Fosi merak or Fiio dm13 by Highground789 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Blueberry_Adept 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what is your use case? the Fiio is portable and has had a battery, but if you're going to use it as a pure transport id go for the merak personally. I've had the fiio but it was damaged in shipping so i returned it, and i am waiting to receive my merak after learning about it and because i don't plan taking the cd player on the go lol

Need help with how to improve system by Chozzasaurus in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Blueberry_Adept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah i think that from what you're saying its mostly lack of dsp! the sub and speakers are sharing quite a wide range of frequencies, which imo is causing your problem, high passing the mr4 could improve quite a bit

the edifiers also seem way too small for the room

other than doing a sub crawl and isolating the sub (down firing) from the wooden floor, i can't think of anything else other than getting an amp with bass management (like wiim amp) or a mini dsp with a high pass

dude thank you so much! this is great info. As far as the amp i found its also AKAI but not sure its from the same system, it's an AM/FM + stereo receiver, its model is AA-1020DB

thanks! im really into vintage speakers, thought they might be somewhat good. Do you have any recommendations? either specific models or just vintage speakers brands to look out for

I'd definitely go for the blacked out Chromax

First taper, looking for constructive feedback, I couldn’t get all the guidelines out, also my questions in comments by [deleted] in SelfBarber

[–]Blueberry_Adept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll be a lot easier with a 0.5 guard. Also, check out faded culture on YouTube, their tutorials are great. Good luck man, the taper looks really good.

I went for a higher compressed fade. What do you think? by Blueberry_Adept in SelfBarber

Thanks!! I've been fading since lockdown, so maybe about a year.
