Title: Audioquest Jitterbug USB Filter
Post by: christoffe on November 30, 2015, 11:40:49 am
Hi,

a surprising new experience for € 49,00.

Very, very dark background, amazing bass, very clean sound, less ambience.

Why oh Why

Do I, personally, always have difficulties in understanding the real message from you, Joachim. Look :

The only message as such I can derive from this, is that less ambience is a good thing.

Is that what you want to say ?
Please be clear ...

Peter

Hi Peter,

I think the criterions mentioned stands for themselves.

If you like a very accurate system the Jitterbug is something for you, if you prefer more ambience, it is not.

With the Jitterbug you are moving from row 25 to row 1 or 2.

I initially thought the Jitterbug meant less noise, but eventually (two or three weeks) came to the conclusion it removes some of the life of the music as well.  So out it came.

Ok Joachim, thank you for clarification.

But FYI ... your humor (haha) is difficult to follow - at least for me it is. Look what happens if you would write it like this :

Very, very dark background, amazing bass, very clean sound, and ... tada  ... less ambience.
So forget about it.

See ? the other items are just too positive to understand the last item in the same row. All I get from it (as how you wrote it) is that you seem to like "less ambience".
And this *does* exist ! (dry sound - super over-decorated room)

Anyway, clear now.
And nice of you to report about it.

Peter

Hi,

Ambience
(The aurally perceived impression of an acoustical space, such as the performing hall in which a recording was made)

comes prior to accuracy for me.

I've been using two Jitterbugs the last month: one on Clarixa usb cable and the other in empty mb usb 2 port. Clarixa is also on mb usb 2 port.

I'm with Joachim: much cleaner, natural sound, especially when using 8x sample rate and not 16.
