@isellgoodgear Interesting that you bring up this point as I used to remaster every recording in real-time during playback. So I was able to master the source material to my liking and replay it back. Every time you modify the source you reset what it actually sounds like; therefore I do know what the source material is supposed to sound like. Go back to the drawing board and try again.
How competitive are you with your system?
Do you try to rank your system with others’?
Or are you content with enjoying your rig for what it is?

@isellgoodgear Did I mentioned that I conceptualized, developed, designed, and implement a system to adjust the sound reproduction system’s transfer-function in real-time? Through the use of dynamic filtering in convolution decomposition I’m able to alter the sound signature of any system to match the owner’s sound quality attributes preferences. How do like them apples? Ever even thought of a concept like that? Check out the system remastering real-time transfer function adjustment system that I developed for and implemented on my Wisdom Audio Adrenaline Rush (WAAR) based system. Google “There is a smarter way” and “WAAR System”. |
@mihorn @carlos269 I decided that in fact the upper midrange was a bit brash. Rather than being in the upper end of the 10", it was in my tuning of the Heil. I have developed a method of tuning the Heil AMT quite unlike any other yielding a totally different response. I use a "reflector" behind the diaphragm that sends the rear wave forward meeting the front wave. The result is that, using mechanical means, I can produce a fairly flat response from ~3,500 up past audibility. The response drops like a rock below this, even if there were no crossover. This is why the system sounds so detailed and open. The distance of the reflector from the diaphragm controls how much signal is added from ~3,500Hz - >6KHz where the Heil would normally still be "coming in". As the reflector is moved closer, you pick up more in this area, the slope below to the woofer is increased, and the peak in the 10KHz area is reduced. We are talking on the order of >3 dB and the differences are easily notable. Anyway, is was simply a matter of moving the reflectors back a fraction of an inch to tame the upper midrange where it meets the woofer (~1.4 dB reduction) and consequently add a bit more in the 10kHz area. (Every compromise has a tradeoff.) Competition always brings out the best, even if its with oneself based on forum comments. Wanna see what I'm talking about??? https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/im-fixing-a-hole-heil.1025205/ |
That’s easy. It’s either one or both of the following: 1. Divine intervention, or 2. You captured the sound of your system with quality recording equipment then you DSP’d the crap out of it. If I cared to guess, I’d say the latter. I’m not a clairvoyant, I just read your words:
That’s the way I would explain the exceptional, great and outstanding sound quality of the audio recordings of your systems and those of others. See Occam’s razor. I kinda have to say I’m not a fan of the aggro approach. Happy Listening! |
@toddalin This is a perfect example of how to use the audio recordings as a tool for making adjustments to improve the sound of one’s system. This is exactly how I use the audio recordings. Well done. |
