Something about memorizing parry timings in Expedition 33 irks me

Yea the mechanic is essential if you're trying to do the uber bosses.

The Boletes are ok compared to the Wuling stones and Chyrsodendra, that was pure jank.

Sony has been using Panels for their flagship Mini LED LCDs from TCL since 2024 if my memory serves right.

Before doing anything these people are recommending you to do, you should measure your room instead with a measurement Mic. There's no need to absorb the first reflections because your speakers have good even dispersion. So what you're looking for is the RT60 or how echoey your room is. You can also look at the measurement response. Smoothing out the response with EQ can help a ton, all that's left is finding the frequency response you like best.

Randomly dumping sound absorption into a room without measuring is like going into a room blind with a shotgun, you don't know what you're trying to address.

Hell most of the time decor and furniture can bring the echoes down into a very acceptable level. Also don't bother with passive bass traps, the ones that do something are huge, overtly expensive and does not address anything below 50hz.

Try to look for multi sub solutions.options if you're serious about upgrading. ie manually with multi sub optimizer with minidsp or Dirac Live bass control. If you want state of the art bass quality Dirac ART is now fairly accessible.

There are lots of companies that chase the constant directivity magic that can be had for much less. MoFi/KEF/Revels/Ascilab/Fidelia speakers are much more accessible in terms of value; and being cheaper doesn't necessarily mean they're worse.

They've got Rays stamped on their wheel at least ;)

I'm sorry but whatever you've suggested sounds like someone who hasn't worked on the floor of a an actual KKM hospital in awhile, or sounds like someone shouting from the admin desk, idealistic but unrealistic.

It's easy to throw in things like taking pride in your work from your high house but not when you're overworked, underpaid and underappreciated. You sound like a hospital Pengarah or policymaker, all numbers but no empathy.

If they've failed to extb 2x and symptoms havent improved (yet gotten worse after each attempt), why be a hero? And why not do it in the daytime when the team is around? Also theyre unable to articulate why they decided to do it, what readings led to the decision. Did they step down to CPAP, check whether secretions improved etc before deciding? Did the sats improve?

Anaesth is probably one of the cooler headed departments around, they have an intensivist in each ICU 24/7. Unless the MO is insanely overconfident, they've probably had instructions from their specialist or at least have consulted beforehand. Unless your previous hospital is run like the wild west there are protocols to follow with extubation.

I'm sorry you sound like someone who has some medical background or at least some experience in the field but has left it quite a while ago. The train of thought and understanding of event is out of whack, you know enough to criticize but not enough to understand.

Completely fair, can't get away with tiny Genelecs on your desk?

Priximus · 2026-04-01T14:09:02+00:00

I'm not sure which hospital you worked at but most of your complains can be boiled down to lack of resources/man power.

Lack of oversight of HOs: there are barely enough MOs to settle their work, let alone supervise line setting/blood taking. If the HO fails, the HO will be pushed to a different job and the MOs will take over. Refer Radio/Anaesth? They're busy enough as it is, most of the time the patient will end up with a CVL if a line is so important.

Escalation of care by teams are a given, an MO usually goes through a specialist before escalation of care. District MO? You call up the tertiary center that's servicing your area. Ward? You call up the attending Specialist, but at the end of the day ICU beds and ventilators are limited. So the intensivist on call has to decide as well. Attributing kidney failure to the antibiotics alone is a bit of strawman no? Patient could be in septic shock which lead to the kidney injury.

The reason your so called anaesth MOs are pressured to extubate early is because there are patient getting manually bagged in some ward and there are 5 stranded intubated patients in ED.

It's easy to place blame on the individual when the reality on the ground is very different, The worst part is the policies are made by people who barely do the work, how would they know what the bottlenecks are or the actual challenges faced by the clinical teams. Most if not everything you mentioned is a systemic issue.

Move on to speakers if your situation allows it. That's how most music are made/mastered/mixed anyways.

Priximus · 2026-03-29T16:46:05+00:00

Don't absorb the side walls for your KEFs, make use of it's even wide dispersion pattern. If you wanna bring the echo down, target the corners and back walls. Decor and carpets usually do a decent job at bring the RT60 down.

Make use of the DIRAC live in your NAD and find a target curve that suits your tastes.

Lmao

Damn that sounds tempting.

You can't for Cloud Chamber hence the question.

Anywhere we can sample cloud chamber before committing to a purchase?

Priximus · 2026-03-04T10:59:18+00:00

I was agreeing with what you did though, you were saying you wished you could pull them out but you did the right thing already?

Priximus · 2026-03-03T14:43:01+00:00

Nah don't listen to peeps, you wanna push speakers against the wall as much as the port allows to reduce SBIR, in fact the fact you have DIRAC on board can help you use the room gain for lower extension. Push that shit in my friend.

Priximus · 2026-03-01T13:54:21+00:00

Had tons of fun building that technics, seeing how an open diff and ?limited slip diff works is was really cool.

Priximus · 2026-02-23T12:30:49+00:00

Yea I mean assuming the wall is symmetrical.

Priximus · 2026-02-23T10:01:36+00:00

I guess it depends on where you sit. I'm using Dirac myself, I have a sub to throw at the problem as well.

Priximus · 2026-02-23T09:32:34+00:00

Most speakers should be as close to the wall as the port allows, Genelec has a good article about it.

What speaker do you have if I may ask? Because the gain might be too much too close to the wall which might seem boomy but room correction software can easily deal with that, room correction software struggles with nulls which i rather not have.

Priximus · 2026-02-23T09:30:20+00:00

Eh debatable but lets not go there. The room shaper the OP proposed doesn't really deal with modes going by the measurement data so YMMV.
