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!
I appreciate the vote of confidence, but I've exhausted every avenue of troubleshooting I can think of. I have swapped, removed, replaced, toed in, toed out, pink noised, tone swept... All in all, the system does sound dandy. Lots of air, detail, quite enjoyable. If I focus on what's there instead of the tiny percentage that's missing, indeed, quite enjoyable. |
You lost me. You said "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.😕" You say you heard them all the way up to 14K. If you are hearing your system make test tones up to 14k, it would seem your system is making treble. What am I missing? Are all your components in the chain? |
@12many , That, my friend, is the big mystery! |
