A touch of brightness

[Womaz]

Ok an update.
I am now fairly convinced this is my hearing now. I have experimented all morning , using the 200 with the PMCs. Then I tried the headphone amp with the headphones. This was less bright for sure but it was still there.
Then I took the Devialet out of the playback all together and switched to my Sony High res portable.......guess what the brightness was still there.

PMCs were the brightest so no doubt this is the room......the Auralic HP amp was the least bright sounding. I could hear this straight away.

So after all this it looks like there is very little I can do about this, other than listen at lower volumes, and I know I wont do this.
Saves cash on a rug though ;-)

I am going to do a little experimenting with the treble turned down by say -5 on the 200 and see how that sounds. From my memory I did not like this though as it lost a bit of detail and dynamics.
I have a day off so nothing better to do ;-)
