What's your setup/configuration look like?

[harkpabst]

Good sir, I actually saw a test where they set up mics to record sweeps from a pair of studio monitors sitting right on the desk and then again after placing them on a pair of the IsoAcoustics ISO-155 stands/mounts and the response actually shows cleaner in the upper bass and mids.

I suppose it's not an absolute controlled comparison because they didn't find a way to lower the desk so the speakers are at the same height or to raise the desk before installing the mounts so that the monitors would wind up in the exact same position (within the room/space) before and then after, so some of it might be due to different room interaction (and also reduced reflections/interaction with the desktop), but either way, they're not mere snake oil.

Well, for all we know, just lifting your speakers up on a couple of thick books that do not protrude past the front edge of the enclosures might make all the difference (definitely cut down on reflections from those mid/bass drivers off the counter top).

This is all really interesting stuff, but something totally different again, not related to a turntable picking up vibrations.

People have as much room and freedom of arranging speakers as they have. They come here to show their setup to the community. Nobody get's injured by a sub-optimal setup and this is simply not the place for technical discussion.

I don't pretend to know anything about vinyl, so I won't hassle you on that at least.

OK, then, so we shouldn't make ANY comments on the systems being shown?

I believe the problem is that the posts go on and on, derailing from the subject of the thread.

If you want to discuss speaker stands, I suggest you start a new thread in the Off Topic category.

What's the small white display?

 

[Ouim182]

iPad Mini - primarily using it for the Wiim app

Really happy of my new Amp Ultra arrived yesterday and installed in a few minutes tonight!

I think I’m going to settle with the setup for a while now .. Spent so much time / money changing setups

Impressed with the Dali’s ..

All change!

Some might remember I said my amp ultra wanted a change of scenery, and here it is.
Wiim pro (out of sight) feeds the RME dac which then goes to the March Audio power amp. From there to amp switch box (top left) to speakers.
Wiim Amp Ultra goes to amp switchbox - simple one device solution for the rest of the family, assuming I remember to switch to that amp input when I've finished!
Switchbox on right chooses what goes to March Audio amp: CD, RME or AVR (tv).

Why use the pro to feed the RME vs amp ultra via usb?
Well, as soon as I connect the usb cable between the amp ultra and RME I get a rhythmic (e.g. once a second) clicking sound from the speakers, even with the amp ultra in standby. When I turn the amp ultra on the frequency increases (roughly doubles or triples).
Maybe I'll investigate further one day, but not today.
Had the house to myself for the past couple of hours. Wonderful

I changed my whole audio setup this year:

WiiM Amp Ultra
Nubert nuBoxx-B70 floor standers
Nubert nuSub XW-900

As you can see it's a very tight fit with our furniture with both floor standers directly in the corners. But I am actually very pleased with the sound with room correction and EQ. Next week the Dayton Audio iMM-6c should arrive and we will see if there's still room for improvement.

Tight indeed. So tight I was expecting to see this on the wiim TV app

It's normal to pull floorstanders out from the back wall, but with the side walls being so close it may not matter much. YMMV

looking forward to hearing Dali Kupid. currently doing the reverse subwoofer crawl on the ceiling.
