Dear All
Don't know if it is my system or if there is a problem with 12.2.10.
I've been adjusting my tonearm (VTA and TF) and so have been playing the same album over and over.
With the new software I've felt that the 'hiss' on a 0.3mV setting has been quieter than with 12.2.6.
However, I've felt that vinyl has been a bit dull and recessed and lacking a bit of life. Also I've felt that the bass has been weaker and lacking definition/slam.
Over Easter I've put this down to my tonearm tweaking but I've not been able to get back to where I thought I was before.
So last night I went back to 12.2.6. I'm positive the hiss was slightly louder and grainier. As soon as I heard the familiar track it was clear that it sounded bigger and more dynamic and the characteristic punch in the bass was there.
Wonder what is going on? Maybe I didn't install 12.2.10 properly in the first place?
I'll try digital sources tonight.
