For neophyte as me : Beware of your settings. I have wasted too much time in stupid settings. Personal device a Zoom H5 (as a guitar player and singer, I recorded a lot in the past with my GF). Preferences => input & output Select carefully the speaker you want to measure. At your...

Thanks Nopiano. You are too kind with me. I am not very patient with myself and cannot understand why I do not understand fast as I would like to. Anyway. Things are getting clear and I propose some support if anyone here is about to step into measures. One thing that is really amazing is the...

Thank you RoA for your reply. I am definitely not the brilliant guy I would have expect to be. What I learnt from this experience in addition to my hurry: - Plug the Zoom H5 and select: audio board, than phantom 48V supply from the device. - Apple: my preferences / sound : input -> H5 &...

I understand you feel driven by a mission to guide others toward your vision, but unfortunately, that’s not what this is about. My original question was simply to understand the basic principle, and of course, I’ve already carefully reviewed all the tutorials. However, I’ve expressed that I...

No need to reply if you don’t know. It’s okay. Maybe my questions are not clear. Don’t feel bound to reply

Not my approach. An ECM8000 is enough. Dealing with calibration, yes I did. I am just not happy with the settings and my questions are focused on the very first steps of the process I dont understand

Thé ECM8000 is fair enough for general measures. 22€ vs 99€ for a 10 min usage? No debate on that. Speaker positionning have been already worked. Now, I want to measure the balance in the room to assess furniture, curtains…

Hi everyone, I feel particularly silly for not understanding, but I’m exhausted from not getting it and I’m reaching my limit here. I’m diving into acoustic measurement for my room, but I’m running into some technical misunderstandings despite having the supposed relevant equipment. Here’s my...

Thanks for your reply. Really happy I can mount an AT-VM95 instead of the very bad OM-5 with no worry on VTA.

I checked the VTA and there is no possibility to adjust it. Hight is fixed on stock Debut Carbon. The previous owner swapped the awful Ortofon 2M RED by an even worse OM5. I would like to offer to my brother in law a descent cartridge such as an OM20 or an AT-VM95xx. In this case I have no...

To the question : What to understand before floorstanding speakers purchase? Now, I know : your room! Pure act of serendipity tonight. While I was disposing speakers: previous ones, Recital Audio ones and another pair of speakers (long story to tell), I was a bit charmed by the details and...

Hi everyone. Quite dynamic here. After a full week of rest (far from music, business…) and a week as a summer break things are getting better. At first I suggest anyone looking for speakers to consider this brand. Both design and philosophy are stunning. Please take a look, measures are...

Let's consider each assertion with a critical view. Everyone comes with its one. And then : so what? Our world is about to disappear. There is no real worry to have about hifi. Loudness has became the standard on many mainstream supports. Blue Note, Deutsche Grammophon and others carry on...

Hi Jim, I have considered a lot the 509's before ordering the current ones. They are 3K€ on this side of the Channel. I can understand the gap due to saler margin, distribution, R&D, logistics... I cannot reach a 3K€ par of speakers. I am very sorry to read that. After some medical analysis...

Good evening/night John, Thank you for your message and your experience. I wish you the best living condition possible with tinnitus. The best system I had the chance to listen to, are in auditoriums with a huge amount of money I cannot afford. The latest biggest emotion was a month or a...
