I have tried my speakers with and without the subs. I did prefer the sound without my previous sub, but I like the SVS very much and leave it on for all genres. The bass is not boomy or bloated. Here’s a quick RTA from my listening seat. The dip at 63 and 125Hz is a null at the listening position, sitting forward a bit fills it in quite a bit. Not perfect, but not too bad for a small square room.

Agreed on the SVS. I have a PB1000 Pro that, thanks to REW and the SVS app, I have the bass set perfectly in my family room setup. It just blends in, as it should, so you're not thinking "Hey! Cool sub!". Being able to adjust the settings or use presets from the app is great when changing from music to video, or shifting from jazz to rock etc. I plan on getting a second one sometime, but for now it sounds great at the prime listening seat.

So I'm in Asheville NC and had some very good BBQ last night. They did tell me it was Texas style before we ordered, but it was very good. Some of the best ribs I've ever had, absolutely perfect

Well, this is the Schiit forum. We have Unison. The PC noise issue shouldn't matter.

YMMV

Holy Schiit, Qobuz...

...sounds amazing. I have listened exclusively to the service since I signed up on Saturday; a.) iPhone 13 Pro via Lightning->USB-C into CarPlay in the GLC, b.) iPhone 13 Pro via BT to a JBL Charge 5 (that little sucker sounds MUCH better than it has a right to!) and now c.) via Web browser, high-rez setting, USB to OG Jot multibit to mono Aegirs to LS50s (nearfield at my desk).

A JBL Flip 6 (the much smaller cousin of the JBL Charge 5) travels with me on all of my layovers. It's not an audiophile speaker by any means but it gives me hours of enjoyment when I'm on the road.

Listen to a Bluetooth speaker for music every once in a while. It'll make you appreciate your Schiit stack even more.

100% true. I love having my BT speaker at work and it makes me enjoy my Schiit stack on days off.
It's easy to mock BT but having the means to listen to music in hotel rooms has been a game changer for me.

My contribution to the Sinewave.

Useful application of VU meters:

Love that tuner. I still regret trading it away.

Tonight’s sound:

I received the three CD set, Beethoven, The Late Quartets... Performed by the Calidore String Quartet, today. An excellent recording IMHO

Easy Livin'.....Uriah Heep

Wow, memories from late teenage years. The only Uriah Heep album I owned was "Head First" which I am now listening to for the first time in maybe 30 years. (Streaming is awesome!)

Thanks for the reminder

Edit : How can I remember lyrics from 30 years ago, but not why I went to the refrigerator?

10+ years ago I managed a Bike store and would service Bernie Shaw' s bikes - really nice guy !!

Maybe it’s me but I think many people have what I call “nails on chalkboard music”. The kind of music you stop everything to turn off immediately. Steely Dan does that to me. To each their own.

Oh.

You mean like me and Guns and Roses or The Ramones.

For Me pretty much anything by Dire Straits , Madonna or the lighthouse family -- ( 1990's Hi -Fi Dem room syndrome again )
