afraid Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 I like alot of treble so i had the treble tone control set all the way up to +5. When i set it back to 0l most of the hiss went away. Whats going on here? Should i have even had it up in the first place? ------------------ Yamaha 595a SB-1's (pair) SC .5 (center) SS.5's (pair, rear channels) Zenith 27" TV Toshiba 3109 DVD player Optimus HT Surge Protector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossVTaylor Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 Mr. Afraid, Boosting the gain on the upper frequencies is going to (as you found out) accent any hiss that might be present in your system. I don't know what the "+5" means on your system, but if it's as you said "all the way up" then you'd certainly be overemphasizing any high frequency noise or hiss in your system. Good for you, liking treble! Most of the complaints and tweaks you'll read about here concern too much treble! I think far too many people (outside of the Klipsch realm) are seduced by over-bassed sound. But, I digress... I think, in general, you're best off leaving your tone controls flat and adjusting speaker placement and room acoustics to get the right sound. Does your room have lots of curtains and carpeting? Are your speakers on the floor or on stands? All of these things can affect the speaker's tone. Experiment, and leave that treble control alone. Ross ------------------ "Time flies like an arrow.

afraid Posted May 27, 2001 Author Share Posted May 27, 2001 Here is my front setup. As you can see i dont have much room to place speakers. Looking for a nice sub, then a nice tvstand/ av rack. ------------------ Yamaha 595a SB-1's (pair) SC .5 (center) SS.5's (pair, rear channels) Zenith 27" TV Toshiba 3109 DVD player Optimus HT Surge Protector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
