Thanks for all the good input guys. I do believe it is the highly efficient Newforms that are revealing the problem which could be with my amp and digital front end, which while nice budget pieces, probably tend toward the "etched" side. I guess this is the typical high end goose chase. Get a really good new component and realize all the shortcomings of lesser equipment you were happy with before. Can anyone offer me a very cheap tweak that will totally solve the problem? Like Vibrapods and a brick on my preamp? Something tells me this won't be this easy! Mike
Help-sibilance!
Auditioning some Newform 645's which I love. However, as they have broken in, I have begun to notice quite a bit of sibilance which is driving me crazy. It is especially bad with my digital cable, but I first noticed it on Lyle Lovett's new CD which is a great recording. Any comments on what is causing the problem and potential cures would be most appreciated. System: Rotel 991, Rogue 66, MSB Link DAC, Newform R645's and Maggie 1.6's. Thanks, Mike
