Hi I have a serious question. Why music on tiktok sound better? I know it is louder than streaming apps, but it is not just louder it just sound better too, I tested it with my speakers and headphones. If anybody have information about how tiktok stream its music? I mean do they get the music...

Greetings users! I would like to choose a dongle DAC to use for movies and music on desktop, and use it portably to get into iems which I've already chosen, I'll take the Crinacle zero 2 7hz and if I don't like them I'll upgrade to Kefine Quatio. Sidenote regarding my sound preference, right now...

Hello everyone! Although I’ve been lurking around this forum for years, this is my first post here. I'm really sad that this has to be my first thread, but I need some help in case anyone knows. I have a Neumann system consisting of a pair of KH120 and a KH750 subwoofer. The connection between...

Hey folks, apologies if this is the wrong subforum, I'll be happy to delete or relocate. I inherited a pair of original Magnepan MG-II speakers, but in the rushed process of moving, foolishly disconnected them without taking photos of their wiring arrangement. Magnepan themselves were unable to...

Since my trusted LSR305 have been sitting in the closet for 5 years, I decided to have fun. The LSR305 and LSR308 share the same PCB and are using a DSP for the per-driver EQs. Sure enough, there are strap resistors that tell the control MCU which speaker it is driving. So, I switched the LSR305...

Hello everyone! I followed the site for quite some time but I am very new to actually trying to understand the "details" of speaker measurements. I just watched amir's video yesterday read a few things and wanted to test my new knowledge with some slightly different looking graphs. I tried to...

I've tried to do a simple experiment with my phone. there's an app called Decibel X on google Playstore. It works like a Decibel meter. I've watched a video on youtube and it seems kinda accurate or at least close to accurate. I tried to play music with my headphones and the music averaged at 75...

Since I joined ASR I keep wondering about this question. Sure, a well measuring speaker is a prerequisite to having a good sound, that can be equalised. However, ime, a fantastic in room response can be achieved with an avr costing about 1000, some bookshelve speakers costing about half of that...

Surround Sound Speaker Level Test Sources Hi! I own an admittedly older JVC surround Pro Logic receiver that has its own speaker level test tones built-in. Basically it plays what sounds like Pink or White noise into each speaker, for 1 second at a time. I would use a SPL meter, to adjust...

Hey all, I want to preface this by saying, I have no clue what I am doing, and this has all been fueled by about a week of Adderall fueled research. I am not trying for the absolute best quality, but more to learn. I got a set of 4 AVS-200, and one AVS-100 center for $15, but 2 of the 200s had...

I need help chosing new speakers, the budget is $1000, they can be active or passive with a dac/amp. They are mainly for movie and video games speakers with good soundstage are preferred. I've seen on videos that for a 1k budget, powered speakers are the best option, but i dont know if thats...

Hi everyone, some of you might have seen my replies in the Fidelia DIY kit thread about a new 3-way product Cadentia 3. I reckon it would be better to move the topic over here, put in a post specifically about it. Here is the very first prototype that went up to my Klippel NFS for the...

Hey everyone, I’ve been seeing that while most people go with active subs these days, there are still quite a few who stick with passive subwoofers. I’m really curious to learn from those of you who use them. A few things I’d love to hear about: Why passive? What made you choose a passive sub...

Hey there, audio people. I've been using a pair of Kali LP-6 for 5 years or so and I'm looking to make a roadmap of little things that I can do to improve their sound in my room. Forgive me since I'm not an expert on room correction. The challenge is that I'm working with limited space inside...

Hi, I was looking to buy a my first 2.1 system (+Wiim for EQ) but after researching for weeks, does it even make sense to buy speakers if you want a flat frequency response? Ignoring the question of what is a flat target curve, is it even possible to hit any curve below 500hz with the way room...

Some time ago I got a couple of these babies for free: The model is from the 90s, Technics SB-CH700, made in Spain of all places. They weren't expensive, even back in the day. I'm a bit concerned because of the "Act Bi-Bass Digital Response" label, since I've read that some Technics speakers...

Hey audio peeps. I'm in need of some education since I can't make sense of what's happening in my setup. I'm using a couple of DACs at the moment which are an SMSL DS100 and a UA Volt 2 interface, both USB powered, both connected to a pair of Kali LP6. I was trying to use the DS100 as my...

I recently took delivery of a new Bluetooth speaker, the Tribit Stormbox 2. The unique combination of small size, dual opposed fullrange drivers, and 9-band GEQ made it a perfect proposition for my use case: providing background music while playing beach volleyball. Here, the speaker could be...

Could someone help me in identifying the following unit with the label AN/E Alnico? Picture is attached. 1. The model - is this the LX unit? as it’s not labelled as SPx. 2. Is this a current model or when was its last production? 3. What probably is the unit worth if in pristine condition?
