Vince, I have tried your test tones and get the correct/expected results on my Yamaha RX-V800. This only proves that that specific test tone on AVIA is wrong, I hope they would do something about it. Anyway, I'm now trying to checked if my sub is in-phase with my speakers. Using again test...

Well Vince, I thought you have forgotten your promise. I have already downloaded the files and will try to burn it on CD. I will get back on this thread once I have the result on my system. Again thank you very much and God bless.

Ellen, that was very interesting. I can't belive that harp covers a very wide range of frequencies and can even surpass a bass string for lower notes. Again, thanks.

I think that Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass uses the same ranges of notes but their tonal characteristics had given them distinct assignment in the musical scale. Generally, Soprano and Alto parts were given to ladies, Soprano taking the higher notes. Tenor and Bass parts were given to men...

How about the use of equalizers to flatten room's response? I know others don't recommend this because of some drawbacks. Anyway, it was then a preference to set it in V-shape because our ears were more sensitive to 1khz. There were many times when I try to do sweep of the frequency spectrum...

Harold, thanks, now I understand what are you trying to say but actually, I haven't heard that before. Is that true only for DD, how about for DTS? Now, please consider the following setup and tell me if a low crossover (say 60hz) could still chop-off those freaquencies: SETTING...

As Harold says, there were also deflections of about 4db between channels being tested but this doesn't concern me since they also reach a common level when the circulating test tone reaches the actual channel. What really concern me is the difference of LFE level against the other channels...

Vince, nice of you to help in.

Nice experience but what and how many subwoofers are you using?

Thank you very much for all the reply.

Harold, Thank you very much for the time you've spent trying to understand my system's problem.

Thank you Harold for your quick response. Below are my current settings: 1. All speakers were set to small and my LFE/Bass Out was set only to SWFR – this means that my LFE plus the 90 Hz and below frequencies from L, C, R, LS & RS will be reproduced only by my Subwoofer. 2. LFE Level for...

We all know that the 0.1 channel of a soundtrack is a separate/discrete channel for LFE and being reproduced by our sub. The sub would reproduce only LFE if the rest of the speakers were set to Large. But if any speaker were set to small (say at the 90hz crossover), the sub will reproduce the...

I’m already used to calibrate speaker levels of my HT using the AVIA DVD with RS SPL meter. I’m just wondering that we are actually using our naked ears to perceive the sounds from our HT system. We have different sensitivity to sounds; moreover, our own two ears have different sensitivity. I...

I just want to ask also if this suggestion of yours were the ones they called Audiophile CDs or just new ordinary CDs but really good sounding? I understand that some High-End Shops were using Audiophile CDs to sample their stuffs. One shop here in our place uses the CD of Jeniffer Warnes'...

Thanks for all the suggestions, I am now surfing CDNow to sample your music.

‘Just want to ask for CD suggestions that I can use for critical listening and for showing off any HT/music system. I think it would be better if it shows great stereo channel separation. I already have some CDs/DVDs from Chesky (Sarah K. and other Selections) but the type of music did not...

I just bought a Pioneer DVD Player Model DV-533K which has a 192kHz/24-bit Audio D/A Converter for Highest Sound Performance audio feature. I am aware that this rate was being implemented on DVD-Audio on MLP. The player, which might be the same with Model DV-444, can pass the 96kHz/24bit...
