I would agree, TT3.0 sounds pretty awful in my system as well, I found it unlistenable. But, things have moved on, the priority settings above are a vast improvement on TT3.0 and the Touch default settings, so maybe you need to have a triple blind test which include these settings. You may want to try commenting out the contents of the kernel and tcp section in the TT file as well as there are changes in there that also cause the aggressive forward sound. At the end of the day we are just adjusting settings in a computer to give the audio related processes etc the best priorities for what it has to do and also reducing noise. TT3.0 was an attempt to do that which made the sound too aggressive and forward, maybe it sounded ok in Soundcheck's system, but there are ways to tame it and retain the benefits. I would say your donation to Soundcheck was still worth it, you just need to realise that it wasn't the finished article. I have it tuned pretty optimally and the sound is totally transformed from the Touch factory settings. -- 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
