Post Subject: SU-1Posted by genesis168 on: 11/25/2007
Hi Romy, It's called "the itch". I was debating high and low before plunging for the Pass. I played around with the capacitance setting. I put it to ZERO and the sound lacked body. 100pf was a little better. Bass was tight but lacked absolute weight. Vocals were pure but lacked life. After living with it for close to 2 weeks. I found out that I was listening too much but not connected to the music which is when i switched back. It felt like a gush of fresh air. The SU-1 sound was back.. big, bold and wonderful.
I will take your advise and look for an EAR. See how it works out. I am a fan of transformers and this is by far the one of the best I have owned. What do you think about the Manley Stelhead? I have 2 arms ahd the Steelhead has switching capabilities which beats plugging and unplugging cabes. Will read up on your other threads.
Cheers,
