Post Subject: The former faulty presentation and the rest sentimentsPosted by Romy the Cat on: 1/16/2011

I am looking back and my last 2 month frustrations with presentation width, with vertical midbass horns integrations,  with relatively aggressive sound bite, with somehow overly labored lateral imaging propagation prom Macondo and am realizing that it all was coming from faulty performing PP2000. With the new unit all problem just evaporated.

A year ago Macondo was able to play stunningly gentle. It was very soft sound rich with tonal and dynamic spice, there were no efforts to present the spice – the spice juts organically glow into the sound itself. The playback did not demonstrate any self-happiness for the accomplished results. It did render very complex things but did not called upon itself with demands to see how great it was.  That was in a way my signature accomplishment and I did cherish it a lot.

In the new room, the room itself 100 times better and with the same playback I somehow felt that in order to play ambition the playback need to showee, it need to enter into a “shocker mode”, frequently playing sentimentally cheap and in a way corny. This quality is something that I do not like. For instance the larger Wilson speakers  are full of it, they are like a heavily incredibly beautiful, heavily make- up call girl – it look nice and it demonstrate  a good performance but you do not feel that sense of special feeling on the morning. So, for some reason my playback in the new room sounded in the same way. It showed off some very imprecise results but with very non-personal and with very labor efforts. The labor was so hard that the labor itself attracted more attention then the core of event. I was asking myself what it come from as in the new room I have essentially the very same system.

Interesting that with the new repaired PP2000 I got my Sound back. Everything came back right the way, including the auditable realization that I am in much larger room now.  At this point I need to capitalize on what I have. I need to recalibrate Macondo to work from new electricity.  I would like to set it as it use to be set at my old place – at the threshold of being “interpretably dangers” ™ but never going overboard – that will be the final nails into my moving to a new place project.

I might wait for another two PP2000 units arrive, hopefully fixed and sounding as my recent one is. I do not know how 3 PP2000 will impact sound. When I have 3 units before I reported that I did not see a lot of difference between one and 3 regenerators. I wonder if it will be the case now, after the PP2000 are properly operating. I think it might be a difference...
