 and Arendal sub to free up some cash. I am looking to replace them with something cheaper, but as good as possible. I am thinking either: - Genelecs 8340 (price is $5,000 AU) - Genelecs 8040 with a sub (around $5,000 AU) - Kef Ls50 wireless II...

    Properties of speakers that creates a large and precise soundstage

    Hi everyone, it has been a minute. I am getting rid of my Genelecs 8341 to free up some cash, and I am thinking of replacing these either with a non-coaxial design such as Genelecs 8040b, or another coaxial design such as Kef's R3s. I enjoy a lot the 3d sound staging that the 8341 can depict...

    REW instructions to test subwoofer compression on burst tones

    Hello, could anyone kindly point me to some laymen-level instructions to use REW to check if my subwoofer is compressing burst tones at my typical listening volume? I do not mean long-term (swipe-like) compression, I already know it compresses a fair bit in the long term test. But will it...

    Thank you. What is the recommended distance for diffusion?

    Small Room Treatment

    So, reading back the suggestions I get quite confused. Should I use broadband absorption at first reflection points, or diffusion, or both, or nothing? I would not mind increasing clarity a little now that the centre image is fixed.

    Small Room Treatment

    I think I found the reason of the soundstage being constantly shifted to the right. Cheap hearing test shows a sizeable gap between my right ear (red line) and left one (blue line). After some trial and error I compensated by increasing the right channel affected frequencies by 1\4 of the gap...

    Small Room Treatment

    do you mean corner bass traps, or to fill the nooks next to the fireplace where the subs are with membrane bass traps? Note that there is a window in the left nook

    Thank you. I extended spectro and added clarity. Note that some of the previous graph were for the left channel only (now they are all correct for LR).

    Really sorry, I realized that some charts were for the left channel only. I have now replaced these with the correct ones for both speakers. I also added ETC and extended Spectro to 10 Hz. I would be very grateful if you all could check if your previous comments still apply.

ROOM The room is not large being 470cm L x 340cm W x 330cm H. It has a brick wall on the left, front, and back, and a plaster wall on...

    Are XLR cables with wall plugs ok for active speakers?

    Thank you but I guess my question was, what if I use 110ohms XLR cables under the floor, rather than standard XLRs. Will the fact that there are 2 plug connections along the way become important if I wanted to send a digital signal through that cable? If not, I might as well install 110 ohm...
