Hello, I just watched the Australian Region 4 PAL version . . . Picture Quality was great, absolutely no complaints there :) Naturally sharp, clear images, with great colour and great detail! However. . . Sound Quality (SQ) . . . The actual SQ was good (though some of the dialog might...
Having the same settings in SpecLab may help a bit. But it will not create consistency in chart output for everyone. If you read a few page back there was a fairly large discussion on why this is so. (especially posts from Ilkka R) Everyone presumably has different sound cards, different...
I have a 3910 and I am very happy with it :) i am having a few issues with the iLink (hopefully soon to be fixed with firmware) but otherwise the player is great. Great Video, great sound. Bob U, the 3910 has very good Bass Managment. You can set different crossovers, boost the LFE by...
You could have just said it was a conversation you had with *someone* (unknown) at a previous time; :) That way you don't have to show my earlier ignorance of what i used to think i understood :) nah, its good :D Cheers KJ
I copy the screenshots into another program, (InDesign) and then do all my text and arrows and other pics in there, and then save the document as a jpeg or whatever. You can't actually create the arrows in SpecLab, it is an external addition. And with the comparison of a DD and a DTS track...
Whew . . . this was a long one :) Ok, here is The Lord Of the Rings: The Return of the King Extended Edition, DTS:ES Again, to make clear, this is only the Dedicated LFE/Sub channel info that theoredically is not being amplified in any way, it is the signal as the amp would/should get it...
BillyHC, Sorry, i should have made that clearer. Yes, i was speaking more along the lines of infrasonics, the deep stuff, 25Hz and down and the acutaly amount of LFE. There is of course, and i agree that there is good LFE in The Day After Tommorow for everyone, and that it is mixed very...
Hello all again, Here is The Day After Tomorrow. I did this at the many requests of others. :) I personally didn't think the movie was all that good, but it was ok i suppose. The LFE on the other hand, was below average, especially after what we have been seening in other movies. There...
yeah, i should have mentioned that :) Use the charts as a guide-line only. There are MANY factors which would change the volume levels and frequency respones to each different person, and how they actually play it back in there system. So don't be taking or comparing any of these charts as...
And for those of you who would like a quick preview of what is to come, here is the requested helicopter freezing scene. NICE!!! . . . :D you gotta love the bass present here, even though it is short. anway . . . LOTR Return of the King and The Day After Tomorrow hopefully both coming...
well, funny how things work out :) I just went out for a bit, and saw The Day After Tomorrow on special, so i thought, why not, and got it. I'll have the charts up within the next few days hopefully :) SO PLEASE, if you can, let me know how you want the charts displayed, so far i...
Hello again, Ok, here are three other colour schemes that may be used. (plus the above, previously posted, ones) (BillyHC, I think the second one I made is what you had in mind???? I hope) I am here to post the charts, so you tell me how you like them . . . you guys probably know more...
how does this suit your fancy: :) I used Toy Story 2, the opening part, as it is quick, easy and familiar. I can have whatever colour you would like. If you don't like the Green, i can use shades of Blue instead, though i thought the green added a better contrast. Let me know what you...
hi, I'll see what i can do with my next set of charts :D i'll play around with my colour settings and chart speed. Though i might add, honestly, if you can't really tell any 'Pink' parts, then there aren't really any. Because believe me, if there is a part that is that loud and of...
Hello again, Here is Riddick. This is was a suprisingly good movie, i quite enjoyed it.:) There is a fair amount of LFE in here with a few nice parts, mainly the planet takeover. most of the deep stuff hits 15Hz, with a few parts hitting 10Hz. I forgot to add the colour scale/key to...
Hi all again, I just finished the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. (Region 4, PAL version) And here it is. Again note, this is only the dedicated LFE channel. There is a lot of deep info ALSO contained in the fronts and centre channel, so make sure you have you speakers setup...
Thanks for the comments :) As i said, let me know if there is anything else you would like to see with these charts. I plan to do LOTR Two Towers today, I'll see how i go :) Also, it was asked if anybody was going to do Flight of the Pheonix, and just so your hope aren't up, i do not have...
Last chart for today :) Titan A.E. (PAL, region 4 version) This was a pleasantly, surprisingly, good movie. My younger brother borrowed it from the video store just for a new cartoon to watch. When he had finished, he came down and said to me that it had some good sound effect. Anyway...
Dr. Chesky's Magnificent, Fabulous, Absurd & Insane Musical 5.1 Surround Show. This is I DVD-A I came across on a shelf one day, I nearly didn't buy it. But after I saw the warning they have on the back of the DVD case : "WARNING! This disc contains extremely low and powerful bass levels...
Hi, I’m going to try doing a few waterfall charts over the next week or two. My first on here will be: Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring EE. I plan on doing the other two LOTR EE's and also I have started on: Star Wars Ep. 1 Titan A.E Chronicles of Riddick Chesky's...
I just got a new velodyne DD-18 sub :D and i was wondering, what scene can i use, from any movie, to test that i am getting some nice 'below' 20Hz room shaking audio? As i'm sure you well know, the DD series has it's in-built EQ. If i bypass the EQ, i seem to get real 'gut kicking' bass (along...
Hi, I have a Z9, so I realise that things may be a bit different, however the principal should be the same . . . I had a similar experience with the recent Episode IV V VI Star Wars DVD release. Movies that I was expecting to be decoded in EX , however the Z9 automatically decoded in...
Hi, thanks for the replies :) First to answer the question why i unhooked the A11 which also has a perfectly good iLink port, and as to why i had it hooked up in analog is . . . The A11 we got was an old/early model, it was, i think, floor stock, you could tell it was very heavily used...
Hi, I've been reading around about the iLink, firewire, IEEE 1394, what ever you want to call it But I have not come across anything where the actual 'qualities', 'drawbacks' have been discussed. I've got a Z9, and just received a Denon 3910 (also have an A11/5900, but haven't really...
just did a bit more playing around; This only happens on Disc's 3 and 4, episode V and VI. It does not happen with the first one, episode IV, A New Hope! Strange . . . one is different. On that one, IV, it does as i thought it may, the Z9 only picks up a normal DD siganl. I have to 'force'...
I just got the newly released Star Wars DVD’s. So I eagerly put one into the DVD player and started watching, to see if it sounds, and looks as good as everyone says it does. It does, sound and picture is amazing, for such an old movie But what I wanted to ask was concerning the way...
Hi, Right, i've decided i am going to upgrade the center as well, or at least get some prices. So i need a bit of help, There is nowhere close or that i know of, where i can listen to Linn speakers, or at least the Ekwal and Trikan next to each other, so i'll have to use a bit of your...
