Post Subject: Macondo 3.0Posted by Romy the Cat on: 6/21/2023
I cannot imagine that I started to work on Macondo over 20 years ago. How are all this time the Macondo axioms coupled with Milq DSET proved to be quite accurate and constantly delivered quite good predictable results. Yes, it is a pain in the ass to maintain 14 channels. But if I discipline myself and once a month undergo my audio hygiene ceremony, when I verify that old channels are properly calibrated, that it is not a big deal.
There was one event two years ago, over the duration of a week or two, then passivly loaded Tannoy Red driven by VFet through a truly mind-boggling performance, in fact the best that I ever heard in Audio. That made me literally to trash Macondo and to go for exploration of the Dannoy options. One of the greatest discoveries of that project was that Red damped by Sunspeak passive suspension reduces olon over-exaggerated colors. However all my experiments to repeat this initial amazing result failed. I was able to get some interesting results but the dynamic limitations always kicked in and as with everything else, if you acknowledge it, then you cannot live with it.
So, starting from yesterday how to turn my Macondo and Milq back to my listening room. However to have just my Macondo/Milq tandem is not enough for me and I want some part of the Dannoy effect, predictably and fully controlled.
I would like to make Macondo to love me in the way how Dannoy did it 2 years ago. It was absolutely amazing combination of integrity and humility that my old Macondo was not able to deliver. I will cover in this thread the progression of my experiments.
