Well Richard ...
You are most certainly right that this brings a h*ll of a change.
I think you will recall how my sound is; say about the "so clear !". Now envision that with your found application there's indeed this larger stage, up to being in a church somewhere. Would that imply better clarity ? I don't think so. Could it be messy because of all the hall ? I think it can.
This is what happens over here and it lasted about 45 minutes + 10 to die out.
Haha, the latter is no yoke because it seems indeed to be so that there's this after-effect. It was good that we were warned for it or otherwise I maybe wouldn't have known where to go. Anyway, I'd say that after one minute or so of pulling out the Intona, the effect started to diminish and after about 10 minutes I was completely happy again.
Explanation :
Without being able to see any of this (I did not attempt that either), it looks like something in the OS is trying to do something with that actually failing USB connection. Even at the hardware level something of that could be going on, but I think software because of the dying out nature. Thus, some process of "investigation" is started by the OS, which stabilizes because continuously no answer (while the Intona still always talks back, but with a dissatisfying answer) and this process keeps on running when the Intona is pulled out, but now once in a while looks if something is going on again, doing that less and less until all is sure that nothing will come of it any more.
Btw, I made up this scenario already after your first post about this, again saying that I believe all you people find out and tell about.
Judging the proper merit is often difficult because also personal (or better : it is difficult to take distance from personal / subjective ideas about it all) and already my "urge" to make judgements "general" for you all (try to read that I claim to be objective - hahaha) could indicate that your opposite judgement is the dangerous one. But an example which could be part of the guidelines :
When she is in a good mood she plays like hell and creates a sound stage larger than my living room.
If this was figurative then I say nothing. But if it was intended to be literal then your guideline should be that such a thing is impossible. And if it happens anyway, some "DSP" is doing it to you. Of course no real DSP in this case, but something with the effect of making all larger up to illegally large. For myself I could say : when I'd have instruments outside of the walls of my listening room, I would soon be ready for hospitalization or wear such dark sunglasses that I can not see the walls of my room.
Of course you spoke figuratively and I only wanted to give an example of failure.
Many people in here know about the examples of listening rooms which start to sound like churches, and almost always this is about the spread of energy which is the opposite of accuracy. So, the "so clear !" springs from accuracy and pinpointed bells and twinkles and things. Spread that bell and you will be in church but the bell becomes a mastodont.
Lastly, this is of course how it expresses over here. I am per se not saying that in your situation it happens the same because, for example, first something else may have narrowed the sound stage and this now could balance out nicely. Still, keep in touch with it and don't hesitate to come back with the announcement that it did not work out after all. Or, that in a month's of time you are still super happy.
And again : thanks !!
Kind regards,
Peter
