Seriously, are most of you men? Do you not feel silly as hell arguing about stereos?
If you want lame advice DON'T do this!
Have you ever seen a member ask for advice about their system and don't understand why they need to make a change? Mistakes in this hobby are generally expensive. Does a list of components tell you how they sound together as a system? No Does a picture of a room tell you how the system sounds in the room? No. Think about the dollars that have been flushed away because the problem was the room and no matter what you stick in there or how much it cost it won't git er done. A flat in room frequency response is a starting point before changing anything. So, why don't more people post measurements when asking for advice? If you want lame advice DON'T post your system in your profile. If you want good advice post your system and a pic. If you want excellent advice include your in room FR measurements (which almost all modern receivers provide or REW can do for free).

I think @jond has made the best contribution to the discussion. 🙂 @kota1 REW may be free (or a donation), but it is not easy to master if you’re not familiar with acoustic measurement taking. It’s all I can do to READ a graphical report, much less create one. I have purchased the Umike-1, downloaded the software, and managed to take a single measurement, a week went by, and now I’m starting all over again. I’ll get there, eventually. I was helped by those who responded to my ‘From Whence comes soundstage?’ and introduced me to the LEDR test. I learned I was not sitting in the proper spot in my room. If I could be comfortable straddling the arms of both my recliner and couch, my head would be in the perfect ‘sweet’ spot. |
