    Where do I get a test tone Cd

    in Architectural

    Posted

    Thanks to both Gil and Gaspr. The real traps site is great. I'm computer illiterate so I haven't YET been able to create the low frequency test tone CD yet. I do have a CD burner and the file downloaded. Old age isn't for sissys. Still am looking for test CD tones above low frequency. Did move my listening position to 38% from the back wall. I was very close to the back wall before. Sound stage improved plus I treated the first reflections on the side walls at YxX(2)/ X(1)+X(2). Neat no mirrors.

    I have a 25 year young SP 11. First trip to the factory was 2 months ago. Sound of this pre amp is still awesome. Holds price "used" extremely well. Blue book is still $1800. Was great with Klipsh Horns and now with RF 7's. Factory support awesome.

    I'll give this a second try. I had a Older CD only player about 15 years old that I paid $3000+ for. I bought a used 7 year old Sony S9000ES DVD/CD player. For CD's it blew the $3000 CD player away. Almost every CD in mt 600Cd collection sounds incredibly better. I don't even play DVD's. Cost on Ebay $335. I think the s9000es sold for $1500. Good luck.

    You probably know this but, Place the sub at your listening position and while playing appropriate low frequency music, crawl on your hands and knees around the room. In this position your head level is just about where it is when seated listening. Where it sounds best is the best sounding place to put the sub. Easier to move yourself around the room than to move the sub.

    I probably know less about subs than just about anyone here. I had a Velodyne DD 12 list $3000, that I could hardly hear with my RF 7's. I was told by Velodyne that I had an efficientcy mis match between base reflex RF 7"s and sub and to get a velodyne DLS 5000R base refex list $800. It works great and I sold the DD 12 and am $'s ahead. Located the new sub in same spot as the DD 12.

    I recently got a Sony S9000ES vintage 2001 for 2channel CD's only. Fantastic at $335 on ebay. It blew my vintage 1990 $3500 CD player out of the water.There are several CD types this will not play[cdr/cdrw] but this unit sells almost the same price as the next 2003 year model that plays most CD formats. My guess is 2001 model has better DAC's and other parts. It weighs a lot more. The 9000 does play stereo and hybrid SACD's but not multichannel. Playing SACD's has become almost a non issue for me. I have 600 regular CD's that will take me a year to play. I hear things on them I never heard before. Badly recorded CD's however, sound horrible, as you might expect,and go to the basement.This is the CD player Dean has which he raves about.

    Put the spikes in and see if you like it better. Watch out on scratching hardwood floors. My take is the spikes sound better. It has an effect of making the speakers heavier since all the weight is now focused on a very tiny area ie the four points of the spikes.
