Compression...

I said before I enjoyed the TAG more with classical music, but the Krell is better with everything else...

Well, the other day I remembered that the Krell has 3 compression settings: MAX, no compression, Normal and Night, high compression for when you dont want to bother your neighbours...

So I tried Normal with classical music and, voila, more coherence, more like live concerts...

Interesting, what do you think...

 

Very strange. Shouldn't happen like that!

What Krell is this you're talking about? And what compression setting did you use on the TAG?

Dunc

 

I am talking about processors, the TAG only had Normal and Night...

 

Antonio,

I trust you are talking about listening in PL2, in which case it just goes to show doesn't it

 

Merlin,

I dont understand what you mean...

But I am not talking about surround versus stereo, it does the same either way...

 

Odd Antonio. The compression circuitry is a standard feature of dolby digital processing. It certainly should not be affecting any other form of playback.

I cannot believe that Krell would offer a compression circuit for standard two channel, kind of goes against the grain when it comes to hifi don't you think.

 

I did think so too, but apparently was wrong, without compression the Krell sounds very dynamic, and I now realise classical music works better with a little compression, at least more to my taste...
