Hi all,
I have a pair headphones that unfortunately got zapped by a very decent spike of DC voltage from a certain valve headphone amp, which caused a very loud 'PoP' sound. I ran a tone sweep and don't detect any distortion, and also no channel imbalance, But i do subjectively feel that the tonal balance has tilted to a overly bright/brittle side, i.e the bass output has relatively diminished and highs have more glare and sibliance to them.
Is this possible technically as a consequence of DCV shock with seemingly no other negetive signs as mentioned previously?
Thanks you for your thoughts.
