Yes, sometimes I see distortion in some of the graphs and I often wonder if surface vibrations are causing that. I use a neoprene backed mouse pad and a folded microfiber cloth to make sure desktop vibrations are kept at a minimum. I don't smooth my graphs either.
Oh yes, definitely check the seal. Pink noise is fine I think, it's just the additional length of time to measure means interference has more chances to occur. As it is your graphs are looking quite fine actually, considerably better than initially. Keep it up! Also, thanks for the volt measurements
Wouldn't call myself an expert haha, I've been lurking here for close to 10 years though and have gone around trying just about every demo unit in the country, so I guess you could say I've been around the block with personal audio
There are people with far more knowledge than me though and I'm always looking to learn more from everyone. Only recently made an account cause I got my mic and coupler and thought I could contribute some interesting graphs and impressions for some of the more exotic/less accessible stuff I happen across.
We won't even ask about his age but let's just say @cenizas is very, very precocious to have been lurking 10 years. The future is bright for the audiophile community!Wouldn't call myself an expert haha, I've been lurking here for close to 10 years though and have gone around trying just about every demo unit in the country, so I guess you could say I've been around the block with personal audio
Anyways, I did own a Spring 1 previously, from memory mids were similar tonally but more BA timbre on the Spring 1, the biggest factor for me selling the Spring 1 was the boomy bass and giant 8k spike, and overall coherence wasn't good, quite disjointed sounding, awesome resolution though. Haven't heard the Spring 2 but from the charts out there it seems they've increased pinna to a level similar to the A7 pop-gold, can't tell much else though, so no other comment. Here's the overlay with the Spring 1 if you're interested. And also overlays of the A7 pop-gold with the Spring 1 and Intime Sora Light. Piezo party!
Unfortunately man since the Tape Pro isn't part of the 11-11 sale it doesn't qualify for the lottery... they've got a lot of provisos that way.
Me as well, Probably a long wait for my LZ A7 to reach US but at $285 with an aftermarket cable (albeit not sure I'll use it) and as my order ended in "2" a $20 off future credit...I'm happy with the deal.
I’m about to make your day. First, DHL shipping is free for orders over $200 so you’ll get it probably 4 days or so after they ship it out. More importantly, your order ending in 1 means it will be refunded fully. Congrats on your free A7!
They've already told me that they are sending the code.
