AA for us


Is there such a place for us audiophiles: Audiophile's Anonymous? I feel that at this point that I am showing all signs of an addict and I am no longer a functioning addict, unfortunately. 

The only upside is that it is distracting me from other harmful activities such as watching the news x hours a day.

@deep_333 we don't need to put a number on it, that's when it begins to spiral - I just need X to have a nice system but then what about 1.2X... and then 1.5X?

I REALLY like that idea.

I will volunteer to provide counselling for a reasonable cash per hour 

Like the cowboy that stopped smoking by switching to dip......I have been focusing on the record collection.   I don't recommend going off trail in this manner. Do you have any idea how many variants of DSOTM are out there?

@dekay ......Do you use those 3 items in a combination? 👀😬

2nd is.....for her birthday? 🙄

Been nice being in your digital presence...5's....

Where should I send flowers, and which ones do you prefer?

There is one aspect of this that is a new experience for me. I previously had equipment that had basic tone controls and a manually adjustable graphic eq for low frequencies that gave some control over room modes with a db meter and some tweaking time.

But now with a brand new Emotiva MR1L processor with parametric eq in the mix and this so called automatic room correction I listen to the results of the auto eq and it sounds awful. I have gone back and removed all the eq and done some manual adjustments with PEQ and like the sound much better. It still needs tweaking more but there is so much range of adjustability and in such fine detail it makes making any changes unwieldy and awkward. I would prefer, I think, standard treble and bass controls with PEQ below 100 hz. Some people I think really get off on eequipment with a very high fiddle factor. Me, not so much. I want adjustments but for God's sake make them easier and more effective to use...
