I've had best results dropping noise floor down as much as possible. Routing cables so no crosstalk, but I would invest in a nice passive power conditioner. I've had good luck with Running Springs but they are no longer around. PI Audio Uber Buss is best bang for buck, they will easily beat out RS Hayley. It will let you hear the cymbal, you can tell if ride is being played with nylon or wood tip stick, tell the difference between an A or K cymbal, give you that natural shimmer sustain you are looking for, the buzz of loose snare wires. Call PI Audio the owner is a drummer and knows exactly what your looking for, he can add extra parts to achieve what ever you want. To me very low noise floor is key to 2 channel, without it everything gets stepped on.
Hihat Question
Thanks in advance for your opinion-
My system is:
Anthem Integrated 225
Musical Fidelity Cd as Transport
Schiit Modi Multibit
Technics Sl 1200 mk2
Usher Cp6311
Morrow Cables
I like the system overall, plenty of bass, voices sound realistic, highs are not strident, etc.
As a drummer, I love to hear hihats, cymbals, etc. On some systems in the past I’ve heard more of this than through my setup. Most of these setups have been in the past on equipment I perceive is a lower grade than mine.
My question is:
Should I be hearing most every hihat strike, close? Is hearing these sounds consistently the sound of a revealing system or a ‘tipped up’ presentation that I would likely tire of?
Live music varies to me in this respect, and the music on my my system varies as well. Unfortunately, I’m not able to demo where I live, so I’m interested in your opinion. Fwiw- I hear all a lot more treble in my automobile, but could be due to the euphoric goal of the manufacturer. I’m in my late 50’s, so that may play a part-
On many jazz albums, it’s all there, others not so much.
Sorry for the one post.
Thanks
