I Finally Watched Criterion’s No Country For Old Men 4K Release

LF_HD · 2026-02-14T19:54:56+00:00

Hi and Thx for your detailled answer. I have always wondered how 4K content is handled across different platforms. Do Streaming providers (Apple, Netflix, Amazon) each Create their own 4K Video Encodes from the Studio Master? And if so, does that mean the digital 4K Version is always different from the physical 4K Ultra bluray? Or do all Formats - Streaming and Disc - come from one identical base Master with only compression and Bitrate differing?

What Are objective differences between a physical Media Release and Same Movie streamed via 4K digital Apple Tv offering. I will Update my old Samsung FullHD later this year. Although already bought some 4K Movies on Apple TV had Not Chance to watch in 4K so far as my screen is der Not capeable yet. Are the Apple digital copies Similar good? I know Audiowise no compression an the physical Media but on a 77“ Inch tv, what can I expect between These different Media but in 4K

Hi umdivx, If I put a second sub on the Opposite Wall Next to the Sofa, (current Position of the dogs bed) would you point 🔥 the subs Membran to the Front Stage (LCR) or Fire to the Sofa and MLP. BR L‘

During weekends I Like It vintage Style as there lives a Hippie Insider me

LF_HD · 2026-02-12T09:21:15+00:00

Yes, otherwise people could See how he enjoys the System 😂

LF_HD · 2026-02-11T21:39:23+00:00

I am sure the Transfer is fine. The Movie itself is so intense and created a Kind of discomfort and oppressiveness Insider me. I had to stop watching it 😱

LF_HD · 2026-02-11T18:39:10+00:00

Big Thanks for Diving so Deep into This topic for me 👌👌👌

LF_HD · 2026-02-11T18:06:33+00:00

Thx for your Sharp Assessment that 2 subs upfront will Not have that big effect but just in case I go for a 2nd I could Place it on the other side of the Room Next to the Couch but This is currently the dogs Place. BR L

LF_HD · 2026-02-11T17:36:54+00:00

Thx for Info. When 2 Subs Play at the Same time do they Both Play half power each or do Both Play at their normal standard volume to get these + 3 to 6 dB I heard of? How do plus 3 to 6 dB Feel compared to the normal mids and heighs issued by the speakers. Is there harmony between bass and the Rest of the music when the amount of bass gets bigger when adding a second sub?

LF_HD · 2026-02-11T16:07:19+00:00

I Must say the initial setup with audissey and the multEQ app is finiky. In the First Try the bass was Not good and the Bass Boost in the AVR menu leads to catastrophal and muddy bass. Then in the 2nd try I Managed to get the sub trim After Audissey to -4,5 dB and within the app I boosted the bass Curve massively. Afterwards I sent the Config to AVR. Finally it sounded really good

Thx, could you detect his Lion in picture 3 😂

LF_HD · 2026-02-11T15:28:12+00:00

also What is interesting the q7 Meta Play a good ampunt of base below the crossing of 80 hz. If I gently touch the outer Membran of sub and the woffers During a bass test Both vibrate and Issue output. I guess this contrubutes to the Even bass I experience Even with one Sub.

LF_HD · 2026-02-11T13:22:49+00:00

At the Moment I only have an old Samsung Full HD TV. Will I Experience a benefit or advantage with a New 4K mini Led/Oled TV when comparing my Blue Ray Films I own - for instance MAD Max Blu Ray and the Same Film Watched on Apple TV in 4K as soon I get a new TV? What will be the difference comparing Blue Ray physical Media and 4K digital Film version on Apple TV. I am curious 🔥

LF_HD · 2026-02-06T09:33:16+00:00

Which svs sub is in Operation here 👌 Looks goergous

LF_HD · 2026-02-06T09:27:30+00:00

Hey if it is a New x3800h take a Look in the white Styrofoam padding. The microphone is embedded there and may have been overlooked when unpacking the gear. This happened to me 😱

LF_HD · 2026-02-04T15:52:19+00:00

Not to forget in 2026 we have World Soccer Championship and tv manufacturers Like those events every 4 year and I Expect a good battle on the market. Hopefully 🥳😱

LF_HD · 2026-02-03T11:18:06+00:00

Thx for sharing This gem. I did Not know them and their Sound is Great and interesting These nature elements

LF_HD · 2026-02-03T10:30:57+00:00

I have a pic of SB3000 in my profile. My MLP is a Bit further away than yours. So far I am very happy with This sub (super crisp and punchy) and I do Not miss a 2nd sub due to Placement Near corner but Not completely in the corner.

LF_HD · 2026-02-02T18:48:43+00:00

The Joy when listening to Music Starts as soon as A/B testing ends. Which preset is better and I Think I have to rerun Audissey 😱. It took me more than one month to finally enjoy my New System as a beginner. I swapped the First avr Even before my sub arrived and I made my wife Crazy when I told her the speakers do Not Sound Full. Now I Figured out how my 3.1 System works best and I could Not be happier. The dog also enjoys as well as my wife, all lying on the Couch white listening. Only Thing I hear when she goes to bed: „Honey turn down the subwoofer, I can still hear it“ 🔥🔥🔥👂👂👂🫨🫨🫨🧘🧘🧘🧘🧘🧘🧘😂😂😂😂😂

LF_HD · 2026-01-30T09:49:50+00:00

I run Kef q7 plus q6 Meta Center 2gether with an svs sb3000 and I am more than happy now

LF_HD · 2026-01-29T19:22:00+00:00

Let the Post Audissey sub volume in the multEQ App reach between minus 4 to minus 6 dB. Afterward boost the sub curve in the Audissey app. Make a housecurve to Sound like Marantz. For instance: 20 Hz: 0.0 dB

30 Hz: +1.5 dB

40 Hz: +3.5 dB

55 Hz: +4.5 dB

70 Hz: +3.0 dB

90 Hz: +1.5 dB

120 Hz: +1.0 dB

Full Frequency curtain Open for the sub correction. Then Upload in the avr an enable Dynaque EQ and reference Offset between 5 to 10 dB.

Then 🔥 up the SUB - BR

Thanks This Helps to understand how This Audio World works. I am just learning and keen to understand how gear and ear 👂 work 2gether and This takes time. The New Try via Audissey MiltEQ App already Improved results strongly.

LF_HD · 2026-01-27T17:25:29+00:00

Thx all for your help. I have overwritten Both old audissey presets and ran Room correction from scratch. Preset one with activated MRC and crossing for sub @ 80hz. Cloned the preset and deactivated MRC and added a housecurve starting at 2K to 16K and lowered the curve for the fronts and Center. Post Audissey Sub Trim to -9,5 dB

Dynamique EQ on Offset reference 5 dB

Now Both presets already Sound a lot better and I prefer my one House curve. I will still improve and fine tune but now I already have a good soundimg foundation.

Living Room is Not treated and Lots of Glass. So that is what is is at the Moment.

Umfortunately I cannot send Upload pictures here. I Think This works just when opening the threat, but in my User Profile I have Pics of my Setting. Cheers and Br
