A fun day at Jay’s

I think talking and sharing with others is the best part of this hobby.

I know I've certainly learned a lot from people such as Mike and my good friend who is a recording engineer.

Thanks to them I've learned so much more than had I kept a closed mind and enjoy the music more because of that.

Yes for me being involved with others that enjoy the hobby like we do is what makes it great!
 
No...we simply turned a wheel that only comes with the Chronosonic xvx and made the tweeter go back a couple of clicks. This particular mechanism is exclusive to the Chronosonic XVX.

I am watching part 2, how were you able to tame the tweeters? Did you adjust the Wilson crossovers inside the speakers?

We can’t give away our secrets or we won’t have a new career as speaker whispers’!

All kidding aside, we moved the tweeter back one step at a time until it was too much the other way and then went back to the perfect spot. This of course opens up another can of worms (time alignment), but the way it was when we arrived was not to our liking. Was that the speakers? The DAC? The amp? Who knows. But we felt adjusting it was crucial.

Fortunately it was a very easy adjustment that made a big and discernible difference!

True! My question is, how many people would have known to do that? How many would have spun their tails with new cables, trying a new DAC or something else? I remember when we were discussing it, changing DAC, cables, etc. was being discussed. After examining previous setup details, it was clear that this was the right decision and the simplest one - which ironically, is often the case.

With all speakers, minute movements affect noticeable changes but IMO, with Wilson's there are so many that you have to really take your time (which you did).

Great job BTW. I wasn't aware "BP" at Wilson was having any off spring.:coolyeah:

Best to all,

Bob
 
Would love to see New Mac compared to the vintage stuff , never seen the compare , many decades ago their amps were best of best level but Pre amps were Average , so to see the Pre amps are thought of being good today and amps thought of being avg is strange..!
