Hi,

a surprising new experience for € 49,00.

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

Hi Peter,

MinOs works quite well. No. of process are down from >50 to 29.

Joachim

Hi,
correct, we all have different systems and personnel preferences ....... .

First another item, the sound in my room is "lightyears" away from the sound of  a live concert. (I was in a “rock performance” last Saturday)

At present I’m playing music with W10-10240  - I know =he, he, he - , XXH 2.02 on a RAM disc and an external MinOS program.  Listen to this SQ is a pleasure for many hours (without any fatigue) , even with higher SPLs. Voices and instruments are in acoustical size near to live impressions. (voices are a tad to big)

Started listening with 10586.0, XXH 2.03 in MinOs with my common records last night.

The sound hearing is from the listening position of the mastering engineer. More details, less timbre, very analytical, depth of the room image is very small. Voices and instruments are in acoustical size to small. After a couple of minutes I had to decrease the SPL to 65dB(A).
What I’m missing here is the acoustical size (reverberation)  of  the instruments and voices. This combination (OS + XXH) seems to be .......... .

Maybe I have to start the fight with the installation of 10074. My main problem is, that I shut down the PC every night.

Joachim

Hi,

voices are the true/real challenge of a system, and Adele sounds not bad here. All voices on my system are a real pleasure. As I wrote before, amplification matters.

Joachim

Hi,

since the beginning with W10 (August) the setting of Q5 = 2 here, and the SQ is great
But, every system is different.

Joachim

Hi,

from my experience amplification (power amp) has a major impact.

Joachim

Hi,

read this morning, that MS withdraw Build 1511 (10586.3), and therefore build 10586.0 is available only.

Joachim

Hi Peter,

listen to this song & you will hear differences immediately, and you stop testing with the present OS installed, because you will not like the SQ.

David Crosby - Time I have.

Hi Peter,

I missed your post, and I'm not the only one. http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=3371.msg36395#msg36395

I'm testing the releases under same conditions always. There is a track with voices and percussions from David Crosby - Time I have.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HV1JYJE/ref=dm_ws_tlw_trk2

The timbre (with XXH 2.02/10240) of David Crosby's voice sounds beautiful and there is an amazing reverberation of a percussion instrument in the beginning of the track. With 10240 it sounds great, with 10586 it sounds dead and with 10565 the SQ improved and but was nonmusical.

With XXH 2.03 under 10565 timbre and reverberation improved, but not as nice as with 10240 (maybe there is a little bit too much of smearing). I wrote before, the loudness/amplification of the drums are very realistic under 10240, but with the other W10 releases not. We are going to a jazz club tonight and i will listen to the "loudness balance" of the instruments. (I wrote a note about the "loudness balance" after a Ron Carter concert)

On the working PC I got release 10586.11 via the automatic update. A week before I downloaded 10586.3 as an iso file for the "working" and "audio" PC.
We might start with a 10586 test again. Release no??

Joachim

Hi
NO, it is not messy. You wrote (with a picture) in the manual for 2.02 about "Stop Windows Updates" and i did forget, and my former advise here is not correct. This button is new and my speculation/assumption was wrong. So, nothing to worry about.

Joachim

Hi,

that  is me, not you 

Question: Stop W10 Services is what for? No tool tip appears.

 

   so we are not talking about preventing W10 updates. 

Joachim

in XXH you press the "S" button on the upper right side, than see compartment "Services and OSD"

Joachim

Hi,

from my experience the updates are starting as soon as your are connected with the internet. I downloaded the 3.5 only and during that short time span 3 updates have been installed.

Joachim

Hi,

I never used Xtweaks, because I didn't find the right settings, whatever selected.

The "problem" is, that I want to lower the CPU speed, which is not possible via the BIOS, so I use the "Power options" with a set to 60%, which works fine here.

With XTweaks the CPU speed will ........... ? I Think not, or?
