News: Nubert & Meze

oluvsgadgets post News: Nubert & Meze from patreon

I managed to recover a bit from the past weeks and today I received 2 packages from Nubert. Included are the SP-200 which I already unboxed and placed below the A28 for a direct comparison as well as the SP-500 which are crazy heavy and still inside their packaging. I am currently listening to the SP-200 with the A28 side by ...

Christmas walk

oluvsgadgets post Christmas walk from patreon

I wanted to share this short walk through our neighbourhood when we still had a bit of snow, which completely melted in the meantime. I also wanted to take the opportunity to wish everyone a merry Christmas, and a great peaceful time together with your family or your beloved, something I cannot claim about myself unfortunatel...

Audio Pro A36 vs A38 - listening session

oluvsgadgets post Audio Pro A36 vs A38 - listening session  from patreon

Dunno what happened but the link to the video I had posted before somehow got lost and I couldn’t access it anymore although it was working when I posted it. Patron has lots of bugs obviously

For all those wondering if the A38 sounds any different to the A36, yes it does and to my surprise it’s not an improvement i...

oluvsgadgets post Oluv’s audiophile collection #59 from patreon

Every music era has an own “sound”, if you think of music from the 60s, 70s, 80s… I am usually not a big fan of music that was recorded during the 90s. While 70s recordings are usually warm and smooth, during the mid 80s they started to sound more and more sterile, with some cold digital sound to them. Therefore I usual...

Earfun UBOOM L - firmware 050

oluvsgadgets post Earfun UBOOM L - firmware 050 from patreon

Some days ago, one of you had discovered the new released 050 firmware by Earfun which is supposed to offer more bass than my tuning. I haven't even known about this, but wanted to give it a try and also let you hear how this new version sounds, which has nothing in common with my tuning. But many seem to like it, thus why sh...

DOSS Extreme Boom Speaker

oluvsgadgets post DOSS Extreme Boom Speaker from patreon

I got an unannounced package with 2 DOSS Extreme Boom speakers inside. They didn’t ask me if I wanted to review it but obviously still had my address somewhere.

Not sure what to do with these speakers now, best would be to throw them into the trash can. I don’t even want to bother with doing any measurements.

Audio Pro A48 - EQ

oluvsgadgets post Audio Pro A48 - EQ  from patreon

I tried creating a quick EQ to smoothen out the frequency response of the A48. The changes are rather subtle and I am not even sure the difference becomes really that obvious through my recording or if it is represented correctly at all. But even after some adjustment I have the impression as if treble wasn’t the highest qu...

Audio Pro A28 & A48 - listening test

oluvsgadgets post Audio Pro A28 & A48 - listening test from patreon

I thought it could be interesting to compare the small A28 to the A48 as well, as both have a more constant frequency response than the A36, unfortunately I didn't notice that my son mounted the covers upside down for the A28 which was also placed upside down, therefore the change in sound with or without cover is quite stron...

Audio Pro A28, A36 & A48 frequency response measurements

oluvsgadgets post Audio Pro A28, A36 & A48 frequency response measurements from patreon

I performed some measurements of all 3 Audio Pro speakers, as usual outdoors from a distance of 50cm. I also did some control measurements from 1m, but they looked more or less the same with the exception of some increased ground influence creeping in. I measured without and with cover (purple) to demonstrate the influece on ...

Audio Pro A48 - first impressions

oluvsgadgets post Audio Pro A48 - first impressions from patreon

A first video with the A48. I am not quite sure about the qualities of the BMR driver instead of a traditional tweeter. In some aspects it seems to give a benefit but in others it seems to perform worse. I lack the treble sweetness of the A36 somehow. Let me know what you think.

Yeah, my favourite instrument is in fact the Fender Rhodes e-piano, that’s why I wanted to dedicate an own playlist just to this particular instrument which enriched not only Jazz-music since the 60s.

I love the variety of its sound colours depending on the used effects like wah wah, phaser, auto pan or flangers toget...

Audio Pro A28 - first impressions

oluvsgadgets post Audio Pro A28 - first impressions  from patreon

I was surprised about the bassheavy sound of the small A28, although adjusted it sounds pretty nice and in some aspects seems even more correct than my A36.

I will shoot another video with both speakers placed equally. I also unboxed the A48 in the meantime and will also put them against the A36 shortly in a next video....

There is obviously some delay with the production of my new microphones as the “designer” has some family problems and cannot build them right now, thus I cannot really perform any quality recordings neither measurements with the current setup which is why I decided to take some time off from everything.

I compared both a while back but recently Cyberport had some discount for the 7 selling it for 130€ and I decided to grab one again. I didn’t remember it to be that bad but to my surprise I liked the 6 way more soundwise.

I’ll probably still keep it to have both 6 and 7 to be compared to the 8 when it gets releas...
