I've noticed HF ringing in my ears during speaker break-in in at least one case in the past, but can't recall ever noticing that with any amps I've used. But, EMI/RFI in the room may be playing a role, too, possibly...making the break-in effect of the amp more noticeable?? If this does not begin to clear up toward the end of the break-in period, then there is most likely another cause...assuming you haven't found it by then.
Why do my ears ring with my new amplifier?
I just changed integrated amplifiers on January 2, 2015. I went from an Audio Research DSi200 to a Simaudio 600i. I'm running a Lumin A1 Network Streamer and Dynaudio C1 speakers. Those haven't changed. I'm also in the same 10' x 12' room.
My setup sounds great when I'm outside of my room. When I walk in and sit down, my ears start ringing.
I don't think that the high frequencies are the problem. Is this too much bass energy in the room, too much sound pressure, or what do you think?
Does anyone have a suggestion on what's needed to correct this problem?
Thanks,
Chuck
