Agree. The more messages in this topic, the stronger the desire to do something with the sound. :smile: it's captivating. Although Zen sig stack sounds very good in stock. After Xonar essence st and some Topping models, turning on Zen sig seemed to take the cotton out of my ears. Zen sounded...

Just for fun, I measured the removed capacitor and the new one. The new one has a value greater than 1000 :slight_smile:

There were two 560 and 330 uf. There is a difference in sound, but it is minimal, I would like more. I still can’t wait for ELNA Silmic to arrive to replace the c410, maybe it will be better then? You probably shouldn’t change OS CON to 1000 uf, although you can try, because everyone’s hearing...

As Thorsten Loesch wrote, Os-Con is used for power supplies. I hope I understood correctly.

Thanks to Thorsten Loesch and Sunjam. You lured me into soldering, even though I have no experience, but there was a result, it was interesting :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile: I replaced c201 c101 c321 and c410 with 6SEP820M. ELNA Silmic is coming, I'll put it on c410. I won’t touch c411 and OPA...

As an experiment, I connected Zen can :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile:

Can you recommend which ones? :slight_smile:

Has the sound changed overall? 😀

From 2:21, oh, how unpleasant it is to listen to the violin, it puts pressure on the ears. I liked the sound of the bass guitar :smile_phones:

My hearing is too sensitive to high frequencies, if you remember. On Venus, this passage sounded very pleasant, powerful, there was a slight vibration of the ears from the bass, there was no hint of blood from the ears. :smile_phones: This concert was recorded simply superbly. This soundtrack...

New firmware 7.5 has been released, does it affect the sound?

In the end, Venus remains a goddess)))

Venus can be bright and blinding at high frequencies. She can also be a calm goddess. Now I’m listening to my beloved and beautiful Alizee ❤️❤️ The sound of the concert was recorded pleasantly, there are no too high frequencies. The sound stage on Venus is simply amazing, it is vast 🙂

Truly an amazing studio recording, I can’t stop listening to it. Venus sounds great, sparkling a little blindingly :) If you find recordings with great sound, don't forget to publish them. :smile_phones:

Indeed, in the third minute, this magic scared me, it sounds natural. :relaxed: Here are some more beautiful magic bells. Vangelis Alpha. I have sensitive ears to high frequencies (bells), but here the recordings sound pleasant, strange magic perhaps. :beyersmile:

Music suits these headphones)))

Venus, with its three-dimensional scene and sound resolution, made me completely re-listen to the songs of my youth. They seem like simple songs, but the way they sound on Venus is amazing. Amazing effect, it’s not even possible to describe it, wow scene. :o2smile:

Hi Eric. It seemed to me that the recording was done better here. Better surround sound and resolution. Although the vocals are a little better on your link. Listen please. :)

Hi Eric. I'm now hooked on binaural recording. Venus reproduces the sound very naturally, as if in my room, her voice came to life and the rustling of objects. :smile: :smile:

Now I have Venus. I managed to listen to Hifiman edition xs. These headphones are about the same. But I liked the detail and sound stage on Venus more. For me, in terms of sound, detail and sound stage come first. Perhaps Hifiman is a little darker in sound, a little more bassy. And Venus sounds...

Perhaps we have such hearing... :slight_frown: Maybe when we get older, we won’t hear these high-frequency peaks. I am 38 years old. I remembered the video :smile::smile:

Hi. Thank you very much for your comparison. It was interesting to read. I remember when I first heard Venus, the first thing that struck me was the resolution, detail and sound stage. But I would like a little less high frequencies at the peaks, where the music is recorded with very high...

In appearance, Venus is richer. We are looking forward to the sound comparison😀

By the way, I want to note how Venus sounds on fast dance music. The resolution and scene are also amazing. At 2:18 it became scary, the effect was as if someone had sneaked up and touched me for real. I was alone in the room. The sound is realistic and alive.:smile::smile::smile:

Thanks a lot. It was interesting to read your review :)
