"Better" in what sense? IME, Dirac is the more comprehensive room correction solution. You can limit the correction applied, create custom profiles, shape the response curve to suit your sonic preferences and so much more. ARC, similar to Audyssey, has limited customization, but with the...

According to the CEA-2010 data here, the SVS SB12 NSD is roughly twice as powerful as a B&W 610XP from 20-60 Hz. The XP is like a supercharged 610. The PB1000 is liking having two SB12 NSD's corner-loaded, plus you'll score deeper (usable) in-room extension around port tune. I think it's safe...

Please explain your method for properly setting up and comparing two AV receivers. The more detail, the better.

Speakers tend to sound as good as the rooms they are placed in. Two identical systems in two different rooms can sometimes sound so different that you might think they were two different systems. Ah yes, the imaginary "all amps sound the same" straw man position promulgated by the...

In an audio blind test all you can do is listen. Using only your ears. To the sound. It is literally all you *can* do. Can't ... peek. Can't expect. Can't know. Must trust the ears. In the Yamaha video we see two people changing things while ...peeking, knowing, expecting, memory, several...

Yes, "experienced" ... via "all the senses" which can include "other factors" unaccounted for in the "listening" which will be evaded and ignored, hence this recursive loop. The "I heard it, I said so" arrogance rhetoric spiced with a healthy dose of "self-immunisation" willful ignorance and...

....

Agreed.  :2thumbs: If one wants to find out how something sounds to their ears then listening to it via a controlled blind test required. If one wants to simply experience that same thing via all their senses then no test is required. IMO, there is no conflict between rational people and...

Agreed and understood. So your feelings and nuance capabilities are neutered if you can't stare at an audio component? That is actually very interesting Rudi! :)  That people experience differences is a reality. I couldn't agree with you more. All kinds of differences ... that may (or may...

Hi George, I'm not sure. My suppliers don't have a price as yet, but I should know in the next few weeks. As an estimate (and don't hold me to it  :)) around the R53990 inc mark.

J Gordon Holt. He is the father of the audiophile belief subset of believers ... of which you are a member. He rues that fact. In the words of your patriarch :

"Just listening" is a blind test. Requires one to ... trust the ears to discern sound. Often leading to embarrassing consequences for self-assessed "golden-ears". The audiophile version of "just listening" : peeking, knowing, expecting, imagining, bias overloading ... several mood swings later...

I've got 2 SVS SB12's left. First come first serve. If anyone is interested please give me a call or send me a PM.

Nuprime projects a more healthy organic sound over the Rega. Less insight and shimmer, but improved guile and harmonic sweetness. Boogie factor sounds amazing listening to West Side Story and Hair.  :dop:
