Holger Stein visits Suncoast Audio

A question for Jim. Is there a psychological component to it? In other words, do you feel more relaxed with it on? Not a byproduct of the acoustics, but a additional advantage. What is the effect of turning up the control on the units? Thanks
 
I do have a question: how does a typical Stein Music setup look like, which components do you you need and why?

There has always been some that believe quartz can relieve stress and restore your sense of calm.

PLACED ON TOP of the Blue Sun Signature’s (listed above).

Of course you can go with less, I’m just trying to relay what I did in my rooms. The only thing I added was two more H2’s at the back of the room in the big room only.

You stick up with some tacky putty. Ideally black.

Hmm, I never thought of it as psychological, but as I think of it now, I think it does have some of that aspect.

For me it is a more relaxing, yet more involving musical experience. The reproduced sound is smoother in a good way - maybe not as super clinical (with recordings that lean that way).

If I were to name one thing that I especially value, it's the sense of Presence, especially on recordings that were closely mic'd. It can be quite literally as if the performers are in the room.

Re the level control, I don't remember much about it since it was so long ago that I settled on an acceptable level. IIRC, if turned up too high, things got bloated in their effect - not better, in other words.

Thank you for the detailed response. I am working on something similar. When I reached it's to much level the music was in my face. That should give the chicken bones guys something to laugh about. I just ran across this ad for a used set for anyone interested.
