If your high-frequencies are hard to hear, you may be in need of hearing aids; they can be very expensive at a regular audiologist, but Costco has the previous year's TOTL models available for about $1500 US. I've been wearing hearing aids for over 20 years, and what a difference they make in hearing music!
Guitar lacking bite, vocal lacking presence
I need some suggestions on how to improve my system.
Guitar sounds too woody and need some treble bite. The vocal reproduction
does not have enough presence.
I also built some of my speakers but non of what I do could make the system sounding a little forward. It's too laid back.
My hearing at high frequency is not very good so that could be an issue.
System:
Speakers : Thiel CS2.4
Preamp: Pass XP10
Amp: Sim Audio W7
DAC: Ayre QB9
Speaker cable: Acoustic Zen Hologram II
Interconnect: QED reference 40 XLR
Any help would be appreciated.
