Hi Dave
Yes I am using with the RCA adapters from the original Blaxius cables. I think both of us did not really feel the original Blaxius made a noticeable difference in our systems. Well I am here to tell you that is not the case with the Blaxius ^2. I am not sure if you have the Lush ^2 as of yet but I am using them both together which I understand from Peter is very important.

My system sound has transformed so much with these that my guess is you will not recognize it from the last time you visited. I have addressed room resonance issues and will soon have dedicated tweeters installed.

The 3D experience Peter, then Ramesh and now me are speaking of is just unbelievable. My guess is after your next visit here you will be updating your connections. It must be getting boring to hear me say it again but it is the best my system has ever sounded. You heard it with the G3, then the Mach III. Now you hear it again with the Lush^2 and now the Blaxius ^. Trust me when I say the sound for sure is not boring.

Come up and hear the White Album. Bring extra underwear teasing

Hi guys,

I have been using the Blaxius ^2 since 2weeks & by now it’s pretty much broken in. The first reaction is the tightening of the lower end & significantly more clarity in upper mids & highs.

I must say that the SQ, in my set up, has seriously evolved over the past few months with the addition of the Mach III initially thereafter the Lush^2 & now the Blaxius^2.

Thank you so much Peter for relentlessly improving our music listening experience.

Best regards,

Arvind

Dear Arvind,

You are able to seriously keep up the suspense ! For you too counts that for at least a week I was urged to ask you whether everything is all right. But I guess people like you are realy serious about the breaking in and waiting for that to be sufficiently so.

heat
Yes, that is really how I feel some times. And for you too of course, counts that you are "fully on par" whatever that may mean to others, but for me it means that your judgment can easily overrule mine, us having the same system for all of its components. So who actually says that my own judgment and ears are right ?
you !

Thank you Arvind,
Peter

Hi Peter,

I prefer to comment once I’m sure that the SQ is consistent. Hence takes a while.

Incidentally I forgot to mention, in my earlier post, that after connecting the Blaxius ^2, I had to reduce the low frequency output of the Orelo by 1dB.

Best regards,

Arvind

Arvind,

I recognize the urge to do this, but it is not something I like to change. So I sought it in different settings.
Are you using the settings I gave (did I ?) or did you deviate from that and only then got that urge to lower the bass output ? (and now end up with an overall better)

I am just curious because I held on and now don't have the problem (urge) any more.

Could be interesting ...

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

From the original setting, given by you, I had to lower the bass output by 0.5dB, at the time I had the Mach II PC, Lush & Blaxius.

Now with the MachIII, Lush^2 & the Blaxius ^2, I was urged to reduce it further by 1dB (more so after the Blaxius ^2)

I find the bass overpowering & tends to subdue the mids & highs.

Currently my Q, SFS, etc settings are as per my signature, which are the same as yours.

Best regards,

Arvind

Ah, OK. Thank you Arvind.

Maybe it is so that you ever back upped the bass somewhat ?
And yeah, possible I lowered it myself way long ago. So I'm afraid my question will be moot.

Also, maybe it will change with some more breaking in of Blaxius^2. I have the sense the mid is more and more profound and the cymbals longer and longer (and this could overwhelm the bass again, so to speak).

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

No, the bass output is currently lower by 1.5dB from the original Orelo settings as shipped out by you.

I doubt if any more breaking in of the Blaxius ^2 is reqd but I do intend to move the listening position to see if I can come back to the original settings of the Orelo. Maybe this weekend.

 SFS & Q settings have not given the desired effect in the bass range. Hence I had to resort to reducing Orelo bass output eventually.

Best regards,

Arvind

It may come across as strange to you, but the solution should really be to find a better setting of the Blaxius^2.

And I myself should not forget that I am using the 10/20 processor, which really produces a different sound than your 14/28 (which latter - as you know - again produces an other sound when set to be a 10/20).

Since a few days I have another spare 14/28 again, so I could try it and spoil myself with it again ... scratching

Hi Peter,

Spent the weekend with a focus on reaching the original settings on the Orelo. Finally managed it with the following settings/changes.

SFS 80.19
Q1=30, xQ1=1
Moved the sweet spot back (away from the speakers) by 16”.

Some fine tuning still needed. Will attempt later this week.

Best regards,

Arvind
