    Finding test tones / sine waves

    Thought you could have a laugh at my expense .... I was trying to listen to 80 Hz tones and I couldn't hear them and I'm thinking .... I know my hearing's not great but surely I should easily be able to hear those so went up to 100 Hz, then110 Hz .... thought I'll go a lot higher and tried 250...

    Tidal

    I'm about to move away from Tidal, I really like the App on a PC but they have a major issue with it seeing devices especially Bluesound, which in essence means you want to play music and you can't. I've raised support tickets that are replied to by AI and don't cover the issue you've raised at...

    Finding test tones / sine waves

    Thank you to both of you, much appreciated and funnily enough I'm thinking of moving to Qobuz as fed up with Tidal connect not seeing devices at all or constantly disconnecting when using the Windows App

    Finding test tones / sine waves

    Where does everybody find their test tones for level matching and testing bass etc. was looking up how to test a subs phase and it seems one of the best ways is to find test tones at your crossover frequency and use a SPL App and see which one is louder. I used to have some when I used Amazon...

    Compact bedroom CD system ?

    Not sure why you don't like streaming, I was against it for many years as I abhor subscription services (my phone as still a non expiring pay as you go), someone asked me a couple of years ago, when I was younger, did I buy 1 CD or more a month and the answer was yes. They mentioned a...

    Appreciating your system

    Tempted to have left it to make you squirm :ROFLMAO: ... Must admit, I'm normally "hot" on spelling / grammar, surprised I hadn't noticed it before. Bought a 2nd x ZA3 a week or so ago to go with the one you sold me set as mono blocks, the room has some placement issues due to speakers being...

    Appreciating your system

    I'm 100% in the music 1st .... but as s musician since a very young age, that includes enjoying hearing every bit of detail of every instrument without it having a harsh edge to it. I've always had a semi decent surround sound receiver which I used for stereo as well and a "reasonable" set of...

    Appreciating your system

    When you listen to your main system regularly, it's very easy to take if for granted and pick holes in what are probably bad recordings and blame the setup. I've had a day today of trying to decide whether to upgrade an amp in a secondary listening area, using an amp switch going back and...

    Best Bang for Lowest Spend

    A big thank you to everybody for their input, as much as anything it made ME think about it differently, he's not an audiophile so just wants something "good" that will do the job and is probably more "lifestyle" driven as opposed to seeking the absolute best possible sound but wants something...

    Best Bang for Lowest Spend

    I've just been looking at amp upgrades for myself as well and was considering the Vibelink or WiiM Amp Ultra but research tended to say they erred towards lean and lacking dynamics. Not sure is that's across the range or just to 2 I was looking at although I've not actually heard one myself.

    Excellent sound quality in a system is enough for most people with neighbours

    They did some brilliant and renowned car stereos, I still have an 18 year old TV of theirs and nothing came close at the time.

    Best Bang for Lowest Spend

    Funny thing is, he's reasonably well off but he doesn't see HiFi as high on his list or spends hence why he's used the Echo up until now but generally, he buys quality goods so I'd say there's no set budget .... but he's not looking for a Rolls Royce just something "reasonable". If he was going...
