JBL SDP 55 Full Dirac Setup Completed & FANTASTIC RESULTS
JBL SDP 55 Full Dirac Setup Completed & FANTASTIC RESULTS
This. Is. AMAZEBALLS. Yes it took Way too many hours due to my mistakes and bugs, but I'm glad I stepped through it all, to learn a lot and show you guys some things to expect too. Bottom line, this is simply a phenomenal game changer to the way everything in your collection sounds. It's as big a change as going from entry level big box store speakers to 5 figure monsters, no joke. Things are now obviously present in both movies and music that simply were not able to be experienced before, even with a top of the line receiver. More coming!

Building A Customized Home Theater Rack Cabinet NavePoint
Building A Customized Home Theater Rack Cabinet NavePoint
I have severely outgrown my first cabinet that I made from Ikea parts, but love the look. So this is my DIY Home Theater Cabinet made to be functional as a fully featured rack, but with a living room friendly appearance. It will hold everything I'll ever need, has silent cooling fans, smoked glass and the panels are secure. I can finally do proper wire management and have easy access to all the equipment anytime from the back by simply spinning it on casters. Coming next is the gear install and final touches yet to come.

Yeah. It's that good. I'm truly amazed at the results so far, even compared to what I still think is a stunning combo with my old system, that I still would suggest to anyone for music or home theater. This is just another level in all regards. And this is with NO SETUP at all yet. That's coming next.

Completed Rack And JBL SDP 55 First Boot
Completed Rack And JBL SDP 55 First Boot
It's ALIVE! Tell you what, the grommets worked, but I never want to get in the back again. If you do this, do everything you can to have enough slack to work with, learn from my mistakes. I also had to make new speaker cables - sure why not! In a couple days I have a few more things coming to add and wrap things up. LightDims for the obnoxious LEDs on the equipment, better cable clips for the room and more. Next will be setup of the processor, learning the features, playing with Dirac, figuring out the best tune, etc. After I know what I'm doing and have a good grasp of everything I'll have a full review and give my thoughts on the differences I hear compared to my Yamaha 2085. Stay tuned!

How To Setup EZBEQ On A Raspberry Pi For More Bass
How To Setup EZBEQ On A Raspberry Pi For More Bass
Here's everything you need to know to setup EZBEQ on a raspberry pi, connect it to your MiniDSP and enjoy more and better bass out of your subs and transducers in thousands of movies! Many times studios remix soundtracks removing ultra low bass from the original. Other times films are released with just lackluster low end signal. This is just a couple clicks on your phone before you watch a movie to add real punch. It's free software so if you already have a Raspberry Pi, give it a try and see how you like it!

BETTER Buttkicker Valencia Tuscany Mounts
BETTER Buttkicker Valencia Tuscany Mounts
Following my first buttkicker mount vid for these Valencia Tuscany home theater seats, I ended up going back to a similar design I've used in the past. The difference is this way is more immersive. It does take up more energy though so if you only have a single small unit and need everything you can out of it, stick with the first version. But if you have the headroom, this way gives your whole body an equal transducer experience. It also applies to the vast majority of theater type seating.
