Daverz's Living Room System | |
IP Address: 24.94.4.93 | Last Update: October 23, 2023 at 20:47:06 |
Amplifier: | Bryston 3B-SST |
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | Volume is controlled in the digital domain. |
Speakers: | Buchardt S400 (white) SVS 1000 Pro subwoofer |
Sources: | |
CD Player/DAC: | Raspberry Pi 4 connected via USB to an Motu M4 audio interface. The Motu has 4 analog outputs (either RCA or TRS). Outputs #1 & #2 are used for the subwoofer, and #3 & #4 are connected to the amp and speakers. The Pi does all the routing and crossover for the 2.1 system using CamillaDSP. |
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Who cares? |
Room Comments/Treatments: | The room is an irregularly shaped second floor living/dining room with attached kitchen, vaulted ceilings from 11-19' high, and an open loft. Some Auralex panels on the wall, a couple Echo Buster panels, 2 EchoBuster Bass Busters, and a couple wool blankets draped here and there. |
Music Preferences and Comments: | |
Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Mostly classical (orchestral and chamber music, and mostly late Classical to mid 20th Century), and some 70s/80s pop music. 60s-80s rock/pop and new wave. I like a nice tune and a good lick. Beatles or Stones man? Beatles, but even closer: the Kinks. Jazz (still exploring) |
System Goals/Comments: | Analog sources must make coherent sense of and get the most music out of often mediocre vinyl. As much of a sense of the original acoustic space must be reproduced as possible. Warm string tone, clear and articulate midrange, non-muddy bass. But the electricity of hard rock music must not be sacrificed. |
System Strengths: | Wide, deep, dimensional soundstage. Scary deep and accurate bass (and no EQ set yet!) Detail without brightness. Neutrality. |
System Weaknesses: | The Buchardt's are missing the bottom octave. Not a system weakness, but there is too much street noise leaking into the room. |
Video/HT System: None | |
TV/Projector: | Banished from the listening room. |
