You guys may want to do some research on the "PLACEBO EFFECT"...If you believe you can hear subtle variances at specific frequency levels and have no measuring equipment (your Radio Shack meter is probably not going to cut it in this area) or means to verify your suspicion, and feel your system sounds noticeably better after hour 1000 (compared to hour 999), keep on dreaming and drinking the Kool-Aid.
Just keep in mind, there are ACTUAL people who are convinced the Clever Little Clock (or magic beans) from Machina Dynamica actually improves the sound of their system.
...that speakers changed significantly at 1000 hrs ...
Sometimes people hear what they want to hear. If you are convinced those new caps will sound better after 1000 hours and you are at hour 500 or those new speakers will finally "bloom" or "refine" after 500 hours and you are currently at hour 200 or so, you may be experiencing the placebo effect, hearing what you THINK you should hear. n
Steve,the speakers might be salvaged by turning them into an aperiodic design. It is almost impossible to have the box volume off so far that it wouldn't work as an aperiodic enclosure. The bass can be tuned sound the way you want by varying the amount polyfill used in the variovent. I would start by setting up the box internally with the same amount damping in it that it had when it first sounded good and then start tuning the variovent for the best sounding bass.Scotty
Such as?
jackman what gear are you using,and what if any tweaks have you tried that worked?It's certainly reasonable to presume that a well engineered CDP wouldn't need added mass to control vibrations effect on the transport mechanism.Scotty
I know, he goes off about it and yet doesn't understand what they were doing?. Typical veteran response from those that are cemented in the limits of their low rez gear. They don't hear it so ergo its voodoo.
werd,you are making unwarranted assumptions. Until we KNOW what he has we can't put anything he says into context. We have no way knowing where he is coming from. Scotty
