Has your spouse been yelling or screeching at you lately?
That might affect hearing, hopefully not permanently. Maybe you’re still subconsciously screening out high frequencies? 😉
Honestly, check your hearing as your symptoms match.
Help! Treble Trouble!
Ok, cognoscenti, put your coconuts together.
The system I've put together at the house I stay in while working out of state has a problem. I have nonexistent treble at my listening position, particularly cymbals, high hats, etc. Not a toe in/toe out room problem as I can sit right in front of either speaker and stick my ear two feet from tweeters and hardly anything. Can hear it ear stuck right up to them. My high frequency hearing is fine. This happens with any source, digital or analog. Not the speakers as it happens with either the two sets I have here. Happens with to different amps also, Odyssey Stratos with plenty of juice and a Belles Aria integrated. The common denominator in this I think is my dac. Is it possible my trusty old Mytek is somehow conking out and causing this?
Mids and bass are smooth and clear, just missing a lot of highs and it's mucking up my listening enjoyment. So, what do you guys think?
Gear here:
Odyssey Stratos amp,
Belles Integrated,
Mytek Stereo 192-DSD dac
Living Sounds Audio LSA20 signature speakers
Avance Epsilon980 speakers
Denon dp-57l turntable
LeJonklou Slipsik 7.1 phono pre
Audiolab 6000cdt transport.
Thanks!

Just did a tone sweep from listening position.. Mids handed the tone over to the tweeter and heard them all the way up to where I couldn't anymore, which apparently I'm down to 14k.😕 Thing is, the music highs I'm missing aren't near that high. I know tones don't equate to music, but this is really a mystery. Gotta be something in the chain before the speakers.

@kennyc , My wife has a soft, beautiful southern accent, like angels singing in my ear 🎶 |
It’s good you’re making progress. Have you tried changing all the switches on your components? Unplug then replug all your gear? Thoroughly cleaned your cables and connections? If so, then it’s swapping out components to further narrow it down. Avoid using the hammer, especially the sledge, or kicking - it’s video entertainment and NOT reality. Glad it’s not the spouse. Music is healthy. Hope you resolve this issue soon. |
That’s wonderful, you are truly blessed 👍🏻 Fortunate it’s not the opposite like when she calls then thinking “Now what?”, fearing for one’s life, looking for a place to hide.. 🫣
