Sound Improvement!
Hi Guys
I have finally wired up my dual mono Chipamp kit. The amplifier has two 300va 25-25v transformers. I am very impressed with the high frequency detail, but a little disappointed with mid range depth/warmth. My music is currently being fed from my laptop until I build a buffer/preamp. Can any one suggest a tweak? Thanks Trip |

Only a couple of hours... I understand from reading various posts, components require a period of 'running in'. I don't disbelieve this theory as I have no comparable evidence, but I think ones ears can become accustomed to the sound. Time will tell! Trip |

Your laptop may have a utility provided by the integrated sound card manufacturer.
You may be able to find this through Control Panel\Sounds or you may see a dedicated snap-in in Control Panel like 'Sigma Tel Audio'. If you poke around in this you may find some tone controls, or more likely an option to select the type of speakers attached. w |

Wait a while, check out the source, and don't tweak anything till you are really sure about the sound!

IMHO: A computer may not be the best source for serious listening. One could believe that the soundcard is not of the best standard. And you therefore really is hearing the computer - not the chipamp.
And if you are listening to mp3s or some radio station, then I suggest you find another source. Well - just some stray thoughts
