Got a bit of an unpleasant shocker yesterday. Came home from work, eager to listen to some nice tunes on my system. Started playing some albums, and got startled with a very unpleasant sounding presentation. Harsh glare, thin midrange, loud but at the same time somehow shallow and abrasive bass. What the...?
Something sounded seriously broken. My heart sank. I'm in love with my audio system, and to hear it broken like that... well, I don't have to explain how hard it was on me. Anywho, started doing a bit of troubleshooting. It did happen to me on several previous occasions (throughout a number of years) that my preamp would get to the point of sounding muddy (this happened very rarely). All it takes is to turn it off and back on, and the muddiness gets cleared away. So I tried it last night -- no effect. I turned my power amp off and back on -- same difference. I did the same to my outboard DAC -- no change. Finally, unplugged my Touch, plugged it back in, and voila! the sound returned to normal. Full bodied, sweet bass, rich midrange, silky, airy highs. So what gives? Why did Touch end up sounding so toxic all of a sudden? Any explanation? -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86893 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
