Thank you kindly for your input, Folkcafe. I think I know the quote you were referring to, re the midrange; I saw a YouTube vid with a title to that effect, recently. Having a young pair of ears to borrow would be useful, but that's not something I have easy access to. But you've convinced me to...

That's interesting, Folkcafe. I must look into something like that graphing idea, some time - and the Soundton site. Mostly, my room acoustics don't seem to pose a signficant problem. My mixes usually end up sounding satisfactory when I listen to them on various other devices in various...

Still cannot post images. I'll try later, if/when the site/network/server issue is resolved.

Same here, (still, 9 hours later). Thank you for your input, Folkcafe. Yes, I'm sure that boundary interference wave cancellation is the cause of some of the dips in the response curves I posted. I can tell this by listening to a frequency sweep and noticing how certain low frequencies sound too...

Network problems (I think)! Couldn't post an image. WIll try again, later.

Thanks, Rob. I think I'll try your suggestions.

Again, thanks for the replies. I'm trying to determine if the old yr2002 Tannoy Reveals I'm using are still ok, so I tested them today with a measuremnt mic. Do these curves look good (to anyone here who can tell)? I set the mic about 26" from each speaker, in turn, pointing to a spot between...

Today, I did a search for 'presbycusis compensation software'. The sort of program I envisage would present the user with some sliders that let you adjust the volume of various high frequency tones, so that they all sound equal in volume. From there, the program would automatically apply a...

After searching (within my time constraints), I found a few free online hearing tests, today, but they all gave vague results, such as: "You have some hearing loss." It would be great to find one that gives you an informative results graph to download. Surely, there must be one, out there, somwhere!

Hey Rob, I'm so glad that somone was interested enough to investigate this subject by putting together an actual test. I just watched your video. Very nicely done! I'm knocking on 70 and listening to your test, at fist, I thought I could only hear up to 6k, but then realised I could hear up to...

Thank you kindly for the replies. I heard that the UMC202HD tends to distort if you crank the volume beyond 12 o'clock, so I'll probably take my chances on an 80-ohm pair.

Our ability to hear higher frequencies (above about 1kHz) tails off increasingly (typically) as we pass the age of about 20. One graph I've seen suggests that the average 70-yr-old man's abilty to hear 8kHz frequencies is reduced by about 60dB! So music mixed and mastered by an 'old' person...

Hi folks. I've googled but haven't found a conclusive answer... What is the highest headphone impedence suitable for the headphone output on the Behringer U-PHORIA UMC202HD audio interface (when mixing and mastering)? Will it power 250-ohm 'phones? Many thanks!

Thank you all very much for the replies. It's good to hear that my passive Reveals are within their expected shelf-life. They were stored in a garage for about two years, but they still sound ok to me, even though the coating on the dome of one of the tweeters has degraded and rubbed off...
