Thank you for the generous comment.

And wow - I had no idea about your breeding of llamas - that's VERY interesting! The things we find out about the other inmates here!

Finally, I kind of agree with you about the importance of nostalgia in music listening, even though, as you say, "nostalgia isn't what it used to be"! ;-)

And thank you for this interesting discussion - probably more civil on your part than on mine! ;-)

Thank you for your gracious reply.
Now I have a confession to make: Only the first two sentences of my last post were true.

All the Sony stuff was a parody of the many professional musicians - performers, composers, theorists etc. - I have encountered over the past 60 years who know nothing and couldn't care less about even rudimentary audio reproduction; those who, after listening to decent audio, either don't hear the difference or consider it akin to raising llamas - something only for weirdoes.

Your response to my parody tells me that you are, at heart, very kind, and that is much appreciated. (And no, I don't raise llamas, though I am indeed a weirdo.)

My main system is in a basement room ca 24 x 12, where the speakers are about 4.5' out from the wall and I sit 15.5 feet out. After the damping and diffusion were sorted, the next greatest improvement was adding Dirac full range. Have measured the FR with Dirac on, and tweaked some bass anomalies with PEQ.

Because the 3.7i are ruthlessly revealing of whatever is on the recording, I adjust bass/treble/width etc as necessary, and sometimes just add the Quad or Harmon tilt.

Cheers!
- Wow! Nice (not to mention impressive)! I'm glad I didn't fall into your "trap"! [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 00:40:39 11/30/24 (0)
