Solid References

Every once-in-a-while I remember the Milwaukee-based www.novamusik.com that provided the awesome studio-monitor-quality Alesis M1Active powered-USB system I use to listen to music.

Thanks, guys/gals/w/e

L7

Was just thinkin' of all the eggheads out there with their collective noses to the scopes.

Tomorrow's Valentines Day...just thought y'all might need a reminder. Use those noodles wisely, folks.

EQ-it!


After messing with professional equalizers for the last ten years, I have found my preferred band-settings…only recently!

Clearly, these settings are for a specific forum (namely, my Alesis M1Active powered USB-speakers)…in my fairly quiet residential apartment-complex…but the EQ-settings would favor any environment where just hearing something is obfuscated by, say, freeway-noise.

OR, say you live in close proximity to air-routes…

Correctly filtering the music-frequencies around this subtle-noise can be a bit mysterious to the audio-noob.

So I took a desktop screenshot showing the Real Rhapsody EQ…5 bucks a month, kids…well worth the modest honest-investment.

Steal these settings for YOUR system!

p.s. Note the reduction of the 62Hz range. This tends to deaden the 60/120 Hz hum that is a hallmark of American A/C.
