    Need Advice for 2nd Hand CD Player

    Thanks Wayne and WUS. I'll pass on the manufacturer suggestions. The partner is doing lots of research to help him understand the gear he has in front of him, and to help searching all the 2nd hand outlets. I sent him this link https://vasiltech.narod.ru/CD-Player-DAC-Transport.htm to help him...

    Need Advice for 2nd Hand CD Player

    My daughter and partner are looking for a decent 2nd hand CD player to connect to their AV system for their CD collection (no SACDs). They are hoping to get something that has a good DAC and transport (low jitter and THD). And hopefully under $100us/$150au. Any ideas? Edit :- I think they...

    Testing Individual Drivers in a "9.1.4" Samsung HW-Q950T Soundbar System

    Hi Tried to test my soundbar system with REW with limited results (REW recognized 8 channels, but test tones only appeared to come from front L & R; Center; and rear L&R, and no Sub sound). Is there a downloadable program with discrete test tones that will cover all of the channels - 9.1.4...

    Using REW with a Soundbar

    OK, an Update. I've solved my connection problem. My main problem was that the normal audio driver in the laptop (Realtek Audio) does not generate/control the audio in the HDMI port. In the laptop's audio settings, I had to swap over to EP-HDMI-RX (Intel(R) Display Audio), which is a driver I...

    Using REW with a Soundbar

    You old fossil.;) Years ago I struggled with a cheap mic and an external SB sound card. I then upgraded to a calibrated Dayton EMM-6 with a small mixer for the phantom power. But I found it fiddly having to do all the calibrating and level checking each time before starting any measuring...

    Using Room Simulator

    Thanks.:T Didn't look down there. Also all screen shots in the Help text, don't show the bottom of the Speaker Controls section (exactly like you've shown).

    Using REW with a Soundbar

    Hi Wayne Wow, you bring back memories. There is a HDMI input but doesn't appear to allow a connection to my laptop (see below). I'm using ASIO4ALL in REW, if that helps. Cheers

    Using Room Simulator

    From the text I believe you can set the lower limit (-3dB) of your Mains. However I can't seem to find where to do that. Can anyone help?

    Using REW with a Soundbar

    I came from a dedicated Home Theatre complete with full room treatment, infinite baffle subs, etc. to our current home with a small media room and a Samsung HW-Q950T soundbar (which includes a small ported sub and two surround speakers). I've had a quick try at running REW through the soundbar...

    RTA graph freq resp on REW 5.20.13

    I recently did some speaker testing (for crossover design) using a UMIK-1 and the latest version of REW. SPL graphs were normal and what was expected - i.e. no anomalies. Make sure all your settings in REW are correct. Read Making Measurements in the REW help In particular, don't use the...

    Measuring my DIY Speakers for Crossover Design

    I think at one stage I researched exactly what the speed of sound would be in my situation, but ended up just adopting 344m/sec. I'm just about to offset all my t=0 locations and export to VituixCAD. Even if the t=0 offset doesn't effect the essential part of my design data, doing the offset...

    Measuring my DIY Speakers for Crossover Design

    Sorry - I just confuse myself when I over think things. Thanks again.

    Measuring my DIY Speakers for Crossover Design

    Sorry to be so naive, but are you saying that the first image does not have the correct offset, and the second image does? The notes that REW added to the original measurement (first image) states that it recognised a 2.4ms delay - and that's what's confusing me.

    Measuring my DIY Speakers for Crossover Design

    Thanks guys. Can you check my IR images below. I think I might already have the correct t=0 offset. The first image is "as measured", and the 2nd image is after I went into Control and applied "Offset t=0". I can't see any difference.
