How often do you adjust active chakra/akurate filters?
Linn's old filters were always intersting to investigate in any set-up. However, the newer fliters are more insensitive. My question is, what is your experience with setting up active systems with chakra/akurate amps? How often have you been able to improve thing by adjusting the filters? And if, was it ony in 'exteme-room' circumstances?
Hi Robert!
I have never installed an aktiv system with Chakra cards where there was any benefit in adjusting the levels. The steps of 1 dB are too large.
In addition, the best sounding level is the standard setting. If you adjust all levels up (and reduce the volume on the preamp by the same amount), or adjust all levels down (and increase on the preamp), it sounds clearly worse than leaving all levels at the default '0'.
