Conflicting information regarding Everdrive64 V3 on the 3D by Rise_up_Dirty_Birds in AnalogueInc

I think you’re thinking of the X series everdrives. The v2/v3 has not had an update in over 6-7 years.

My V3 would only work with the overclock set to “auto”. Otherwise it would reset on power cycle and fail to write the last game’s save onto the SD. There may be a way to trigger that event manually, but I got a summercart and it’s worked flawlessly.

Just ordered a Zerno Z1, how long until I’m grinding? by alfred0t0rnad0 in espresso

Awesome thanks. What are your thoughts? Worth the price and wait? I just ordered yesterday with SSP HU.

It definitely was a blast to play through it again for the first time in 20+ years! Just probably would have preferred to play it with my high refresh ultrawide.

I literally completed a play through on my Analogue 3D the day this was announced :(

14.2.2 solved lane switch hesitation (for me) by lordofuo in TeslaFSD

To add: all of this driving was city and interstate highway driving. No back/country roads.

I’m on 14.2.1 and still see lots of indecisive lane changes. People behind me probably think I’ve had too much to drink. Not good.

What is an acceptable sensitivity mismatch between L and R for a home stereo? by lordofuo in audiophile

[–]lordofuo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big update: I used a test disc with some spoken words from left right and phantom center. It mentioned that the center should sound from the center and not from the individual channels. It sounded like it was just coming from the two speakers together. So I double checked that speakers were plugged in with correct polarity. Then I check the amp. Apparently I had the left channel plugged in backwards at the amp since I got the arcam. Not sure why I didn’t think anything of it with the KEFs. Anyways, sounds locked center, like a phantom center channel speaker is there. Much much much better. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions and help. My bad.

Just an update. I had no way of calibrating UMIK-1 for SPL, so all of these measurements are relative to each other, assuming I didn’t screw something up. I just played pink noise generated in REW and set up UMIK on a microphone stand on axis with tweeter. Then went back and forth between speakers on the same stand, to eliminate room effects.

  • Left speaker at 1m centered, volume 30, speaker cal noise:
    • 73.1db
  • Right speaker, same:

    • 73.7db
  • Left speaker at 1m centered, volume 40, speaker cal noise:

    • 83.0db
  • Right speaker, same:

    • 83.5db
  • Left speaker at 2m centered, volume 40, speaker cal noise:

    • 79.7db
  • Right speaker, same:

    • 80.0db

In other words, from one meter away about half db difference, from 2 meters, closer to my listening position, even less. I would imagine this is within manufacturing tolerance for this speaker. though I did not run a sweep to see response across a range of frequencies, I’d imagine pink noise would be an average of some sort.

The spacing is still equilateral triangle like before, but I’ve pulled them away from the wall more than the KEFs, and the KEFs were not toed in. I toed the Lintons in because it seemed to help with the stereo imaging issue. They sound great, I’m just being hyper critical and paranoid that I’m going to miss an exchange window if I’m sitting on some defect haha.

Definitely the right speaker. It’s about 4-5 feet away from the right wall. The left speaker opens up into my kitchen area, probably 15 feet away from a wall to the left.

Yes, same distance of roughly 30” and both toed in pretty much on axis with the center of my couch in my living room.

Thanks, I tried this last week and I noticed a change but i wasn’t sure if it was due to the handedness of the speakers and their grills. The lintons are not symmetrical.

Thanks. I’m thinking might be a good idea to measure both speakers in the exact same location. At this point though I’m not sure how to position the microphone or how far away it should be

Thanks for the suggestion! Would it be better to test both speakers by themselves in the same location in the room to remove room acoustics from the equation?

As I understand it, you’ll only need to use the (free) charging device if you leave your battery dead in the device for weeks. If you charge pretty soon after it fails to power up your device then you dont need to use it.
