In Reply to: RE: Can we retest /nopae (i.e. remove it) posted by cics on April 16, 2009 at 17:28:55
Hi Cics,
It took me a little D-tour, but now reading you’re post, I’m leaning too the same conclusion to remove it.
It now explains why my cMP setup sounded not okay after adding a dedicated linear power supply too power the P4 pin last Wednesday. After adding the linear PS too pin 4 the sound was like ‘on steroids’. Everything bigger and impressive but not something you want to live with.
First I blamed the simple linear power supply for that. It looks a bit like this one. Only with much better ripple specs ! (max 2,5 mV)
http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=310&EID=3075&txtModelID=234 ( I can’t show the actual linear PS I ordered because one cannot directly link into the dutch version of radio shack (www.conrad.nl) too show it .
Adding the b22 cplay version today bettered things a little. But the sound was still not okay.
Very detailed, but still ‘forward’ and ‘in you’re face’. Hi-Fi-isch if you like.
Reading you’re post this morning, I removed the /nopae and that did the trick.
Now everything sounds balanced (not forward and upfront anymore)
By the way: very very nice last version (b22) of cplay
Again there is more 3D, space and better treble without being forward and upfront.
LynxL22 dig i/o -> Lavry Black DA10 -> Mogami Gold -> Klein & Hummel O300
I agree, what was initially more transparency turned out to be too much over the top after a while.
nopae is out.
