Experiencing La Creuset's lifetime warranty support is like going back in time to an era when corporations were happy to keep promises. Jun 16, 2024

      Stuffed a bundle of 16" deep Safe'n'Sound in front and back-left corners of my office. Inefficient use but killed a highQ 20db null@70 hz.

      It's pretty incredible how far some convolution filters generated in the House Curve iOS app + Roon can get you.

        It's not as accurate as UMIK + REW but all of the basic functionality for doing FR correction and measuring phase & group delay and generating PEQ or FIRs is in there. Their help documentation is very good as well.

      My wife decided on her own to move the couch into the perfect listening spot for my 2.0 system and I'm so giddy I'm choked-up.

        Nope. We were listening to an album yesterday and I was commenting on how the soundstage moved back about 3-4 feet and the imaging in the field was much more precise and after a long pause she said, "It sounds nice."

      FYI - Schiit Urd is not compatible with the DAC in Vanatoo T1 Encore speakers :(.

        It's plug and play in Windows but only goes up to 24/96. I had actually not known of that limitation w/ Urd until I couldn't get USB or COAX inputs to work with URD and found the qualifiers around the DACs that Urd will work with. It wasn't my primary use-case but still disappointing.

        What's wrong with 24/96? Why not just use that?

        24/96 max usually means it’s not UAC2
