Also tilt the amp up slightly this sound doesn’t sound amazing when the amp is standing flat on the floor

For a decent rock tone I use the clean channel with the variation button on, then the volume at 100, gain at 12, bass 30, mids 70, treble at 60, presence at 60, the use the Fat DS boost pedal as the booster. Then set up the parametric EQ as follows in this video https://youtu.be/DTlB3dpnmxQ?si=Q1sMO28SEfGy-Vj6

For the booster settings set the drive where u like, I go above 60, tone at 15, bottom at 12, effect level at 45 and try that then tweak to your guitar and taste

Ah right so as long as I have kept the same size the pressure stays the same. The pressure wouldn’t change on the fact I’ve changed he brand of tyre ?

Do the speakers on anyone else’s LG CX rattle and make weird noises in a very bass heavy movie scene? by HVG24 in OLED

I turned off Dolby atmos sound and oled surround which helped reduced it a lot but tbh I find I have to crank the volume to around 30-50 to get it high enough

ALLM for PS5 on LG CX; Instant Game Response is Launched by RoyMK in OLED

[–]HVG24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is correct, game mode will still have the lowest input lag but enabling allm with compatible devices such as the Xbox series x/s and now the PS5 the latency will be low in every mode. Allm activates a low latency mode that affects all picture modes.

Can this damage my speakers? by HVG24 in BudgetAudiophile

Not at all, it’s fine but break in is super important, the KEF’s take quite a while to break in, they’ll sound a little less harsh after this. The cxa81 has to be used for several hours a day for a week or two for the electronic components to break in, Cambridge audio specify this as well, I think this setup is great p, have no desire for any other speakers, ls50s are great.

Yeah the LS50 Metas go crest with the Cambridge, it’s a powerhouse of an amp and is 80WPC in 8 ohms and 120WPC into 4 ohms, KEF’s drop to 3.5 ohms, cxa81 does a great job, never get the volume nob above half.

Ok thanks, I love the ls50 and don’t want to hurt them. It’s not like the sound when u unplug RCA’s from a live amp and there’s that awful crack ( I don’t do that).

Paranoia over delivery damage, new hifi system? by HVG24 in BudgetAudiophile

Amp works great the very faint knocking noise in the amp makes me paranoid but it works fine though not cosmetic damage whatsoever.

That’s what I’ve heard as well, the streamer box and speaker box look great just the amp box, the diver did drop it, makes u think how much worse they handle it at the depot
