| Excessive sibilance and edge....treat room? There's lots of issues other than amp specifics especially when vinyl is the source but once everything is in order, I really think it's the amp you then are actually listening to. It always seems to be recognizable through any other changes. At a... | |
| Excessive sibilance and edge....treat room? You used the microscope analogy as a bigger than life product as it would relate to a recording. Being closer to the subject doesn't necessarily conclude with sibilance. In any case, ime it's been a lack of performance on the amp's part that has b... | |
| Excessive sibilance and edge....treat room? Another way I could state it is to say that HF transient response is audibly better with hard vs soft tweeters in that HF are more highly defined with them, thus less sibilant. The microscope analogy is a predetermination by the recording venue an... | |
| Excessive sibilance and edge....treat room? I have a vague sense we're on the same page. Defining sibilance as too much precision or clarity seems a bit oxymoronic, though. How can you have too much? By saying HF are being stretched to sibilance with soft tweeters to me is more accurate sin... | |
| Excessive sibilance and edge....treat room? Okay, if anyone has something to learn in this hobby, it's definitely me! I would not consider soft dome tweeters to be harsh. Looks like there's a lack of communication here which could very well be attribute4d to me. Sibilance as I may erroneous... | |
| Excessive sibilance and edge....treat room? I think you misunderstood me there. I gave a list of the opposite of 'soft'. If however you didn't misunderstand, then no, I'm not kidding. I hear the same thing with soft dome tweeters. | |
| Excessive sibilance and edge....treat room? Silk dome tweeters are 'slow'. They stretch out the HF resulting in your issue. Soft and sibilant, and therefore with an edge. Aluminum, Beryllium, Titanium, Mylar. For in-between, Phenolic is a good compromise. Soft tweeters suck! | |
| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" He's clearly suggesting those obsessed with audio gear are driven by impulse much the same way as pedophiles apparently are, and hence the appropriate audio'phile' label. Similar to the driving force behind a fetish and therefore, perversion. Not ... | |
| Amp improvement since 1994? Mapman, how significantly? This is a question I'm very interested in as I'm a vintage guy. The only current prod. receiver I have is the dedicated HT cheapo Yamaha that I don't even know the model of nor do I care. I'd have to check if it's even a... | |

| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Minorl, sugar is sweet to an infant as to an adult. Bitterness requires a learning curve. | |
| What Exactly Does "Burn In" do for Electronics? I'd love to try that George. | |
| What Exactly Does "Burn In" do for Electronics? There is a certain semi-conductor I do believe undergoes burn in, but as an exception to the rule. And I seriously look forward to yours, George, and Al's comments on this. I've brought up the offset and bias trim pots which are variable resistors... | |
| What Exactly Does "Burn In" do for Electronics? I get that, Al. I read an inference suggesting a below spec target goal in order to achieve the desired end result. It was disputed but I don't buy it. In terms of "measurable", I was referring to wires and cables as I'm sure you recognize. All in... | |
| What Exactly Does "Burn In" do for Electronics? Infer, imply, suggest. Call it what you will but I know what I read. Perhaps you misread the previous post? |
