I almost forgot I have abandoned Windows Media center in favor of J River media center. JMC supports ASIO and, because it fully supports external codecs, has no problems with DRM. Here are a couple of pictures: Audio: Video:

Yes that is correct Yes It is practically limitless and I have made a few changes: I am now using Acourate to generate crossovers and driver linearization filters. I run seven convolve engines with 64 bit double precision filters. Inside Plogue Bidule: Scott

Check here for optimum settings for your TV: http://www.tweaktv.com/tweak-my-tv/ A full calibration is best but this tweak will almost always be better than factory settings. By the way my fave racing game is GT2.

As Jonfo mentioned the rear wall is an ideal place for diffusion. Diffusion is used mainly to tame flutter echo while at the same time keeping the liveliness of the space intact. After looking at your space I would say you probably have an over abundance of liveliness and absorption would be...

Sorry guys I got a little ahead of myself on the gobos. These are primarily used in studios and location recording. They could be used in the home instead of mounting but would probably never pass the WAF test. Here is a picture of what I'm going for: Just kidding...

I finally got around to building some QRD diffusors. Here are some pics. A single QRD: Four square QRDs: Four offset QRDs:

Nope. My skin has gotten pretty thick jousting on stereophile...

Forgive me if this has already been posted. I am just not interested enough in politics to read all 400+ posts. However this image caught my eye. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2008/10/14/opinion/20081014_OPCHART.html :eek:

Ok, from the brochure the sensitivity rating is 90db 1 watt/meter. So that means your meter will show 90db SPL when held 1 meter from the speaker which is driven by 1 watt. Because ML's are line source speakers the SPL db drops by 3 for every doubling of distance. 1=90,2=87,4=84. So at about 12...

If you want to take full advantage of the Sunfire you will need different cables. Here are a few of images to show the difference between biWire and biAmp. This is (direct)* biWire. In this image 2 total channels are needed, one each for left/right and BOTH outputs (current and voltage) of a...

Here are a couple of charts from The Master Handbook Of Acoustics:

They're using frames on that site so you need to dig a bit to find it. here is a direct link: http://www.clearaudio.de/deu/lw_champion2.html

Humm... Ok. It is October, I'm a do it yourself kind of guy that likes to build his own or modify others stuff... I guess that makes me Colin Clive? None taken. If you really want to get some responses try starting a thread that proclaims "My cables are better than yours", then stand back and...

Unfortunately it only creates the convolvable curve I still have to use a plug-in to convolve it via convolverVST. Jeesh if I had to say that out loud I would have just convolved my tongue. It is but hey thats what hobbies are for. Actually I can tweak it while I listen to it. All the "wiring"...
