SFS min back to 220,

Never mind my SFS Max = SQ related story ...

From that other topic I now derived that you just changed the SFS and not the SFS Max "only".

Hi Peter,

the SFS is 220 now, there is no spread  anymore. (before SFS min=2, SFS max=220)

Just want to chip in on "stop all services"

Having tried "stop all services", for me this is a big improvement. I agree with the earlier descriptions. More weight, and tonal richness, cleaner and more detailed but smoother highs. Overall there is more sparkle that makes me want to keep listening.

Defiantly a preferred setting.

For reference this is with w7 09z-8-2
SFS 1.5 sfs max 180
Q1 = 7

And then one more thing, but careful not to drop dead now;

*If* this really matters for a more holographic sound, it can be expected that in W8 it will matter too. What am I saying ? well, that in W8 it can well be that we should try to allocate the Contigious Memory (that's what this is all about) more towards the memory limit (the 16GB we may have in there). However, this is not possible and so it should be done the other way around : remove physical memory.

But nobody should try it unless you want to end up in mental hospital and I better try that myself some time.

Hmm ...

But reducing Memory can be done in OS this way , is that of some interest?

Or if you are using RAMdisks, just make them bigger to use more memory.

Jud, your idea feels good, but I don't trust this much. Never mind why for now, and I will try to work this out later.

Otoh, do not forget, this was about a perceived SFS Max changing SQ a great deal, but which was about a misundersting (which Joachim). So it may be a moot thing after all, unless someone is going to A/B it.

Peter

Yeah, well, and by pure accident this does not work out well. I don't know why. I tried it myself the other day, and it wasn't respected. It will most probably do something somewhere, but at least in my normal environment it wouldn't work out.
Still a very good idea and I didn't think about this one.

Thanks,

Hi Peter,

changed SFS max as follows.


1. Replay with SFS max 241, stopped the file and
2. changed SFS max to 2,0 , now a replay with the accentuated left/right separation of the SQ
3. stopped the replay and changed SFS max back to 241. Started the file new and have now a holographic SQ again.

See the changes of memory volume in the taskmanager.

I've been playing with 8-2 with SFS of 220. This is the best so far.

No more stops or start refusals and the sound has consistency over playing sessions (I allways shut off the pc).

I also went back to "stop all services" activated. There was a lot more missing than just "grint".

Soundwise the low end is not to my liking -yet!?-. It suffers from restrained dynamics and the timing can be better (I know that it can!). I have no "holographic soundstage" experience (never did either), but I can support that there is a phenomenal instrument separation. Tone is also superb. Somewhere dynamics are lost though.

Bloody hell .............. .

A) First experience: button "Max the same as SFS" not engaged // SFS =2; SFSmax=241. Memory load is well below 1000MB. Result: accentuated left/right separation and the music plays at the wall behind the speakers. CPU activity: minor

B) button "Max the same as SFS" engaged // both SFS=241. Memory load is well above 1000MB. Result: 3D dimensional soundstage. CPU activity: much more than under A + C

C) button "Max the same as SFS" engaged // both SFS=2,0. Memory load is well below 1000MB. Result: accentuated left/right separation and the music plays at the wall behind the speakers. CPU activity: minor

The memory load seems to influence the SQ.

Nope. The SFS is. You can (finally Happy) see it on your own text now. If "memory load" as such would play "the" role, your A result would have been the same as B.

And let's not involve the "cpu activity" (or quit the conversation about it) because it seems that you don't know how to judge it. But by all means, open a new topic for it if you like.

And thanks for the feedback !

The memory load seems to influence the SQ.

Nope. The SFS is. You can (finally Happy) see it on your own text now. If "memory load" as such would play "the" role, your A result would have been the same as B.


Ok, we technicians say "cause and effect"
SFS influences the memory load.

But the PC/OS is reacting differently with engaging the button "Max the same as SFS" under the item A and B

(I held the ctrl-v button fow a while to be sure it should be clear that we stop this subject).

... This is because the SFS is different.
