Is DEQX a game changer?
I have just read these posts about the DEQX power supply and yes, I too had noticed the apparent 'downgrading' from the supposedly superior linear power supply in the HDP4 & HDP3 modelsIn support of Nyal, he also gave me some excellent advice ... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
That's what I did for the first year Roscoeiii until everything was just as I wanted. The rest of my gear was/is great sounding but the speakers/room used to be the spoiler. Not any more :) 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Yes I admit I am very fussy, maybe it's just the way I am. Most of my life I would buy some new gear, love the sound for a while, then start to notice some other shortcoming, upgrade, buy or adjust something else, try to convince myself it was imp... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Glad to hear you are making good progress RoscoeiiiDo you have the means to do measurements outdoors once you acquire a microphone stand? This will result in the purest initial calibration which every subsequent adjustment will be based onWorth it... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
I am bound to agree with Ptss I suppose, given my experience with DEQX. A few hours to get an initial great sounding setup is only the start, it can do so much more than thatTime put into understanding and perfecting a system in this hobby is paid... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
OK Roscoe, no problem. Playing around and tweaking with DEQX is a good way to learn 
Is DEQX a game changer?
To Al & Roscoe - when you get your DEQXs' I am happy to help with any aspect of explanation or setup if you need it... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Lewinskih01, If I remove the time alignment, imaging and soundstage collapses to a much flatter representation - something I hadn't fully appreciated until I included DEQX in the chain. Recordings which include original acoustics sound quite stunn... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Bruce, I agree with you. Time alignment and room eq can be adjusted independently - whenever I have moved the listening seat slightly, it had an impact on the timing but very little on the eq and I have hardly ever changed that. If your sub sounds... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Bifwynne: ...He didn't touch the original time alignment adjustments...Bruce: Your previous post said you moved the couch so this will have changed the relative positions of speakers/subs and therefore alignment to some degree (we are talking mill... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Very glad Larry was able to improve things Bruce. With DEQX in circuit, even slight changes in positioning or speaker angles can have an impact, especially noticeable when you re-run a room measurement, adjust time alignment and listen to musicI n... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Roscoeiii: Very curious to hear more about others' use of the analog input into the DEQX. As a vinyl guy, I worry about losing some of that analog magic....I also prefer to listen to vinyl and can confirm that DEQX has only enhanced 'that analog ... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Lewinskih01 is partially correct if Almarg is only using a pair of full range speakers. There will be no opportunity to manually adjust time alignment but DEQX will still take care of thisThe processor will automatically phase & time align wha... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Unsound - yes programmes like Dirac can achieve a similar result but require a computer to be running the system whereas DEQX is an elegant 'hi-fi, one box' solution. Because everything can be automated via widgets, it is also quite logical & ... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Hi Bruce. If you mailed me your configuration file I could have a look at how it's been set up (its a .mzd file stored in the DEQX folder on your PC/Laptop). This would allow me to see all your measurements and how Larry set it up. If the file is ...
