I have definitely seen at least one other person with the ACN8s.

They are more energetic than the stock JRCs but only the JRCs seem to have the right balance of bass, mid and treble. So I use 2 of the LMEs with 1 JRC in the buffer. I would like to find an op-amp to replace the JRC, something with an increased mid and lowered treble which complements the LME's loud treble, but only if it's an improvement over the JRC. I don't know why everyone says the JRC is no good, it lacks a bit of detail but is a lot better than the 1057s in my opinion. |

Classical and ambient sound pretty good using just the LMEs but rock guitars are slightly too high-pitched with not a lot of "oomph". Cymbals are sometimes overpowering. |

It is not that the JRC's are bad, consider the stock specs of the STX. They are quite good but compared to others they leave a bit to be desired. Maybe a 2134 might be the ticket for the buffer for you. They have the laid back burr brown sound which is to say a glossy high range which tends to smooth over rougher signatures. It is really hard to give an exact recommendation as it would involve testing to get a perfect match for you and your gear. What type of speakers and cans are you using? |
