Doh, left system off all night


Today I've been really unhappy with the sound of my system. Bass is too bloated and treble is scratchy. I was racking my head trying to figure out what I changed.

Took me an hour to remember I left the system off for about 24 hours. Doh!

@erik_squires what amps are you running? I still think my amp is my weak link, but I like class D.. I think some proper higher end (than what I have) monoblocks is where I'd like to go. The w4s mAMP looks nice.
Erik,

I had reported that my system reached its maximum SQ about 1.5 hours after turning it on, so why I don't leave it on. I need to retract that statement.

I accidentally left my system on all weekend when visiting our children out of town, and when we got back my knee-jerk was to shut it down, but instead played my new Ben Allison LP (Newvelle) which I had left on my TT. So, the last thing I listened to before spacing out my system.

The SQ improvement was big, so I wanted to let you know this even though my post was back in December.

I remember old carbureted engines that had a manual choke and had trouble starting on cold mornings. Amazing that they fixed this with modern technology.

Sad that some audio equipment should be still so poorly designed as to sound terrible until after an extended warm up. I have read that Class D is very difficult to do right and hard to build with reliable performance. A bit like Class AB is significantly more likely to have problems than Class A. Although Class AB is pretty good these days.
