Hi Peter,
You've done it the harshness in the high's have disappeared completely but I fear it may be a bit overdone; probably bordering on "laid back". I had to reduce Q1 from 14 to 5, switch to non invert & move the tweeters 2 mm forward. Mids are nice & warm & the bass as usual spectacular.

Hey Arvind,
So you really and ineed *are* tweaking the time alignment, right ?
Now, maybe -just because you can precisely, did not buy such a "mechanism" without a reason and all- you can have a better judgement on this "phenomenon" besides our guessing. So, as I told a previous time, quite some amongst us "hear" that when SQ changes, this is often about phase stuff. But, I don't do anything explicitly about that, and while everything keeps on being "bit perfect" always (but don't upsample etc.) something must be changing in the phase area at least.
If the phase changes not linearly (hence more in the higher regions than in the lower) this is just important "knowledge". And remember, this is -so far- all empirical findings.
I don't ask you to sit down and listen for this explicitly etc., but you may start to learn judging it for more real merits;
I too can move the tweeter opposed to the rest, but after some initial physical measuring (starting at the coils) I never touch it ...
If I should, well, a. I wouldn't like that, b. others are not able to, but c. once we know how/when the phyisical alignment matches the best outcome (for SQ) it is something to strive for. Not that I know how to control that (what to do in order to move to which direction), but that may be a matter of "learning".
For others (background) : This is not an easy thing at all, and it is, for instance, related to the volume of bass vs. the rest which should have a fixed relation to the design of the XOver. IOW, it is illegal to change the "volume" of either, or the XOver is destroyed for its slopes. This is a typicle example of something which is *not* under my control, because although the XOver has been carefully designed, afterwards I tweak(ed) (volume relation) it for the best sound. Where this is one dimension, moving the bass vs the rest for time alignment is just another.
All IOW, we may never be able to get there for best XX output because nobody may have the absolute time alignment (and volume relation) in the first place, but if there is something to learn here, I'm all ears.
Thanks,
Peter

Well I thought this story of timealignment was far behind us, but if 2mm makes a difference I'll have to find my saw..
For the sound of Y3, it is completely dead (or just slow) like somebody put a blanket over it.
The previous version was lacking some warmth,the highs strong but listenable with my softdome's and tubes.
For listening I'll have to go back to X-xx, because there is nothing to enjoy in the music now. What was the best sounding version?
I hate to say this because the rest looks perfect to me.

My initial impressions are that 0.9y-3 has had some life sucked out of the percussion compared to 0.9-2a. Cymbals, triangles, cowbells etc. seem to have lost some of that "metallic ring" I had grown accustomed to since the start of the 'Y' versions.
I have a couple of pieces of music I use as reference that have very simple percussive content, and I've gone back and forth between these last two versions many times this evening, and discounting Mr Placebo, I still prefer the dynamics and excitement that 0.9y-2a brings.
On a more positive note, the gallery issues all seem to resolved ... B.B. King etc. have now joined the rest of the ensemble.
Will continue with more comparisons tomorrow.
Cheers,
Russ

Hi GerardA, I noticed your signature indicates you use Q2,3,4,5 settings of all 15's. If they are still current, may I suggest you try 30,30,0,0 and see if the "blanket" is removed. One thing I discovered early on when the later Q settings were implemented, that if you had the first couple at max ( ie. 30 ) you DO NOT want to move the Q4 & 5 at all. Doing so will suck life and dynamics from the music. Give that a try, especially with 0.9y-2a Cheers, Russ |

You never ever satisfied guys  might try to use XXHighEnd.exe from 0.9y-2a on the 0.9y-3 version of XXEngine3. So : Stuff the latest XXEngine3.exe (from 0.9y-3) over your old 0.9y-2a folder, use Unattended and let me know what happens. We all know it really is XXEngine3 producing the sound. Right ? Now, let's see ... |

Thanks Russ, the blanket has gone!
So I guess I have to find new settings for the Q's, any more clues?
Was this a difference between X and Y or because I did some upgrades?
Because with X I likes my settings...

hmm
I tried power cord changes the same time I went to y3 and thought the power cord stuff was the difference I was hearing... was going to go back to old powercord arraignment today to see but??? I didn't start play with phase button last night and maybe should have... I can move all three top modules of my speaker,,, ack but thought that was set right a long ass time ago. Maybe I should try some new Q stuff too. Also, I went from y-1d to y3 ... I liked y-1d a lot... just wasn't sure about y3 yet... I'll try to put some work into it later. Can I stuff the exe from y-1d in? or are there no SQ changes from y-1d to y-2a. Glad you're getting a good laugh outta this Pete heheh Anyway, I'm not sure yet about anything because I haven't gone back and forth... mainly fell asleep listening to music late last night... so will have to pay attention today.

Thanks Russ, the blanket has gone!
So I guess I have to find new settings for the Q's, any more clues?
Was this a difference between X and Y or because I did some upgrades?
Because with X I likes my settings...
I'm going to try moving Q1 from 4 to lower numbers and see how that goes... I still have Q2 Q3 at 26 ... maybe I'll try going up higher again today. |

4/0/0/0/0 always sounds the most right to me. |

Correction:
I'am sorry too say,
But it sounds too laidback IMO.
Misssing that sparkle in the hights. (little boring and too easy)
Low and mids are still good
The background of the soundstage is too quiet
But people give it some time before jumping to conclussions (still beta testing here)
Sometimes its good to listen to something thats is not OK
So I'll stick to this version for a couple of days, will see!
