Hi guys, I have been using FDX1 for awhile now and going back to Solaris, I feel like the mids on JVC is not clean enough, like there is some debris stuck in the driver and I've checked the nozzle and there's none of that. I've been using the green filter (the full cotton filter) and it got me thinking if the cotton is hampering the sound coming from the driver and made them not as 'pure' as the white filter (zero cotton).
Now my question is this happen to anyone else? Or is it just me.
I experience something similiar too, but I can't really pinpoint the problem. On some tracks, there's no hint of it, but on certain songs it's very apparent. It sounds like some crackling / fine buzzing and I only hear it in the mids / lower mids. I thought it was driver distortion and at one point even tried to RMA it, but I wanted to make sure there was something wrong before doing that. What I think is happening is that the treble from poorly mastered tracks and especially compression artifacts from lossy files are rendered as a buzzing sound on these JVC's and it kind of creeps its way into the midrange making it sound dirty and distorted.
