stormbound in the hotel, so here are a few thoughts 1. not only different systems affect the outcome, but also the volume that the music is played at has an affect. I am playing at quite a low volume and therefore this has an effect on the balance which might seem overemphasised when played at higher volume.
2. what I don't get is that I like SBT out of the box and I liked TT2.0, but just cannot get on with TT3.0, would not say my system is that bright. I am thinking maybe modern electronics and valve systems have been designed to take the brightness out of digital music and therefore need a bright source. 3. has anyone tried the priorities for TT2.0, I would like to hear what they sound like. 4. the advantage of the SBGK p62 settings is that there is headroom to play with from jivealsa at 45 all the way to 75 and loadavg from 50 to 76. I you like TT3.0 sound you can just change the jivealsa and loadavg to 75/76 and you will get the TT3.0 sound. If you like TT3.0, but just want a little less forward sound then just back off the values. with TT3.0 there is very little change that can be made as the sound breaks down if jivealsa value is lowered. 5. don't forget chrt -f -p 98 154 and 155 can give a little sparkle to the music, some reported greater focus and placement of instruments. might be worth trying. 6. the sequence of my changes for p62 was using p48 settings, but with SBGK priorities, except for watchdog still at 0 gave a very sweet sound, but a bit bass light. I then set watchdog to 99 and the bass improved, realised the sound was a bit overblown so removed all my settings and we ended up with p62 with jivealsa at 45 and loadavg 50. I then played with jivealsa/loadavg and ended up with 56/57. 7. don't know if there is any importance in the relationship between priorities of jivealsa and loadavg, in out of the box they are 45 and 50 ie 5 apart, in TT3.0 and SBGK they are 1 apart. Does this make a difference, don't know - will have to try it out. thats enough - the memsahib is wanting to brave the weather cheers -- SBGK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SBGK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52003 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
