Balance Control
ok...not sure what category to start this in so....here it goes.
i know balance control options are not widely available, at least from what I have seen. However, with volume loss and damage to my right ear, I am looking for a way to adjust, offset, some of that loss.
To keep what i have simple and relevant, I run a Hegel 190v, a few years old, newer model. Monitor silver series speakers and an Audeze MM-500 headphones. Also run a pair of Lokius - table and cd
Of note, I like the Hegel, but not sure it is the absolute best to pair with the Silvers or vica-versa...so these might or could change over time, in no rush as happy enough and the EQ takes edges off when needed.
75% of the time i am using the headphones. No dedicated listening room and a lot of later night listening....plus i like it.
So, looking for the collective wisdom of this place to give me possible solutions, options, possibilities, recommended units and such. I have come up with either replacing the Hegel with a unit with balance control - or with a unit with separate left and right channel volume control - or since i listen mostly to headphones, a headphone amp that can do the same..and just suck it up for now on the speakers. However, not sure about so much as to what is out there.
This is not something i need to do immediate but looking to map a plan so to speak. Gather input. Trying to avoid doing one thing only to change to another.
I truly appreciate any input as reading this forum has help over the years.

I too have a hearing defect. My left ear hears mid to high frequencies less than my right, which is correct. So I started to move my listening position, to the left. After many days of experiments, I was pretty sure, that was the way to go. So I moved my speakers on the right, further to the right, by 2 meters. This really was the way to go, not only sorted for myself, but put the right hand chair in the sweet spot. As far as h/phones go, I can adjust the sound by moving my jaw. The best sound on my h/phones is with my jaw fully open! |
