    Where are the affordable competitors of trinnov

    So today I had the luxury to have a sound engineer to come at my place. We did three tests: 1. Use the trinnov software with their 3d microphone 2. Use the minidsp with their calibrated microphone 3. Listen to my system as it was. 1. I was blown with the trinnov room correction. This things has...

    Why integrated amps need matching?

    So when you are new into buying speakers you would find many guides on which integrated amps match better with that specific speaker and so on. When it comes to power amplifiers though there is no really such discussion going on. If I am not wrong into this "finding" or "belief" can you please...

    Minidsp and competitors

    Hello to the team. I was discussing this last night with some friends. Are there in the market competitors to the minidsp? So products that do the same type of processing to the signal. Somehow it feels that minidsp is the only company offering such products to the market. In other words what...

    how to add “VU” meters?

    I still recall my father's hifi system with the UV meters and I do love them. My audio system to be bought include a minidsp flex that will end in a power amplifier. I can see that most power amplifier with UV meters are way too expensive. What is a way to still add those UV meters in a...

    Teac AP-505 and power amplifiers with VU meters

    So somehow the Teac AP-505 seems to not have enough reviews. Is this a good model to start my first system with? Also any other power amplifiers with VU meters that will not break the bank? Thanks a lot

    Minidsp Flex. Who has it?

    Hi all, my first questions on minidsp flex. 1. Do I understand right that I can connect my turntable (I am about to buy one), my cd transport, my streamer (had digital out) and my radio unit (I am about to buy one) on it? So 4 sources 2. Does flex have some smart future to see where the input...

    Cheap cd transport for the winter

    Hi my cd transport has died and since I am in the process of making in the near future an "investment" in multiple components, I need something to make it in the next months. I have found that one. what I liked is that it has optical port (SPDIF) which I understand that it should go directly...

    Bass tone control... as a low pass?

    Hi all, lets assume that your sub does not go that low so it is geneating distortions at very low frequencies. If someone had a dsp could low pass it. I was wondering if by tuning down the bass in the tone control you can reduce the strain of the driver at those low frequencies. So in a way that...

    simple recordings?

    well what do i mean by that. For me that would mean 1-2 music organs, 1 singer and perhaps only 1 microphone. Something that allows you to pinpoint clearly the music sources on the stage. Any tracks that you can suggest for that?

    Do schiit stacks make sense price wise?

    So building a hifi chain for a first system to upgrade an all in one denon m41 system. The stack should include preamp, perhaps tone controls, dac and an amp. Budget 1500 euros for all components. Do schiit products make sense for their money? What are your thoughts?

    Can I be just nuts?

    So I just came back from a dealer where I have listened to some focal speakers driven with some naim amplifier. I do not think that I need to explain which where the exact speakers and amp combo. It is enough to say that the I was listening to a 5.000 euros system, in an acoustically treated...

    How do we use aptx

    Hi all, I have read that many integrated these days support aptx bluetooth. I understand that aptx is really good quality as it is lossless. Still how do you use it? I guess you need a device that has the music and is supporting aptx. Do you have a phone for example that supports it? Since I am...

    How to keep the levels of perceived volume the same?

    Hi all, one constant struggle that I have is that I need to keep changing the volume up and down of the different tracks that I play. Is there a way to somehow level automatically the volume levels to keep the perceived volumes kind of constant? This is probably especially a problem when I am...

    How to do EQ right?

    So I am very new to this. I am listening to relatively low volumes and I have tried for the first time turning in my Wiim streamer the EQ option and I picked the loudness setting. I know that this is not the "ideal" implementation as the EQ applied need to change with the volume levels buts...

    Can we really boost bass?

    So I see that many EQs try to boost bass and I wonder if this is an attempted bad fix for a speaker that does not go too low. For example the EQ loudness in my Wiim is boosting lower frequencies and boosts a bit the higher frequencies. Can those boosted lower frequencies just increase distortion...

Is it possible to put the turntable above the two devices? Depth wise the CD transport and...
