Good, sensible article, covers the main points well. Some of the comments are hilarious.  :giggle:

Hi everyone, Is there anyone out there that's able to calibrate a cheapie Behringer ECM8000 microphone and create a calibration file for it? I don't really want to fork out R3k plus for a microphone that comes with a calibration file as it will be used very seldomly. I'm keen to learn how to do...

:thumbs: looking forward to this build.

The dishwasher is the absolute bomb when it comes to cleaning PCBs. I've washed many a PC motherboard in the dishwasher that was caked in grime. It comes out brand spanking new. Just remove any onboard batteries and any sticker labels that might be needed before washing it. As chrisc has...

JoziNic and Yossarian have pretty much covered all the bases. As Yossarian has said, do your utmost to get an AVR with pre-outs, unfortunately it's usually the more expensive models that have pre-outs, most entry level AVRs don't. The two biggest and noticable upgrades I made to my HT was...

Excellent work Shiffty!  :thumbs: Get some Plascon Woodcare Sanding Sealer. This stuff is magic, it was recommended to me by one of the forum members a while ago (sorry, I can't remember who it was) and have never looked back. It has a very low viscosity, just a bit thicker than water, so it...

Adding a second sub to my HT system. Evened out the room modes and the extra 3dB made a huge difference.

Whilst not as important as having your left, centre right timbre matched, I'd still use the same brand of speakers for the surrounds as your LCR. What speakers do you have for your LCR?

Hmm, I'm not sure if a standard spray can can spray a fine enough mist for the brushed metal look. Colour matching will also be near impossible with a spray can. You'll need to respray the entire amp in order to get an even colour and finish unless there is someone in a car body shop that can...

Yup! Absolutely! And just imagine how bad it would sound if driven by a class D amp and SMPS.

I know this is cheating, but went to see Dune last night at the cinema. Was really excited as it was directed by Dennis Villeneuve who also directed Bladerunner 2049 and we know that had a spectacular soundtrack. Dune was a sonic assault! Masses of LFE and effects. The score wasn't as good as...

Ah, pity! As that is a decent router. One other thing you can check is the MTU setting on your router, the better routers can set this automatically. If it's too high, it'll fragment the packets and waste a lot of your available bandwidth. If your fibre account is a PPPoE account (you need to...

Unfortunately a lot of the entry level routers don't have a very powerful cpu in them so they can't keep up with 100Mbps when applying all the firewall rules, routing tables etc to the traffic. Definitely worthwhile getting a decent gigabit router if you're going to be doing 4k streaming and if...

:2thumbs: Looks spectacular, well done!! Just needs a popcorn machine now.  ;D

Mine's not quite as impressive as Timba's ML, but absolutely love my HK Citation 7.1 4 channel, 150W RMS into 8 ohms, bridgeable to 450W RMS. https://www.audio-high-store.com/harman-kardon-citation-7-1/

:thumbs: Pretty much an endgame amp for most people.

Your sub and mains may be out of phase with each other. Click the phase switch at the back of your sub to the other setting and see if it makes a difference.
