So I've been increasingly irritated by the single ear sound of certain albumns when wearing headphones - more over the sound often appears slightly behind (or at least at the lower back of my head) - these same tracks sound fantastic through speakers with large sound stages.
Then I stumbled across Jan Meier's crossfeed - and read with interest how speakers fail to reproduce spacial keys that speakers accomplish ... and then jumped back here and find "the lovely Mike" has a no-nonsense version for building in his DIY section.
So .. before I jump in and try - a couple of noob questions!
may help :-
I assume Mike's version www.rock-grotto.co.uk/x-feed.htm is connected before the headamp ... or rather between my tape loop out and my X-CAN V3 - Doh! where else could it go??
Has anyone tried one - can they let me know what to expect sound-wize!
Can anyone point me to where to buy those enclosures! (Though an altoid tin would be nice.
If I go to maplins can i expect to buy most of the components? Or will i need to buy form RS Components etc.
I have the X-CAN V3 and Grado 325i if that makes a difference
Set up is as follows
FLAC > Squeezebox 3> coaxial > X-DAC V3 > X-10 V3 > Roksan M-Series 1 Integrated > Tape Loop Out > X- CAN V3
or
CD63 KI Sig> optical > X-DAC V3 > X-10 V3 > Roksan M-Series 1 Integrated > Tape Loop Out > X- CAN V3
I don't continue the tape loop on from my headamp so I am not worried on tht front .. though I assume the bypass switch would solve that anyway if I wanted to record to tape!
