came home from a small eb at st rose lagoon still thinking of the 8350 pj! sus! cant sleep, so i decided to do a couple of things on my room before the year ends. mawala lang sa isip ko si 8350!
a couple of days ago, after 3 1/2 years of good service, my linksys wrt54g router finally died on me, it just kept on going on and off. went to gh to buy a new one. got myself a linksys 610n dual simultaneous 5ghz and 2.4ghz router!
setup was pretty straight forward. but one nice thing about this router is its dual radio, so its like having two routers in one. i set it up that the 5ghz radio is emitting n signals only and the 2.4mhz radio is emitting b&g signals. so my xtreamer and my wife's mac uses the n network while the older components uses the b&g network. very big difference using the 5ghz n network, the browsing is zippy fast and transferring of files from the mac to the etrayz is very fast too. as for the old 2.4ghz. its pretty reliable and i think there is a little improvement since the xtreamer and the mac is not using the same signal anymore.
the router has a usb port at the back too, this can be use for any hard disk drive so it can be shared by the network too. and the ports of this router is gigabit already.
and after setting this up, it was already 12:30am, still cant sleep, decided to do the eq1 recalibration of my new svs 12 plus. measured only 10 positions as against my previous calibration of 15 positions. results were:
sub gain = 9 o'clock
phase = 0 degrees
crossover = disabled
avr sub level after audyssey multeq = +3.5db (within audyssey allowable limit), re-adjusted the level to 5db hot (+8.5db)
this is the graph generated by the program for the svs 12plus, as you can see, there are definite drops in magnitude (db) for my room @ 30, 40, 60 and 100hz signals before calibration and it was flattened by the eq1 after calibration. drop of magnitude (db) shown after 16hz which is what was the tuning of the 12plus with one port sealed.
this graph is the one generated for my calibration with the svs 10nsd, basically the same before graph, showing same drops on same freq range (accuracy of eq1 is very good) and the after which the eq1 tamed the room but signal started to drop at around the 19-20hz range, which is the tuning of the 10nsd.
done by 2am... back to boom boom pow! feeling more of the sub-sonics now.
