Professional Calibration Question


I wanted to get your opinion on my plans for calibration. I'm using a professional installer that uses his "ears" to calibrate". My question is: Can I rely on audiophiles that have "golden" ears to calibrate? Or perhaps, am I better off with using the how-to DVD I bought, AVIA Guide to Home Theater?

While a "pro" may have a good sense of "go / no go", the results that he achieves will not be able to be duplicated by you or anyone else. As such, if you trust him enough to pay him to do this, you should record where all of the settings end up at. Should you loose power or mess with the settings by mistake, you'll at least be able to get back to where you were.

If he does do this for you and you record the settings, you can always try your calibration disc and compare the results. If you like his way better, you can go back to those settings. If you like the results using the calibration disc, use those. At least with the calibration disc handy, you have a means to check / verify your results for consistent results over a wide period of time. Sean
