Quick background. I am new to being serious home audio, to me anyway :-P I just upgraded from a 15yr old Klipsch setup (RB3s with center and surrounds) with a Denon 2800 to a Pioneer SC-91 and Monitor Audio Silver 10s w/surrounds and center (no sub for now). I would like to make my room the best...

Hi, I would like to point the attention of REW developers to this fresh AES paper published a few days ago: Synchronized Swept-Sine: Theory, Application, and Implementation The paper claims that using their own swept sine function and analysis method leads to better HHFR (Higher Harmonic...

This is a follow-up to the thread I posted a few weeks ago seeking help to primarily improve my 2-channel sound. Although I'm still thinking about a different amp, I'm pretty much done upgrading my equipment. I added the ML ESLs as well as ML C2 center, ML LX16 rears, and a second PSA V1500...

Sorry for the long post but since its my first, I felt a little more background may be in order than normal. I am wanting a doublecheck on my set-up, and maybe some recommendations on how I can improve my 2-channel music sound. I'm not necessarily looking to spend any more cash at this time...

Hello everybody Recently I tried the demo of Dirac live and got really good results. The Dirac filter didn't affect the overall sound of the speakers, but the imaging improved quite a bit. The stage was more clearly defined, and instruments better separated. So I thought I'd try and see whether...

So as my post title says in iTunes I want to improve the quality of music without messing up the playlists? Is that even possible? Meaning can I take my original CD and import it again using something better than VBR mp3 format? Will it copy over the original file? And what should I use AAC...

I'm just beginning to sink my teeth into the world of hi-fi and have a few questions regarding sub amplification. In my setup I have a basic sealed sub using a Dayton Audio SD270A-88 10" DVC sub with a Dayton SA100 100W plate amp in about a 1.5ft^3 box. Now I am trying to plan out my next...

The room is small - 11ft10 by 9ft8 at the widest point (there's a chimney breast in the middle) with a ceiling about 9ft. Room has wooden floor and the wall behind the speakers is an archway to another room covered by thick curtains. The room was really bad for echo so bit by bit I started to...

Hello HTS, It has been a while since I have been active here. But after moving from my last apartment, I have a larger room for my system. But more recently after attempting to reduce the volume of my movies at later times at night. I have been currently going from THX Cinema + Sub during...

Hi all, When i bought my projector (Panasonic PT-AE2000), i also bought a cheap 80" electric screen since i heard a lot of wrinkle/sag horror stories about manual pull down screens. The screen is convenient, but the surface of the projection screen was AWFUL. Even from 3m (10ft) away, i could...

Hi all. Nice forum here. Thanks for letting me join. I have a pair of SB-A52, which are fairly large (~4' high) speakers with 2x12" bass drivers each, as well as the mid and tweeter. and I find that the cabinets really resonate at certain frequencies, especially low bass notes. The walls of...

Hi all, I am in the process of improving both my equipment and my HT room down in my basement. I have started another thread when I describe my room and try to solve some calibration problems: http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/rew-forum/8811-calibration-rew.html But as you can see in the...

I have noted that many people have had repeated problems with convergence amp failures on CRT based RP sets. I also see people who DIY having problems completing the repair correctly. This thread is about the former. Even many techs seem to not understand what makes these circuits fail, so...

Hi, I'm testing a collaboration project: - I send some test files to some guys - they play them in their control room and send the files back to me - I analyze the files and send some tips and a calculated impulse response to be loaded in a convolution reverb for the main mixer bus and kept...

When doing an impulse response in a 11x13x8 room which has broad band absorption, a frequency dip at 286 hz appears, I also have other dips at 323,308,297,290 hertz when measuring at 5 other locations in the room. If someone gives me their email, I can send impulse response which can viewed...
