I think this may find a niche where one doesn't currently exist, as an affordable pre-processor. The addition of dirax and 4 sub outputs, mean adding a power-amp or 2could well be a much cheaper option that what currently exists for those wanting to move to separates. Its always frustrated me...

update: factory reset on the amp solved nothing other than losing my settings. Next step is to loan an amp and see if that fixes it. Thanks

Thanks. I have already tried connecting a phono output to the subs (both of them) and I get sound. I hadnt considered a factory reset on the amp. It will mean finding my old microphone to recalibrate or running without any room correction. But thanks I will give that a go.

Hi there. I haven’t posted anything in this forum for about 7000 years but I am curious about a position I find myself in an wanted some opinions (we all have them) about the best way to proceed. My questions are around a) subwoofers not working and b) room correction software benefits...

Hello there. Its been over 2 years since my last post (I feel like Im at at an AA meeting). Ive had my home cinema system since 2009 and for the last 7 years Ive just enjoyed watching stuff (and stopped buying things I dont need, apart from blu-ray movies :-) ). So Ive lost touch a bit with...

Thanks for the replies. I accidentally posted this twice. It was user error. I wasnt normalising. Like most blokes user manuals are a last resort :type: I'm pretty much there now. Thanks again.

Good. Yes once you spend a s**t load of cash on something you tend not to be in a hurry to replace it. :) For calibration I used chap called Gordon Fraser of Convergent AV (he's based in scotland but travels all over). Really nice bloke but dont get talking to him too much or he wil have...

Ha Ha . hello mate. Hope you are well. Yes i do. I stopped playing about with it and now just use it for watching stuff. :) Only difference is I removed the harman kardon amp and cd player. The amp as it broke twice and is currently waiting repair. The cd player because I just never...

Yep.. Feel a bit daft now. But it was down to user error. Im sure buying a better turntable with a better stylus, getting a better external pre-phono amp, a better sound card and better music manipulation software will all improve the quality even more but as this is a one off exercise the...

:cheers: :cheers: Thanks very much guys for all the advice. I think the probelm thankfully lies with audacity. I did stumble acroiss the normalise feature and the recordings went much louder. But that video you kindly provided Abacus looks great and I now will have a great sunday afternoon...

Hope this is the right forum but here goes. BACKGROUND I buy CD's which I rip to flac files using dbpoweramp on my windows laptop. I then listen to them via Sonos. Either via the one plugged directly into my amp and speakers in the living room or the one in the study (converted bedroom)...
