Hello!
It's been a while since I really thought about updating anything in the rig. In the last month or so, I have been noticing that my bass was a little too heavy and played around with the subwoofers' eq. That sparked my interest again and got me thinking about what change I should make next. To be honest, although moderately treated, the room is less than ideal and I hear vibrations from the projector screen unit, as well as the metal inside the gypsum construction. The thick curtain on the left window to the balcony helps, but obviously, that is a room issue. I said to myself about a year ago, until I move into my own house and fixing a dedicated room, there is no point taking this further here.
So what I am missing these days are a more 'natural' sound and soundstage depth. I am getting a lot of awesome detail and accuracy in the imaging/staging; the overall balance of the sound is good (especially after the last subwoofer fix), speakers disappear, and have quite a textured/tangible/rich sound. I am not getting the beryllium tweeter attack that I have heard on some Focal systems. Top end is pretty smooth, rarely do I get any sibilance.
Sometimes I feel like I am not getting coherence in the song; as in there are distinct and clear separations of instruments but it is not playing as one in some cases. Other times I find myself being deeply involved in the music and very satisfied with what I am hearing. I am attaching pictures so you all can see the rig, as well as a flow diagram below of components. Let me know what you guys think I should do.
Dedicated line from the electrical mains box ----> Furutech e-TP80E ----> Innuos Zen mk3 streamer (PC: Furutech S55n with fi50ncf) ---Sablon 2020 USB (evo coming tomorrow) ---> Holo Audio May KTE (PC: stock) --- Zenwave DSR XLR --> T+A PA 3100HV integrated (PC: Zenwave PCR 11) ---- Silversmith Fidelium ----> Focal Sopra 2 . I am also using 2x Velodyne dd12+ .
l'll also mention that I don't have much experience listening to great systems and hearing the next level. Most dealerships I go to and listen to more expensive gear, my system is just better to me. The distance from the back wall to the front woofers of the sopra: 110 cm/43 inches.
Let me know what you all think, any tips are more than welcome!
Cheers!
