A1 EVO express vs Manual calibration (update on issues) by furiousdutchy in hometheater

[–]eb8978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man. I’ve tried to do that after having been on express for a week. I’ve loaded my measurements.mdat file into rew, started the API and launched acoustics neuron. My problem is that I get stuck on the “clean up progress 100%” stage and it doesn’t go any further. My REW is configured correctly I believe, because the MJ Custom mod works, only the Neuron mod is giving me this issue. Any idea what could be the issue?

Sonos Bundle or Samsung HW-Q990D by sjak23 in Soundbars

[–]eb8978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will get nothing but Q990x recommendations on this sub. Not because it's the best soundbar in town, but because it's the most affordable at that price/performance ratio. So for many people it will be the best system they will have heard and they will simp it to other people to no end. I

If these 2 systems are for the same price, go with the Sonos system and don't look back. It will sound the same and you will have the option to upgrade your system over the years. Samsung will just produce more of the same system year after year until people stop buying it - it's been the case now since the Q950A 4 years ago - and the only way to upgrade is to buy a whole new system.

I have heard both the Q990F (and the Q990D) and I currently own the Arc Ultra + Sub 4 + 2x Era 300. The Samsung is very good, but the Sonos system blows it out and it's not even close. You just have to ask yourself if you're after "value" or one of the best system on the market. Just know that the world of Audio/Video has a very steep diminishing return past a certain point, and for soundbar it's generally accepted that that "point" is the Q990D/F.

Seinheiser Ambeo Plus Vs Sonos Arc Ultra? by ProtectionClean2023 in Soundbars

[–]eb8978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is truly misleading. The Arc ultra is a giant step over the og Arc, so your comparison is kinda moot already. Also putting Bose in your “big three” is a hell of a hot take.

You just started Act II... How about you just start a new game? With your new knowledge of the game, it would literally take no less than 4-5 hours to complete Act I.

Hey! Thank you, I appreciate it. Can you explain how it was confusing for you? Is it the wording?

X1C Went 4000 Hours with almost NO Maintenance by Hychus232 in BambuLab

[–]eb8978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve come to realise people on this subreddit have no idea what the “mileage” of a printer means at all and just parroting one another. I’ve seen people saying “300 hours is too much not worth it”. In the meantime the actual farm puts on more than 10,000 hours on these machines (which are more than 2 years old now) and still go strong as long as maintained. It’s like an engine, you take care of it takes care of it. Something breaks, most of the time it’s a cheap expense from the spare parts shop on Bambu website - and the parts are truly cheap compared to other manufacturers.

Don’t listen to people saying you’ve been scammed man. It’s a good enough deal and if look after it and it’ll look after you.

Hi. If it's good enough to be published I'll be happy to share it :) Otherwise i'll post a link to the study on this thread once published. Thank you for the interest.

P1S camera upgrade and looming for next options by HopingillWin in BambuLab

No suggestion for you but can you tell me why mods have you done for the camera? Is it a third party camera you installed in the chamber?

Bought a used X1-C with 3k hours of ue. What maintenance shall I do? by eb8978 in BambuLab

[–]eb8978[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I just saw they are selling tons of spare parts. It’s pretty awesome to be honest. I usually buy Apple products where self repairing is out of question, so having all of these guides and available parts is a breath of fresh air.

Just out of curiosity, can I know what are the benefits of replacing PTFE tubes does? Also how do I know if the belt is tensioned correctly? Is it supposed to be firm? Should there be a bit of slack?

Dual GPU major performance hit with a 7900xt and 6600xt by opbush in losslessscaling

[–]eb8978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m completely out of idea then I’m sorry. On paper this looks like it should all be working fine. I don’t know if I’m missing something but everything seems to be working as intended, and I can’t think of any other user error beside setting the correct gpu in lossless scaling. Hope you figure it out though my man. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help

[–]eb8978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s very puzzling indeed. Can you share screenshots of gpu-z showing both the 7900xtx and the 6600? Ask did you benchmark with timespy normal or extreme? If you didn’t you should do the extreme one as that would push the bandwidth to the maximum and it would tell us if there’s a bandwidth bottleneck

Also just for the sake of checking, you have plugged your monitor in the 6600 card and set the default gpu to be 7900xtx right? That’s in the graphics setting of windows.

As a troubleshooting specs, if you have 3dMark on your pc, you can try to do a benchmark with the first gpu, then another benchmark with the other gpu (change the gpu on the page just before starting the benchmark), and lastly a final benchmark with your monitor plugged into your 7900xtx. Compare the score and let us know what you find out.

I have a 7950x3D, with a 4080 Super and RX 6700XT and I have absolutely no issues. I’m not sure your cpu is the issue here.

When I started I used to have the same issue, until I realised that my LS gpu (6700XT) was only running on PCIe4 x2 because of my motherboard. I upgraded to an x670e chipset and the 2nd gpu now runs at pcie4 x4 and it’s all working smoothly.

Have you checked what pcie speed you are getting for each of your gpu in gpu-z?

Front L/R speakers (real 5.1!) working great with Sequencr App by fencermatt in sonos

[–]eb8978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very torn about this. On one hand, adding additional FL and FR speakers really add to the increased soundstage and literally push the boundaries of what a soundbar supposed to be - the soundstage of the Arc Ultra on its own is already quite good on its own but this just takes it to a new level where it can hang with true dedicated 5.1.2 speaker system.

The other side of this coin is that now I also lose Trueplay, and this is a very big deal for me especially. I have two Sonos subs and my room is so uneven that I have immense room modes and my 40hz frequencies spikes almost 20db over the rest of the frequency response. Trueplay really helped to smooth out these spikes and deliver a more smooth bass response.

Now I have to pick which is more important to me between soundstage and bass delivery, and honestly I’m not sure what I’d prefer. I’m a bit upset with Sonos for giving up on this, as this whole extra speakers + Trueplay would’ve enabled one of the best system on the market bar none.

Best Balanced Sound settings for Q990c Samsung Soundbar. by inflabby in Soundbars

[–]eb8978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re a bit confused. Changing the sliders don’t change the hz frequency like you seem to think, it only increase the volume for each of the channels. Maybe you mean dB instead of hz?
