measurements

Today I'll present mainly a summary of partial measurements of my QUAD Artera PRE analog preamp. The manual is finally available online and you can find it here. Like the rest of the Atera series, it is quite a looker in a clean kind of way: The back shows it has three sorts of outputs...

Is that really a Klipsch speaker ? o_O Edit: Text data is up: https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/klipsch_the_nines/

Octavio Stream - Review & Measurements Hi Folks, Today's review is about the Octavio Stream, which, as its name suggests, is... a streamer, and by coincidence, the second French product in a row to be measured. It was sent to me directly by the manufacturer, represented here by the...

Hi, My first post here. I have been scrapping the internet for reliable information about the behringer Monitor2USB. We all know the popularity this brand has, but it's a very attractive product for those on a budget. So far the only complains I found refer to the cheap knobs used. Has anyone...

I am sharing my REW measurements seeking for conclusions, thoughts, EQ and/or room treatment advise. What you see are the measurements of my main(2,2m) as well as my secondary(5m) listening position in a 30m2 non treated but really cared(curtains, carpets, furniture, canvas, positioning) room...

Atoll DAC200 Signature - Review & Measurements Hey folks, Planned for a while, finally comes my first review about an Atoll product, and the first extensive measurements of any Atoll DAC to date. For those who are not familiar with the name, Atoll Electronique, while not widespread...

Hi everybody. This is my first post here. Hopefully I can give this very well informed community something back... Personal tastes vary a lot. I personally always loved the "theatrical" sound color. After years of acoustics, speaker and dsp optimizations, a good transient and nice time domain...

S.M.S.L PO100 AK - Measurements / Round 2 Hi folks, This is an update over my previous measurements of the S.M.S.L PO100 family. I will focus precisely on the PO100 AK, which not only is an USB to S/PDIF converter (as are the PO100 and PO100 PRO) but also a budget DAC, that claims to perform...

Recently, I installed some acoustic panels in my listening room of the "slat wall" type, and I took the opportunity to make some before-and-after measurements. I'm posting it here as a service to the community, in case it is of interest. For some background, I live in an apartment with an...

WiiM Pro - Review & Measurements Hey folks, It is time for my first review of 2023... This one is about a complete objective analysis of the new WiiM Pro streamer. The aforementioned has been recently announced, back in November 2022, and I can see quite a strong hype around it since. That...

Hello everyone, I am a vintage audio enthusiast who enjoys designing, modifying, and repairing tube amplifiers. I'm also an objectivist and a long-time reader of ASR, but I've always wished there was more tube-related objectivist content on this forum. As we all know, tube amplifiers are far...

He is going to update his database using the new B&K equipment. Edit: It surprises me a little bit this thread doesn't get any traction. I thought more people would find this interesting to discuss :)

Hello all, I was about to get rid of my old Apple TV 3'rd generation, A1469 model, due to the fact that it has no HBO Max, just Prime Video and Netflix and not sure for how long, given that streaming platforms will probably get updated in few years again, while this Apple TV model is already...

S.M.S.L PO100, PO100 PRO & PO100 AK Measurements Hey folks, It is time for my very last review of the year. A very special one, as there are three products to be measured today ! S.M.S.L released earlier this year the PO100, a tiny and fairly cheap USB to S/PDIF interface. Later in 2022...

I've been obsessed with headphones measurements for years, specifically with frequency response measurements. But, I am yet to find measurements that match with what I actually hear. More specifically, none of the measurements match with what I hear when I run the SineGen. They are accurate up...

As the title says. Are there Golden Ears measurements archived somewhere, the way Tyll's Innerfidelity ones are? Golden Ears measurements were THE best, and the most accurate I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the site is long gone, and using the Wayback machine is not smooth at all, plus a lot of...

ASR reviews for DACs often capture "beyond hearing threshold'. We each are susceptible to psychoacoustics. For amps, we select from measurements, power and use features. For DACs in the 'Blue' zone of highly rated, why would we select one that has the higher cost, assuming features not...

Hi wonderful audiophile people, so nice to have such valuable info and feedback on this forum. Been researching speakers that go deep in low frequencies and found discrepancies across both tests and specs. Notably about mean on-axis levels as well as frequency response range. 1. How can a...

With Amir busy with house repairs, @Buckeye Amps and I discussed whether I might share some of my efforts to measure his Purifi amplifier as a stop gap until Amir can do so. A couple of disclaimers here as I am NOT an experienced electrical engineer and my QuantAsylum test rig is NOT as capable...
