Popular Post Archimago Posted December 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2019 Wow. Nice work on the calibrated speaker response, Chris! I've said it before and I'll say it again - looking forward to seeing more of your sound room and the treatments you've installed in that challenging space! One beef I've had over the years with many reviewers has been the lack of transparency as to how the review rooms look like. The fact that you've been open with pictures of the room and showing things like the frequency response is great to see Chris. mitchco and The Computer Audiophile 1 1 Archimago's Musings: A "more objective" take for the Rational Audiophile.

I figure that the more information I can provide to readers, the better they can evaluate my evaluation of components. A reviewer suggesting a component has great bass, while his room is +20 dB at 100 Hz, is a disservice if he doesn’t disclose that spike in frequency. I was originally just going to publish my room response without any correction. That is until I heard what correction can do. Lastly, enabling and disabling this DSP is done with the press of a button. I’m not locked into using it if I suspect something isn’t right. Also, I give myself sanity checks frequently by A/B’ing the sound and listening to it both ways. Yup, it's nice in Roon to be able to easily select various presets. BTW, here's what my presets looks like these days: I do have a "FLAT Room Curve" if the need arises but for the most part will listen with the B&K room curve. Then there are the "Harshness Dip" variants. Regardless, IMO any of these variants would sound more controlled than without the room correction and provide a standard reference!
