Working on it, but half our works is a big hole in the ground right now and could take until late October for me to be able to move back in.
(don't worry, the big hole in the ground was planned...) |

@ fmg - given the distinction you draw, I would see tinkering as both a perfectly valid occupation in and of itself but also as the research stage of tweaking from which the appropriate tweak may be drawn and applied as appropriate. My feeling is that many of the cues that allow us to experience the content of the music rather than just the sound of the music, are very nearly subliminal and their reproduction very dependent on the phase coherence on which our esteemed host places such importance. As an aside, I have recently come across some interesting reading on particular tweaks and tweaking in general from Thorsten Loesch, whose opinions are always worth consideration (IMO), @ http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0602/freakazoid.htm @ Graham - excuses, excuses, get on wi' it man. |

Agreed! We learn in playing and sometimes "I wonder if that would work here" can open up a new line of development. That's a very good article and in sync with my thinking. Thanks tg.

I would stop short of many of the tweaks in the article but the spirit of experimentation comes through clearly. Another thread topic would be tweaks that didn't last very long, it's down to the Lac I fear! |

fmg - you have got the point of my referring that article - the general spirit of open minded experiment and the overall underlying philosophy. All too commonly people seem to read such articles, find the one thing with which they disagree and proceed to "throw the baby out with the bath water" and dismiss everything they have read. There are usually more colours than black in a packet of jelly beans and you don't have to eat the black ones if you don't like them. I/we digress - perhaps as you say, another topic.

Yes indeed tg! I have now looked at the response curves on this thread several times and am amazed at the extended range and smooth slopes, especially the smooth drop off Graham has achieved. This could well be the transparent hi-fi EQ I mentioned above, an EQ that can boost or cut a few dB without bringing some sort of distortion.
From the GSP gear I have and the information from fellow owners, I know the design principles are right and will be expertly executed with layout and selected components. This EQ module will be very good indeed and presumably is at the centre of the forthcoming Aria preamp. That is an audiophile treat to look forward to.
