Why do my ears ring with my new amplifier?


I just changed integrated amplifiers on January 2, 2015. I went from an Audio Research DSi200 to a Simaudio 600i. I'm running a Lumin A1 Network Streamer and Dynaudio C1 speakers. Those haven't changed. I'm also in the same 10' x 12' room.

My setup sounds great when I'm outside of my room. When I walk in and sit down, my ears start ringing.

I don't think that the high frequencies are the problem. Is this too much bass energy in the room, too much sound pressure, or what do you think?

Does anyone have a suggestion on what's needed to correct this problem?

Thanks,
Chuck

I think you're arguing with yourself. Carry on."

Sorry, but their you're posts. You just don't want to be wrong.

"And before you come back and start arguing with me, can you back that statement up with something real?"

If you had an answer to that statement, something tells me you would find the will to argue.

Well, I guess I'll just have to take your word for it. You seem to know what you are talking about. But just try to calm down and not get too excited. And if there's anyone else in the house, you may want to ask them to hide the remote, and the razors. If they ask why, just have them read this post.

That's right! And don't you forget it! That'll be 'Mr.' Csontos for you from now on.

Btw, that sure didn't take you long. Is there anything else you do during the day? Just curious.

Nope. Its Sunday. I'm in church using my new wifi enabled tablet. Just don't tell Schubert or he'll flip.
