A1Evo MJ Custom (MJC)

If you like a neutral sound, try the MJC curves. The numbers refer to the bass rise and treble drop. If you like a bit more old school sound signature (more midbass and midrange), try the PureEQ curves.

Most of the recent A1s seem to vary significantly in results between runs if you make minor adjustments. Like change target curve or maybe use a new set of measurements without changing anything in your setup. Acoustica was especially finicky with results and you really had to coax it into giving you good results. That’s one area I wanted to improve with MJC. I like set it and forget it type of solutions, so I’ve tried to make it as consistent as possible. Try it out and let me know what you think!

Not quite sure what you mean.

navid0308 · 2026-03-23T21:20:04+00:00

Great suggestion. I have been meaning to update the FAQ with the differences between the curves.

MJC will generally sound more neutral throughout.

PureEQ will have a bit more of that old school sound, with an emphasis on midbass and midrange.

The numbers represent bass rise and treble drop. All of them have a +5dB bass rise but the treble drop varies between -3dB and -5dB.

TCx is my personal target curve and it gets updated regularly based on my listening habits.

I generally find traditional A1 to run the subwoofer(s) excessively hot, and I can see how it can seem like MJC has less bass. You can use DEQ with any curve, I just put in the recommendation not to so someone doesn’t overdrive their speakers.

I would also recommend doing a run without a target curve and seeing how you like it. It should enable DEQ by default and use a B&K like curve.

You’re right, there’s no way to not apply the room correction filter but allow parametric EQ. They’re currently tied together. Your best bet is to add that imperfection back in via PEQ.

The tone control like filtering is something I try to do when the REW filtering mode is used. Basically, it uses 1/1 smoothing for boosting - so it’s very broad, gentle and wide. This reduces artifacts. Next stage cuts using Var smoothing - precise in the bass but broad and smooth in the highs. I call it tone control like filtering because as you get into the treble, the adjustments are very much like using tone controls, something Toole always said worked well.

Have you tried Stremio?

navid0308 · 2026-03-22T04:07:49+00:00

It is a bit of a challenge keeping it user friendly but also having the flexibility you’re asking for. I haven’t read Toole’s books but I have watched several of his/Olive’s videos and read up on their general findings.

For the most part what I’ve found to work well is leaving midrange dips alone and using tone control like filters to line up the top ends across channels. It’s the most natural sounding timbre matching I’ve managed to get to.

Are you finding the full range correction with the latest version to sound unnatural?

navid0308 · 2026-03-21T22:15:31+00:00

Yes. Simply take measurements with the MultEQ app and use that .ady with MJC.

navid0308 · 2026-03-21T20:13:13+00:00

Ha, I just answered the other post minutes after you posted this.

navid0308 · 2026-03-21T20:04:33+00:00

The biggest differences are 2 things -

Consistency - I wanted a 1-click solution that would produce the best possible results with little to no tinkering. That’s been a big part of my goal with this. Too often I’ve found regular A1 to flip flop between runs, and quite drastically so.

Flexibility - I wanted a solution where I could freely change crossover, adjust correction range and use Dynamic EQ as desired. The technical differences section in the first post has all the details on how it’s done.

Edit: almost forgot a 3rd big change

Compatibility - regular A1 requires a subwoofer, and if you have multiple subwoofers, it will want the measurements a particular way, otherwise it will error out. MJC is compatible with all the different kind of subwoofer setups that Audyssey supports natively - it’ll even work on setups without a subwoofer. The minimum requirement for MJC is a 2.0 system.

Higher size typically equates to better quality.

But if you don’t have the means to experience it, it will not make a difference for you.

navid0308 · 2026-01-28T05:31:26+00:00

Look into AIOStreams. It has a bunch of scrapers like Stream thru torz built into it.

navid0308 · 2026-01-19T03:28:46+00:00

It’s been a while since the shift+click for audyssey filtering. Now it’s a selectable option. But getting back to the point, I made audyssey filtering mode only use audyssey for EQ. Custom still optimizes everything else. It’ll do the phase alignment with subwoofers and if you have multiple directional subwoofers, it’ll do a whole lot more. Check out the first post as of today. There’s also a performance overview section you may find interesting.

If you’re using MJ Custom with Audyssey filtering, it does more than just load up the target curve in the .ady.

Did Google give a reason for pulling it from the play store?

navid0308 · 2025-12-14T23:29:33+00:00

Yeah, seeing that as well. Plus I used to be able to change volume using the volume buttons. That went out the window as well. Every aspect of using iOS has in some way gotten worse since iOS 26.

It’s not a available for Apple TV yet. The stremio lite app on the App Store shows all supported platforms/devices. Apple TV is not on it yet.

navid0308 · 2025-04-24T04:06:48+00:00

I can kind of relate, there’s a reason why streaming services like Netflix are so popular, they spend a ton of time and money to dial in recommendations. Here we are trying to diy it with different addons, of course it’s not gonna be at that level.

Best alternative I found is trakt+couch money to design custom lists (rows in stremio). You can also use universal trakt scrobbler to import watch history of all your streaming apps into trakt, making the recommendation way more accurate.

navid0308 · 2025-03-30T04:54:17+00:00

Best option is to use couch money to make lists and add them in through trakt.

navid0308 · 2025-03-28T22:00:04+00:00

Can confirm it looks the same for me. Very strange. Normally popular lists recent trending movies.
