Hi Peter,

The battery itself has fans and that's loud when it's charging.

The PC fan noise is only barely audible at baseline. I can see at times the PC activates the battery into recharging .... making me think power surge ...

There are pending upgrades ... I know ... in due course.

Following up on the eDelta power bank.

I have the "entire" system  running off the grid  Happy  for the few weeks.

Minor hum from the speakers have drastically reduced. Right now there's only minimal fan noise from the XX music server at baseline.

It's s quite incredible that I'm able to run these massive speakers/amplifiers, the music server, and the DAC with the power bank.  Pure battery provides about 5 to 6 hours off music. However right now it is connected in the UPS mode so once in a while the battery automatically recharges.  Although this might be bothersome occasionally during the quieter part of the music passages (fan noise), it is inaudible during playback otherwise.

One thing for sure, the signal to noise ratio has significantly improved.

Happy New Year to one and all Happy

Still enjoying the Oreleos.

Just added the eDelta power bank and running the “entire” setup off the grid B-).

Overall increased energy which is relatively stable across the audioband. So soundstage is more forward and everything louder for the same volume. The imaging is not as wide as before which I suspect is related to increased reflections.

Nonetheless totally enjoyable.

Cheers!

Hi Tod,

Looks comparable to the Yeti (there is some sort of chart with the Yeti and a Honda product), maybe just faster charging time.

Ordered one, lets see how it goes. Seems like a versatile option for power outrage ... or at least the reason for getting it  Wink

Cheers,
VJ

I presume it can power up the entire phasure set-up. The Amps/Speakers, DAC and the computer ...

Wonder if something like this can be used as an alternative power source?

Hi Ramesh,

I would say room treatments do help with imaging (edit: expansiveness). As Peter mentions, it's a heavy investment ($$/size/aesthetics); but worthwhile  Happy.

Kind regards
VJ

Hi guys,

Peter:
"IME this is toeing-out is crucial to the L/R bass not blending in a mush."
I believe you are right, this setup happened with some experimentation. In this position it all blended/locked in.


Ramesh:
Essentially this is a near field listening position. In fact, the FM curve selection may very well be as such. There is a 4-5 ft entrance on the side of the couch, which is continuity with stairs and hall, so there is some extra space for bass. For classical music, I would suggest moving the speakers wider (if you can), helps with imaging.
If you would like to hear the current setup, please do feel free to visit.

Best,
VJ

Hi Ramesh,

I have reached a good sweet spot for all genre of music, classical (and ambient  Wink )sound exceptionally great.  The side-wall treatments are very helpful in widening the sound stage, and reducing room noise. The bass traps in the corners behind the speakers have a component to tackle flutter echos. Bass traps behind the listening couch were to be mounted on the wall, but it works reasonably well on the ground. Not much toe in as you can see. With the right recordings one can have the illusion of music from behind the listening position as well. Considering the speakers act as point source, vertical soundstage is possible.

The horns generate a lot of energy... and acoustic treatments will do radical changes in its presentation. I.e. this is important for classical music where in there are numerous instruments, and smearing can have a domino effect.

Mine are typically all “red” for the FM curves, in the current room it works fine, I do try others every now and then, usually anything less, the spaciousness and image depth are affected.

This setup generates a soundscape that you are a part of (immersive), not just a plain figment of imagination, but as physical reality. Mostly to do with the bass, and how the system is able to let the entire harmonic structure of notes bloom into the room accurately. Bass is exceptionally clear! “Layered” square bass waves are appreciable, especially with ambient.

I have medium carpet and 9’ ceiling.

Pics can do the explanation.

Cheers, VJ

Thanks to You and the gang, I've discovered/enjoyed more music in the last year, than years before combined. Happy

 Another year has passed so quickly   Happy

 I am for the last year/s truly enjoying the Oreleo/phasure experience.

 I have had Grammy winning artists,  Recording engineers/ultra high-end speaker manufacturers, John Doe speaker manufacturers, novices all visit .... with great feedback  Wink

 Although difficult to describe I would put the musical presentation as acoustic virtual reality, the equivalent of visual virtual reality ...

 A picture speaks 1000 words, most speak about the walls disappearing, haven't heard anyone describe the floor and the ceilings are disappearing or something like this  ....
