I have experienced the same with my Pass Labs 250. It is not speakers as I have several. I just wonder if it's the density or the air in the room at the time. Mine has no pattern to it. I get blow you out the room bass most of the time, but then all overtime the amp is just thin sounding in the bass. Come to think of it, this has happened with several of my amps. I have no answer.
Loss of bass & full spectrum sound
I have PSB Synchrony one,Musical Fidelity M6i + cd player & turntable along w/video
The sound is Full with deep bass then after an hour it reverts to a different unenjoyable presentation with no life..
This has been going on in my NYC apt for about a year
I have a great sound then it changes (white-washed).
I adjust speaker cables(AQ biwire comet)& occasionally it regains a full body sound however after about one hour it's gone.
All my components have been checked to function properly.
I suspect an electrical problem but voltage is steady 120
Any similar experiences?

i had that same problem, i had wrote in to the forums as well. what it turn out to be was the output cap or trans in my amp were going bad and jeff at cj called me to tell me the amp was getting a little long in the tooth. i sent it in and they rebuilt it and that was it....bass is back and dynamics have retuned. i dont know what you amp is or how old it is but if you have psb speakers they need lots of power.... |
@kennesawjet Inteseting. Yeah I have been trouble shooting this amp/speakers for a few days now. I took all the speakers out the other day and ran a multimeter through them to check the resistance. All speakers were getting a healthy reading. Then I took my amp into an authorised Yamaha specialist, and they ran some tests on the amp. I have the Yamaha RN803D. Here's the video & test results...
