Re: [slim] Squeezebox 3 sibilance
You probably won't like this but that sibilance is (part and parcel of) the Naim sound IME. The 112 isn't the greatest Naim item, TBH. The recent Nait is much better IMHO. If anything the SB is a little recessed at the top end. One thing you might like to try is to reduce the level of the SB into the Naim to prevent transient overloading (although I don't think that the Naim is prone to that). Try lowering the volume level to 85-90/100 on the SB. Failing that, try altering the toe-in of your speakers and try a linear supply for the SB.

How is that sibilance coming from SB compared to the original CD? I have some CDs that do that and I grew up to accept that it's just the matter of the recording. One of them is Karajan/Wiener Philharmoniker/Deutsche Grammophon recording of Mozart's Requiem and I have no reason to believe that the soloists are nothing short of top level artists. Still, it sounds like in 'Tuba Mirum' soprano lady does nothing else but put ss,,sss at the end of every word. I tried it on systems costing much more than my (tubes also) and the sibilance is still there. K -- slimkid The sound stage will open up, bass will tighten and the imaging will improve. DVD performance will also increase substantially: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iAj2aPdQnk slimkid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8881 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43440 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
