binding post break in
Here is some info. Some postulate that the ability to filter out low frequencies reduces masking effects and possibly lets us concentrate on a sound or its direction. Perhaps useful to our ancestors to detect predators while we were eating or simply helpful whenever we need to concentrate on midrange sounds. In any case, I believe you can train yourself to be aware of it - if not to control it. Acoustic reflex |
Chrissain - break-in that happens to amplifiers, cables, speakers etc. does not last forever (cables not used for a long period of time start sounding worse). Could it be that you spend a lot of time (weeks?) working on your posts without any playing time (or you introduced/changed something else in your system)? |
kijaki, I unhooked my amps from the system, carefully removed the tubes and did the job, 1-2 hours max, like I said , my systems sound has improved since I did this "upgrade" and I will try to be patient and give it more time, because it is getting better, but at first I thought it ruined the sound of my system, I am perplexed as much as the rest of you as to why ? with my freinds amps we cliped off the Orings , soldered the wire directly to the old binding posts, and it sounded better right away, no break in needed. the only difference between his system and mine was the new wbt posts, but yet the sound of my system was of diminished sound , at least at first. once again thankyou to all the people who posted, chrissain |
