    Digital correction: Why is there resistance?

    Update: A friend of mine asked me to buy the same microphone. But I can see that Dirac.se website no longer sells these mics for 75 euro with free worldwide delivery. They changed the price to 75 dollars and redirect buyers to MiniDSP.com website where the delivery is $40. NOTE to Admin: I...

    Digital correction: Why is there resistance?

    I bought the Dirac version and recently got it. It was recognized by the REW software, I also downloaded and use the calibration file. Everything is alright!

    Digital correction: Why is there resistance?

    The website says the following: Calibrated UMM-6 microphones are no longer available to non-US customers. If you order a microphone using a foreign shipping address, your order will be canceled and your payment refunded. Firstly, If I order this Dirac version, it's cheaper for me (75 euro...

    Digital correction: Why is there resistance?

    Can someone please recommend me a good and not very expensive USB microphone suitable for making room measurements? I am going to correct only the bass region up to 250 Hz. Is this microphone ok? Special version of miniDSP's UMIK-1...

    Digital correction: Why is there resistance?

    I would like to add that currently I face the same kind of opposition when I tell my audiophile friends that I apply Isone or Redline HRTF algorithms (as VST plugins) to the sound which I listed to in headphones. http://www.toneboosters.com/tb-isone/ http://www.112db.com/redline/monitor/ And I...

    Digital correction: Why is there resistance?

    I started using REW about many years ago and nobody could even understand what I was doing. As soon as my friends heard that I was "messing" with the original signal, their interest dropped. Unfortunately, being an audiophile is not synonymous to being smart or being free from faith-based...

    Isone Pro, Redline Monitor, etc.

    Does anybody here use such VST plugins as Isone Pro, Redline Monitor: I enjoy listening through headphones with these plugins immensely! To the point that I cannot listen anymore to raw unprocessed sound, it's just too hard and painful. Even when I listen to my portable iRiver FLAC-player...

    How important is the room?

    YES! YES! YES! :D It's such a pity that so many people in audiophilia do not understand the importance of a room. I had the same experience as you. I went to a friend who has a room 2-3 times larger than mine (he lives in a two-family detached house, while I live in a typical apartmetn in the...

    How much does an amp contribute to 3D imaging?

    Refining the quality of the sound at the speakers is more effective for making sure that the sound is disturbed as little as possible by room influences??!!... Wow...

    Beresford Media & Electronics

    This guy was, several years ago, banished from head-fi.org forums and boycotted for his nasty behaviour there and sneaky advertising ways. I think there's something wrong with his head :) Beresford brand is a joke :) PS: Does he know that Foobar, Exact Audio Copy, etc. have the feature called...

    How much does an amp contribute to 3D imaging?

    Unfortunately, this thing (room treatment), which you are scared of, is your ticket to good imaging and staging. In my opinion, room treatment is what separates true audiophiles from audiophile wannabes. 2 years ago, I upgraded from NAD CD-player ($300), NAD integrated amp ($400) to April...

    Safe and Effective Use of Vitamins, Minerals, and Dietary Supplements

    I've been eating 2 RDA per day, every day, since I became interested in recreational weight-lifting (circa 1993). I am now 36 and I look much younger. People are really surprised when I tell to them my age. If vitamins were harmful, I would have experienced by now some health problems.
