@KenMasters Unfortunately you are not with me on a daily basis, otherwise I would tell you that you have been eavesdropping on the example you’ve just given, that I had with my friend yesterday. You’ve just repeated my very thoughts and actions I discussed. Nothing more to say here.

@KenMasters on expectation bias : I have listened to the majority of my music I use as references, hundreds of know, and know most of them like the back of my mind. I have good muscle memory and I am a very good listener. I am not a cable agnostic and I know which cables work in my system and...

^^ All valid points and considerations. It will all be measured again. My room is 10 mtrs long and the speakers are at least 3 mtrs into the room. My listening position is about 3.5 mtrs away. I am not sitting in a null. My listening seat, my special seat, that I have for years - is lower...

According to textbook logic my room is excess of the 30 foot room, so a little less problems in that axial mode and 5 meters wide. My biggest problem is the short 2.7 mtr ceiling height, and that’s going to be tough to address. I still have a ceiling acoustic panel from my old home that I must...

^^^ @KenMasters , read the whole article, the author correctly speaks about larger rooms, but the problems he’s addressing includes the interviewee’s smaller room problems, therefore the suggestions. Whether it is for large or small rooms, is immaterial to me, as I could draw a correlation...

Here’s some science that has worked for me - my own trial & error, using my ears, then I started doing the REW measurements, now learning to interpret and use the data, correctly (this is my challenge), as there is a huge learning curve still to come terms with. It is satisfying to read/see...

Another video that explains REW setup step by step, and a little better. It includes setting up a sub too, and ends on the note that future episodes will cover DIRAC, +++, setting up the subs in other positions. If you are starting out, this is good one to watch:

A little more Raul Midon (for those who don’t know, he’s blind and he mimics wind instruments, among others really well, with his mouth):

Of the three songs of this mini concert, this is the best and one of my favourites, which I possibly have the most versions of, both superb guitarists :

I laughed a bit reading this thread, it’s a conundrum for the objectivists, and remembered watching a most recent video where there difference between how a power supply winding can affect the sound, all things being equal. Here’s that video and you have to jump to Robert Harley explaining what...

Ceiling bounce and frequencies affected, check out video from 1:00 minutes onward :

Glorious music, singers, production -picture and sound quality, par excellence, from beginning to end. Must have been a wonderful experience for those whom attended:

@KenMasters I have not and will not give up on this exercise. It’s been and is one of the most relevant things I have done and am doing, as far as my hi-fi is concerned, and I am hell bent on seeing it through. I stress once again: If I was in the position to buy a new pair of speakers, I...

Psychoacoustic setting.

…And a cautionary note (that’s the way I see it) regarding how many , types of treatment, etc, needed and how to use the information supplied in #106 above:

Useful video with good practical examples:

Love this percussive solo:

@KenMasters Looking back, in my downtime, I would like to revisit the sub route. I have a DSP based Velodyne SPL1000-R (remote) subwoofer, it has a small niggle that I will have to address if I decide to use it. Can you please confirm that this sub will not make any difference, or stated better...

Can you believe the sound of this guitar:
