The Audyssey Pro Installer Kit Thread (FAQ in post #1) - Page 11

Unless the SVS software prompts you for a mic serial number or calibration file (which I do not believe it does), you cannot use it with the SVS software.


Why not have it repaired?

I haven't heard PG&F, but I seem to remember FNSF being with two other guitar virtuosos ... Satriani maybe and someone else?

Easier to type than to do.

I did some research .. John McLaughlin was the "burner" I was thinking of.

I have been generally avoiding stereo SACD, though I do have a few that I purchased before I discovered that not all SACDs were multichannel like nearly all DVD-As.

I am in the process of reviewing my 2-ch SACD and DVD-A. I have just not heard the transparency, detail and dynamics from stereo "high resolution" discs that I associate with well .. with high resolution discs. I buy these discs to "demo my system" .. to myself in effect, but that is the best way I can describe it. Any that don't make the cut will all soon be going on ebay. At this point that includes a few Alan Parsons Project DVD-A's. "Takin' It To The Streets" arrived recently and I am anxious to give that a listen.

I think I have a Norah Jones title, too, that is stereo.

Jeff

The software that accompanies the AS-EQ1 is a cut down, consumer version of MultEQ Pro with no mic "choices."

Jeff

John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia. It is an amazing performance - some say it is too technical but believe me there is also plenty of passion there. The way the three musicians play off each other is breathtaking. You will literally find the hairs on the back of your neck stand up - mine are now as I type this. The recording is live (obviously) and few discs give you as strong a sense of 'being there'. On your M&K SS150s they will sound totally ... I can't think of an adjective ... well amazing anyway.

Kind Regards,

Keith

Yes, I just replied before I read this post.


IKWYM, although I am actually still a fan of stereo (I know, I know...). If you can get the Japanese pressings of those two titles, they are the ones to go for. The US are amazing but the Japanese have the edge. I've had them both since they were released and, if they;d been vinyl, they'd be smooth by now.


For me, the performances on PG&F and FNISF surpass everything else. I can listen to them on my iPod and still get the hairs on my neck on end... but yes, they don't have the sonic quality of Mch, I concur.

Kind Regards,

Keith

Really nice! Great reason to watch my movies AGAIN!

I remember listening to this once a long time ago in a galaxy ... and what has stuck with me all these decades is that the three guitars were left, center and right across the stereo image and easy to hear the interplay.

How is the sound quality?

Jeff

It is very good indeed. It's an older recording and it's stereo, but it is still very, very good. You can hear everything - the pick hitting the string, the string on the fret, everything.

Kind Regards,

Keith

I'll chime in if you don't mind. I have the FNSF SACD and I think the SQ is outstanding. If these guys are you're cup of tea, I highly recommend ownership.

As a side note, coming up soon I have tickets to see Return To Forever with Dweezil Zappa

Thanks, I'll watch for one in the usual places. The two sellers on Amazon right now are a wee bit too proud of theirs.

Gooddoc - enjoy the show!!

edit: I found two SNSF on ebay and am "watching." That kind of music is definitely my cup of tea, or at least one of them.

Jeff

Thanks! This Saturday - very much looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, Al Dimeola is not playing with RTF...

Wow! I just checked sa-cd.net for FNSF...$75.00! I paid twenty something dollars, but that was some years ago.

Oh boy, pulled over by the Thread Police.... Honestly Officer, I was leaning over to mess with my NAS and, for just a moment, I wasn't paying attention to my keyboard.

Thanks! . I hate getting those warnings in my PM box...

Another note after watching Shoot em up and The Hulk tonite after my new Pro calibration post FW update....

The soundstage is more balanced: Before I always felt my surrounds were too loud and drew distracting attention to themselves as well as pull the soundstage to the back of the room somewhat. I actually had to lower the surround trims manually before. Now they are spot on! The new calibration has the front 3 speakers louder and the surrounds about the same.....so the soundstage is awesome. But I cannot explain the better front to back balance just with the raised front trims, because surround effects themselves aren't as "loud" and distracting. So maybe something in the more accurate filters for the surrounds or how Dynamic EQ is functioning can explain it. Before I was acutely aware I had two speakers to the side of my head...but now not.

The overall sound is so spacious, detailed, subtle when it should be, and powerful when intended....truly awesome!

Kal, thanks again. I have made a substantial investment of time and money in my Family HT where we love to watch movies.....and I am very thankful you had a hand it bringing about a situation where I am getting the best experience possible.

Congrats Gamelover! It's awesome when the system comes together like that. When the speakers "disappear", it just elevates the whole experience.

Could someone please post the firmware identification number that you can view in the 80.2 menu that knows they have the latest firmware that fixed the Audyssey Pro glitch.

I just want to be sure that the net update function gave me the correct latest firmware. My current version starts with 106.

Thanks

After running (From USB) the unzipped ONKAVR0003_H2H3000000EIREHAHA_107.zip
I got "1061-0500-0310-2101"

Thanks. I will check tomorrow night.

I have an opportunity to buy the Pro Kit at a substantial discount from someone who no longer uses Audyssey.

Are there any issues in transferring ownership or other concerns I should be aware of before purchasing it? The current owner hasn't upgraded to the current software version - am I correct in assuming that the ownership can be transferred which will then allow me to perform the upgrade?

Thanks for the info! The seller is fairly certain it will need the paid update, so I'm going into the deal accounting for that as well as the device license. Should be joining the "Pro Club" this weekend.

Will visit the installer page and read this thread fully to (hopefully) minimize the Pro Kit Newb questions

The current price to purchase MultEQ 3.x is $50.

Thanks - That confirms what the seller said.

He's a pretty up front guy, so I'm not concerned about the transaction. Just wanted to make sure that the "ownership" was transferable, which looks to be no issue.

You are correct. There will be no issue transferring ownership to you. Call Luke and he will take care of you.

Hello,
Being new to "Pro" & coming from an IT environment, I brought certain habits with me. (Like saving things in advance)
The following exchanges were brought about while creating a "License key" for my Integra DHC-80.2.
Do to the way the text file was created the last two characters of the Mac Address was dropped & the key was appended to the remaining numbers. When I brought it to Audyssey's attention, I was told that I was the only one having a problem.
From Luke: "I have always maintained that to make sure you have the correct key, copy and paste from the "purchase/activate MultEQ Pro licenses" page, this way if you could see the key is expired, you could regenerate and use the updated key." ".......please ignore the save table or print table."
I told him that I was obtaining the 'KEY" using a different computer from the one that I had the Pro Software on & I believe that others could also be on a network segment that does not have Internet access. (The need for the key's storage)
I also told him: "...my most recent work environment (Before retirement) was in Tech Support for a multi Campus school system that had a complex network system that did not have Internet access at all nodes. I had to do my downloads before I reached my work location. I also asked: "If they are not to be used, why do the two buttons exist?" (I know that I could save the file using another method)
Sorry for the rant, but if others have used the "Save Table" button & had the "Run-together" serial / License Key, please respond to here or to Audyssey.
Carl
