Yeah the bit one had auto tune. And if you think the MS-8 is plug and play you should try one. It was harder then the bit. And no. The china build house does.

nothing is really hard about tuning a system when you understand what your doing. you make it out to be this hard ordeal.

remember that time i you swore i couldn't use the program? i downloaded it set up the inputs and outputs like you swore i couldn't? it took me a few minutes.. I'll bet a 12 year old with a few weeks around someone knowledgeable can use the program.

You're a snake oil salesman's dream.

But according to him, none of us are "legit" and no one here except himself knows what they're doing or talking about. He actually posted that nonsense. Too funny.

Bro you assigned inputs. You never tuned it. So no you don't know how to use it because the fact is you haven't.

Nobody is legit in his feeble little mind. Hell he was arguing with people that have multiple championships.

you know dam well you said i couldn't even assign inputs so i did to show you. then you just recently told me i don't have individual settings for adjusting my output yet i do.

now you saying i can't use the DSP but you apparently don't know this isn't my first active system. kmsl.

i took your word for the channel tuning even though i used 1/3 octave tones with a RTA to adjust the levels. killing all the channels doing each speaker individually and doing each side then testing all drivers.

3 DB difference is a HUGE difference. its perceived as twice as loud. an average over bandwidth is misleading as well. regardless of what frequency if you have them matched within a 1db you wouldn't hear the difference and its going to be defined and placement will be recognizable.

you don't even kno what tuning features my CD player has yet you know what i've done. seriously? lol

im sure your a good tuner. but most of the people here don't really compete they just want good sound. you are one of the few whos been exposed to knowledgeable people so you have a better understanding.

alot of stuff you say is simply made up and just not true fom an electrical and acoustical stand point regardless if i'm a world champ or not.

Anybody will hear 3bd difference. do they know how it affect image? maybe not but they can tell you something isn't right with a 3db difference. Anyone who knows abit about sound intensity will tell you red flag..

4/6 listening to the first 3 seconds - the 2 I missed I chose the 320 kbps on Neil Young and Katy Perry

Can you actually hear any difference or it was good guesses?

And volume level here is important.

I "thought" I heard a very very slight difference in some of the songs, but you know psychoacoustics and all that....I probably got lucky. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suave.gif.858fc102f7646e678ee8af7e1fbc41d1.gif

I was listening at about 1/3 max volume; I also should mention I'm not using any fancy sound card as well. Started storming hard here so desktop is a no go. I'll try again tomorrow.

Really if it wasn't side by side I would not be able to hear the difference between a higher quality mp3 vs uncompressed....assuming I'm really hearing a difference at all.

i usually get 4/6 on my laptop when i hooked it up to my home stereo i get 5 nearly every time. the most noticeable thing is the noise floor and strong dynamic strikes as well as the vey high harmonics and very low tones if your woofer is up to it.

I use headphones for any of my "critical" listening. It's too much of a PITA to get a home stereo properly set up. I'll try again at a higher volume and see how that goes.

I got 3/6 on my s8 headphones. All 3 I got wrong I picked 320. So maybe I cant hear difference between 320 and uncompressed, but I can below

Some songs are very hard. No doubt.

I listen to a lot of stuff in 16/44 it's easier when you know the recordings very good then you hear noise and you can't hear the lack of transparency once you go to mp3.

Like I said though some stuff is mastered better than others and have more detail.. listen to the noise floor and dynamics..

S/not becomes apparent at higher volumes. One recording that is revealing is In the air tonight..

bjork is pretty cool too. I like army of me..

If you had a single stereo full range input like most use because that's all you need you didn't assign them right.

And 3db is 2x the intensity. 10db is known as 2x as loud.

3db is the point you know something is different but that's frequency dependent.
