Replaced CDP w/ Transport; Now, Soundstage Changes Dramatically w/each CD. Why?
Here's something I've never encountered. I've borrowed a Heed DT Transport and am loving the increased resolution, compared to my Jolida JD100 cdp BUT, now the sound-stage expands and contracts, depending upon whichever CD is being played.The effect is very evident-- not subtle. This is really weird.
System: Heed Transport -> Aqua La Voce II DAC -> Wells Majestic Integrated -> Silverline SR17.5 Monitors.
I don't even know where to begin. . . any suggestions? ? ?
BTW, replacing the Blue Jeans BNC cable with an Empirical Audio BNC cable didn't change anything.

The good news / Here's a list: http://vasiltech.narod.ru/CD-Player-DAC-Transport.htm#H The bad news / Your Heed is not on it |
boxer12: thanks; I'm familiar with it. . . unfortunately, it doesn't include Heed. geoffkait; Hah ! I'm afraid I'm not very good at explaining what I'm hearing without resorting to cliches. Usually, the only times I step back and focus upon sonics are occasions like now, when I've just introduced a new component into the system and my ears have yet to fully adjust to the change. In other words, the element of novelty is still very fresh. I welcome the intellect to the listening room when the focus is gear but if the focus is music, I want to be IN the midst of it, not sitting off to the side, analyzing. |
tweak1: Thanks for the suggestion. I scanned the Wire World website quickly and didn't see any links to a return policy. If I can't try it at home, I won't consider it. Audio Art has been my go-to cable source for many years and I've ordered their D-1SE to try out with the Heed. If that isn't a good match, I'll certainly be open to alternatives, providing a home demo option is avail-able. |
