    All Pass Filters and Group Delay

    Perfect. Thank you. I have never known that was even there [nor seen it].

    All Pass Filters and Group Delay

    I did a quick search and did not find an answer. I am looking for a way to apply an all pass filter and see, in real time, the changes in group delay. Is this possible?

    Ascendo Crafted Its AIA2-10K2 IS Amplifier to Deliver Superior Home Theater Bass

    Completely opposite of my experience and that of many clients who use their products. Not that it makes any difference, but did you buy from an authorized dealer or buy used? Since you haven't noted that you were working with your dealer, I assume you bought used.

    Ascendo Crafted Its AIA2-10K2 IS Amplifier to Deliver Superior Home Theater Bass

    I have two of their Ascendo DSP4-10K2 amps [rack mount] for about 2 years. Never a hick up. My guess about this new amp pricing would be that it will be expensive, just like the ones I have [but you get what you pay for]. I, too, will be anxious to hear more about what they offer vs what I...

    How many subwoofers are you using in your main system or home theater?

    At the moment, I have the equivalent of ten 18's [actually consists of 4 18s and 1 32"]. My room is 3400cf. 1 or 2 quality subs [in a reasonable sized room] will enable one to "hear" from 20Hz north. Add more subs [room size dependent] , and one can begin to "experience" the bass , adding...

    What new feature has inspired you to change your equipment to the latest & greatest?

    I have that disc as well. And demo it quite frequently. I have no remembrance on what speakers they used. That is really a "classic" demo disc and the organ piece is still the most "you are there" moment I have ever heard. A distant second is the tractor coming up the left side of the room...

    How often do you upgrade your TV?

    Living room TV? Maybe every 5 to 8 years. But this is NOT our primary movie viewing source as we have a theater using a projector. It gets upgrades about every 2 ro 3 years. We have another TV [workout room] which has never been upgraded in the 15 years we have owned it. We no longer have a TV...

    What new feature has inspired you to change your equipment to the latest & greatest?

    10 years ago, when 3D audio was announced at the 2014 CEDIA, several of the demo spaces used a recording [done in Auro 3D] of an organ playing in a large, empty and reverberant church. THAT was the closest experience I have EVER had to "I was there". Was it as accurate as full pipe organ? Not...

    Replaced my UMIK-2 mic with an Earthworks M23R... I'm confused

    Post deleted. I posted my comments above.

    What new feature has inspired you to change your equipment to the latest & greatest?

    The last decade has offered me lots of opportunities to upgrade [and spend LOTS more $$] due to new features or technologies: Speakers: Upgraded to an all Wisdom Audio Line Source system. The sonic differences between line source vs point source, dispersion pattern, and seat to seat...

    Where were you 10 years ago?

    Thank you. The room is a great place to watch movies, listen to music [which I do so more than watch movies] - and a quiet place to pray. As for the C.S. Lewis quote, given the state of our world [and our country] as it fits into the Book of Revelation, folks should give strong consideration...

    Where were you 10 years ago?

    Answered above. Go HERE. Either will get you great image improvement, but at the moment, I find the Lumagen to be more stable while the Envy has a better UI and a few more features. Both with good customer support.

    Where were you 10 years ago?

    Lumagen vs MadVR Envy [in my case, the Extreme]: Image vs image, I see no value of one over the other [possible exception being the Envy Motion AI] Product stability: Lumagen. I continue to have these random issues with the Envy where the image just dies and the only fix is to either reboot the...

    Where were you 10 years ago?

    I think "settling point" is safer than "I'm done", so I will now adopt that as my position.
