Vinyl: The second John Handy Album:

Normally I muck around with bass controls but today I am playing with treble.

The vinyl has a lot of drum rolls. When I turned the treble from 0 to 4 all of a sudden I heard the drummer clicking his drum sticks together. It was not apparent he was doing this when treble set at 0. Tell me about treble. Am I overcoming issues with my room etc?

It's possible, do you have a lot of non reflective surface(carpet, drapes, curtains, etc...)?
 
Bill,

we sort of need a before and after ...

Have you listened to this before and suddenly its changed ?

If not, how does this pressing sound on one of the other 1/2 dozen tables I KNOW you have ? LOL

If your stylus clean ? Have you jarred it recently..

Do your other LP's sound better on 4 ? If so, there is your answer...not enough treble. LOL...I tend to have treble set at 4, bass at 6, scale of -10 to 10 (zero being flat of course)

Basically what I am asking is think to ANYTHING you have done between THEN and NOW, Try some other albums..Report Back...Over and out...:exciting:
 
Bill...hate to tell you..but as previous Elipsa owner. I don't consider the Elipsa as detailed speakers.

Now I hear way more detailed sound compare to Elipsa.

Oh...Don't forget the Tube amplifier. They are not detail as SS amp for sure and that issue relate to bass too.

Rob and Paul. no this is not a sudden change. I have inherited a vast record collection and this Jazz piece had a lot of drumming on it and I was playing and noticed excellent detail when I turned the treble higher Normally I do not mess with treble. I have spoke to others with Elipsas prior to purchase. I would imagine the detail is the same as Strads as I believe speakers have same tweeter

Paul: Correct me if I am wrong: You had the standard Elipsa, not the new SE right?

Bill,

It may be the album, it may be you needed more treble all along. I do have certain albums where I back off the bass to 4 (from 6) so my 4 treble and 6 bass are not cast in stone.

Like I said ..try some other albums..it may be prefect for that one but on others , 4 may be WAY too much...
 
Perhaps: But I am playing a pink floyd and the same is true. I turn up the treble and the triangles and clapping of drum sticks is clearly more evident.

Then my friend, you have answered your own question. Did the dealer tell you your speakers would sound better "flat" ? I have never been a FLAT or SOURCE DIRECT guy myself...Tune to DA room...LOL..and your ears...

It ISN'T more "clear" on high treble.

You're just increasing the volume on a selected portion of the spectrum and accentuating those sounds you wouldn't normally hear.

If a speaker or room is bad or not exactly to your liking in either absolute terms or on a particular recording, you can alter how it sounds with tone controls so it fits your preference.
