Guys, Pls dont flame me ya, Im reviewing it base on my opinion.
For those who know me, im quite blur when it come to those technical stuff like reading what db and frequency.
I only know how to listen.
I have been seriously playing ice for about 2years now. lot of money spend and got to know a lot of nice people helping me how to spend those money. :)
Started playing passive then tried active and now back to passive. Why? Hate tuning, cos I can never get it right and need friend for help, but to often also…not nice la,…they also fed dup with me.
Then my dear friend offer to upgrade my x280 passive for free.
By adding two small capacitor. ( VISHAY MKP 1837 )
First impression, warm. Certain song the detail was missing.
The first for me to do is obviously play with amp gain.
Push the (tweeter-Esotar) gain to about 15%.
Was surprised it still sound pretty smooth, still easy to the ear.
But some other track didn’t perform pretty well especially those Chinese song form china recording tend to have more ajinomoto.
Second option, increase only 5% and reposition the tweeter, listen to for about 3hours. Nice….. Even though it didn’t have much improvement but it does change the characteristic of my tweeter.
The original passive already give out a pretty smooth sounding. But adding that capacitor, it got smoother.
I heard is quite affordable. So it should worth a try.
Like dat la…just to share my experience.
