| Anyone take Tepezza? Well, my main profession right now is tutoring, and if I lose significant hearing I probably won't be able to do that. Hearing problems will interfere with most jobs. Also, I have some mental health diagnoses and PTSD and music is the most comfo... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @kennyc I haven't tried it with a real piano. I do know that the resonance depends on the audio equipment, such as the PC source (or my current Aurender) and the choice of DAC. There are some DACs that have far less resonance. The headphones an... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @symphonicsoul Did I say the Aurender N100 DIDN'T aggravate the issue? It is worse with the resonance compared with what I had before, a NUC PC-based system. A very modest PC-based system. So the N100 was amazing in terms of dynamics and resolutio... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @symphonicsoul Yeah I had a good seat for the Bruckner - slightly back and elevated a little bit (the so-called Terrace at Walt Disney Concert Hall) - actually I bought a fairly cheap ticket and ended up near the side and back of the terrace where... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @symphonicsoul "An amplification at certain frequencies" is very similar if not identical to what I mean. I don't have any hearing loss according to the audiologist's report, or at least my hearing is currently within the normal range. My condolen... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @howardlee They measured my hearing. That's why I wrote that the ENT mentioned my hearing was normal. Is that an audiology exam? @devinplombier Yes! My asthma disappeared shortly after stopping gluten. Some GI problems stopped. We'll see how the ... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @terry9 @moonwatcher I've had tinnitus my whole life and this resonance for at least 9 years. The tinnitus did improve when I stopped gluten recently, and the resonance reduced a bit. I guess what I'm getting from these posts is that my ENT was v... | |
| a resonance in my left ear @willcycle Unfortunately I can't hum high enough. The lower resonance is somewhere between 500 and 600 Hz. My voice is around baritone range. | |
| a resonance in my left ear @sfgak I don't have access to an equalizer for my main audio system. I'm using an Aurender N100 as the digital source. In any case it only affects my left ear and I wouldn't want to devastate the signal going into my right ear. Perhaps if I could ... | |
| Gustard A26 @deep_333 Comedy of errors. I bought one from Amazon and it was dull sounding, nothing like people have been describing this unit. I exchanged it for a second unit which was pretty dull too. Then I discovered driving it from the U18 DDC through ... | |
| Gustard R26 - different sound signatures in different units @mofojo It was partly not realizing they sound much better when driving by a U18. Bought R26 from Amazon on strength of its reputation among the New Jersey Audio Society. Drove it via USB. It was really boring sounding. Dull, no high-end extens... | |
| Gustard R26 - different sound signatures in different units @audphile1 I guess you don't like the R26? I think it has some remarkable qualities. Musical and dynamic (the two R26's I have now even though one is much brighter and one has a sibilance problem which may resolve with burn-in). The guy who does... | |
| Gustard R26 - different sound signatures in different units @bigshutterbug I would also like to know what input you used. What you are describing sounds like the USB input on the first R26 I bought. Switching to the I2S or Coax inputs with a U18 DDC was an entirely different sound signature, much more live... | |
| Gustard R26 - different sound signatures in different units @alexberger thanks for the tips. sounds wise. | |
| Gustard R26 - different sound signatures in different units @audphile1 Yes I made some mistakes, in particular not spending enough time critically evaluating the R26 I got from EBay. But keep in mind the R26 from Amazon is returnable, and I can probably sell the R26 I got from Ebay (I would be honest with... |
