In Reply to: Re-thinking the system posted by Rick Gardner on November 27, 2000 at 11:25:11:
A couple of observations from not-so-foggy Corvallis this morning...Re the revisiting of room tweaks: I've removed my DIY room lenses after 600 hours of SACD-section burn-in on my 777. I no longer hear discernible differences with or without them when I play SACD's. Neither can my wife.
Re volume: I now listen at louder ("more realistic?") levels with SACD (my listening fare is classical and jazz). I'm enjoying it a lot more. And, like you, I hear no "shriek" or "buzzsaw," just greater timbral and dynamic accuracy.
It's the fun I got into audio for in the first place.
