Hello, I'm having trouble understanding and diagnosing my tweeter's impulse and step response. The negative peak seems to be greater than the positive, and the positive seems to be split. This was measured using a UMK-1 3 inches away from the driver. I'm unsure what to make of it, whether...

I made a horrid ported sound bar 4yrs ago when I was complete newb to the topic. And frankly, I'm still newb. Now I know little better than 4yrs ago and also not satisfied with the sound it's making, I decided to tear the sound bar and and salvage drivers. So Now I have 4 drivers of Peerless...

Ever since I bought this speaker I've been thinking about removing the bass reflex cover. This is a quick change to make but I'm not sure and would like some opinions. This speaker has good sound quality but does not respond very well to bass. I have achieved a good level of low frequencies...

Was perusing the SB Acoustics website for drivers and came across a new 3-way speaker design: https://sbacoustics.com/product/gema/ Appears aimed at the market for those pining for the days of big woofers with wide baffle cabinets.... The drivers are all pretty reasonable however it uses a...

I really wanted to try the new MD60N-6 dome mid from SB Acoustics. I was looking at it for a while and I hoped it will have a discount at some point but no such luck. I then decided to buy it and build a pair of tower speakers. For the low end I chose the MW19P-8 woofer as it had great reviews...

Well was planning to wait until a later date to announce this, but the budget Directiva project required that I exchange the Seas DXT tweeter and so it seemed the time had arrived. To date all Directiva speakers have used the DXT tweeter but as I worked on a budget version I realized that the...

I am planning to build my first own headphone cable for my modded DT770pro with 3Pin mini XLR connector and need help with soldering. I bougth the following components for it: Cable)Mogami 2893 Microphone cable, Neglex Quad Miniatur, 4.8mm (Mini XLR Adapter 3 Pin) Rean RT3FC-B (1/4 Jack)...

I'll update this post as I have time, with images and text. Whoever wishes to contribute in any way, please do. Most generally, there are 2 main ways one can go about this to achieve similar results - that is, good sound. 1) make everything from few components of really high quality 2)...

Ever since Directiva r1 specified the pricey Purifi woofer, there have been requests for a lower cost version. I have been shopping less expensive woofers and am prepping to evaluate them. The initial evaluation will continue with the Seas DXT tweeter but may consider others as it has become...

This is a review and measurements of the Anaview ALC0100-2300 amp module. It is a compact design delivering 2x50W into 4 ohms with a built in power supply, and was on sale from 2010. It is still on sale for EUR121 per unit (https://www.lautsprechershop.de/hifi/anaview_uebersicht_en.htm). At...

Hello everyone, after about six months of second thoughts and changes I present to you my Christmas present. It's a network streamer, but I'd call it PC audio. For now only the first part is completed, the second part which is just a cabinet containing the DAC (smsl DO300) is still WIP, but from...

Greetings, this is just a general presentation of what kind of an audio system I would like to build and if everything will work together. Thank you in advance. Parts: - Speakers: Kef Ls50 Meta (already have- found good local second hand deal) also nice banana plugs and cables - Streamer: Wiim...

I have recently bought a DMP-A6. I have a separate audio system hooked up to a computer I work on every day, and the DMP-A6 is plugged into my second stereo system, which is located underneath my TV. The DMP-A6 is all great, however, one thing was quite irritating - the inability to control the...

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to the collective expertise of this forum for advice on improving the acoustics of our studio. It's uniquely situated in the heart of Paris, nestled in the second basement of a historic building, and boasts a distinct pentagonal shape. Our budget for acoustic...

I got a used Heresy and due to rought shipping and lack of packing, the gain lever on the back was in this conditions: And aside from the actual "feel" of the lever the functionality is also kinda broken, the only way to get high gain is to fiddle with the position untill you can hear...

Having just sold my Buckeye Puriifi amp, realized I had all parts available to build an EVAL1 except the case. Had been searching for a case with serious heat sinks but Ghent’s case is nice heavy aluminum and the back is cutout for the EVAL1 with nice silkscreening. I opted for the version with...

I'm about to get a MOTU Ultralite mk5 to pair with an SBC for CamillaDSP/streaming, but unfortunately Raspberry Pi 4s are still hard to find at decent prices. There are plenty of alternative SBCs and small form-factor PCs out there, but it's hard to narrow it down to one that's not too weak nor...

Hi ASR, it's been almost 2 years since I first heard about cardioid speaker design being implemented in mass-production (it was during D&D ad campaign I guess). Last year I had a chance of listening to 8c and KH310 (w. 750 sub) side by side along with some Amphions, and while I disliked the"out...

Is there someone around here interested in offering PCB board design and assembly for a DIY DAC project? I started to get interested in this after watching videos as follows: I'm an IT guy, but I have close to zero knowledge on electronics design so I'm looking for someone interested in...
