| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. @steakster Thanks. Yes; I’ve tried covering the coffee table and I didn’t notice any sonic differences. Same story with draping blankets over the slate hearth/glass fireplace insert. I’ve experimented with this several times. As you can see, I... | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. @12many It would be interesting to see if a rubber or heavy fabric pad between the floor and the paver and the paver and the stand would also remove the sibilance. FYI, I have Herbie’s gliders attached to the bottom of the stands. Sorry for n... | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. @ozzy62 Thanks. It’s certainly a great relief and fine for now. It’s a novel experience hearing vocals without being assaulted by distorted plosives and ssshhh "trails". I do miss the bass response I got with the Aqua DAC -- the Hegel H390’s i... | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. @ghdprentice Interesting. I wonder if some other part of the brain kicks in once we exhaust the possibilities dictated by reason. I agree that in my case, I probably would never had discovered the root of the problem had I not happened to demo ... | |
| LAIV Harmony @no_regrets Thanks so much for posting the additional quotes. I recognize that, due to budgetary constraints, trade-offs are inevitable in my case. That's OK. However, sacrificing musicality for resolution is a complete non-starter for me. Whe... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Great! I'll keep my fingers crossed! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Always happy to share what I've discovered. BTW -- which S. Fabers are you demoing?????? | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim You're welcome! I always enjoy the sound of Du Naan's records. I'd like to pick up a few more. For a non Jazz recording, try "Come On Home" by Boz Scaggs. | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I find CDs generally poorly recorded, clipped and way over compressed. I have over a thousand of them and just don’t like the sound. If I had the same experience, I wouldn't bother with CDs either. It's not my experience, though. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Any of the records Roy Du Naan engineered for Contemporary. Many should be streamable. Here's a list: : https://www.discogs.com/artist/407308-Roy-DuNann | |
| Thanks to the Moderators We need more people making decisions for us on what is good or bad in our adult life. When an audio thread becomes a soapbox for personal attacks that have nothing to do with the topic, I'm thankful for a moderator. I don't view it as a "threa... | |
