babadono Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Yea I think it's because my room is so bright (many hard surfaces). Hopefully someday I will tackle that situation also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorjen Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Still playing around with settings. Going back and forth between -9 and -12. Crazy! It does not jive by the numbers in my mind but the sound tells me something completely different. Since I have been listening to them so forward for so long at first I thought there was no chance settings in this range would ultimately fly. Seemed too dark, too thick if that makes sense. However, after experimenting in this range with a bunch of different recordings I am starting to really like it. This won't come as much of a surprise either I am sure but as you might imagine I am also able to listen to recordings that I could not tolerate previously even with my crappy hearing. I no longer find myself running for the hills with less than stellar vinyl. Needless to say I am pleased that I began to question my tap settings and am going down this path.

May I ask if you lots of your favorite music might be from earlier decades, where it may have been recorded cleanly (low noise and low distortion) but was deliberately hit with a lot of compression when mastered, to be playable on cheap vinyl players and even SOTA turntable systems of the time? Examples like 60s pop, soundtracks and even classical recordings? If yes, are you saying that the B & C DMC50 driver, with its paper diaphragm, makes listening to such overcompressed recordings way more enjoyable than would other compression horn drivers you may have used, with beryllium, titanium or aluminum diaphragms?
