Tír Na HiFi

long time no listen to nopgomemcpy. very vibration heavy. not my cup of tea.

soundstage is hard. everything changes it. i think XA's best soundstage is in japanese pop music- especially those in in 80s and 90s. extremely well-tuned for japanese recordings. maybe coz XA uses STAX headphones for testing. also japanese made.

very hard, even. have 2 days for adjusting, but did'nt successfully with already better vibration version. found out new method for loop and think successfully made adjustment with soundstage.

uploaded v2.38.1 256 , improved vibration, included almost good things of v2.36.1 (even better). musical notes are correct (try with piano) and you will feel its sound youthful emotion with energy but in elegant style. im very prefer this version. try it and enjoy.

2.38.1 (with ramdisk)
-another better version for piano! best clarity. however, musical notes need more sharp finishing. finishing is too mellow. everything else is quite perfect.
-yet more vibration! yet more airy. yet the sound melt in the heart!
-vocal is great, is it too mellow or too dreamy? like angel singing in dreams.
-most musical version! most smooth.
-tune sounds better. think it can be more positive like 2.36x.

thx

2.38.1 (with ramdisk) is definitely most dreamy version. almost unreal. smooth. airy. great echo. very very good for listening.

i had always been testing ramdisk

now testing 2.38.1 without ramdisk. the tune is great. no longer too mellow. very very good! piano sharp and clear. best. maybe 0.5% more weight than norm. or maybe bright. not sure.

am surprise ramdisk has such an addon mellow/dreamy effect. also added echo effect.

actually prefer soundstage of ramdisk+2.38.1. just more correct + more musical! non-tiring.

2.38.1 very good vibes. RAMdisk gone.

without ramdisk, i start to hear problems with stage on 2.38.1!!

hmm... i love 2.36.3.
also love 2.38.1+ramdisk.
one is real. one is dreamy.

tough love

2.38.1 Very clear - excellent micro detail. RAMdisk smears.

2.36.3 has good stage.
2.38.1+ramdisk has great stage.
2.38.1 stage not always correct.

think bass vibration is good here, that when system good tweaked bass vibration have priority, all things has become mellow, then sound weight also become reduced (drum not heavy, more "mellow" too), but stage expanded (more height).
there's computer audio, not stabilization. sometime i feel my laptop give very good sound, full resonance, sometime very bad, hehe...
