I want my system tuned , I'm a knob, I'm in Picton, Ont, I can drive there. Tx
Are you looking for the first 80% tune or the last 20%?
For the first 80% you can get someone (like Nick) to do an on-line tune for you. For the last 20% I'm not sure we have anyone in Ontario...

I can fabricate anything. But when I read about tuning my eyes glaze over. Thats why I go to the gtgs. When I did my audison I set crossovers and speaker distances and that made a huge improvement.
i would love to attend a tuning for dummies course if any tuners out there put one on.

I don’t think he has a mic or any desire to use REW. The DSP is also a DSR1.

Spoiler alert, you might want to brush up/familiarise yourself with the basics of REW and the Helix DSP software. I’m working on something for Rick’s gtg that might be just that.

I'm not aware of any competent tuners in Ontario.
But if you're willing to drive across the line and go to New Jersey, then go see Nick @ Vanguard.
It'd be a 6 hour drive (each way)... but well-worth the time and money.

If you really want to do a road trip, then I know an amazing tuner in Calgary.

That would be awesome.

I know Julian (@AVIDEDTR ) did my first tune in 2010/2011, but I'm not sure if he is interested in doing any tunes now...

Look up videos by Kyle Ragsdale on YouTube, here is Part 1:


He has I believe 14 videos on tuning, using a Helix, but can be applied to any DSP. I used these a bunch when I had a Helix for tuning, very easy to follow.

That is an excellent series. It's how I got started learning how to tune (still on the learning journey)

It'd be more than a weekend, if there's 3 or 4 of you... Each tune takes about 8 to 10 hours to do properly.

If you were serious about this venture, then it might be feasible to fly her out there (although I'm in no position to speak for her). But you'd have to assume a full day per person @ $1,000.00 each, plus split the cost of airfare and hotel. Plus the cost of shipping her SMAART gear to/from Ontario. Probably another $150 in shipping.
