I know there's a few of us who have used either or both, I have some questions.

- Track 8 "Fever" of Chesky 10 - There is some really low sound/information on there. Does anyone know what it is or whats is supposed to be? My home reference system doesn't have the very low end that my IB 18" in the car does hence I don't have anything to compare by. This is a very low(freq) sound and kinda undefinable... by feel/ear, but is certainly there. Im either not reproducing it well enough or I'm not learned enough to pick out what instrument/sound it is.
I didn't get a chance to listen to this track at Len Wallis so I'm a little dumb found to exactly what low stuff is. It's not a drum/percussion, but something with body/sustain, so don't know if its a reverberation of the bass body or what.

Just had a listen in the car and I get finger clicks to the left, percusion at the back in centre with vocals and piano right in front and a double bass near the back and to the right.

I reckon it's the double bass because there's nothing else down low there happening.

And I don't appear to have spectral balance issues in using an HX-D2 at various volumes. Most action is between -25db and -8dB.

Thanks Winno,
Yeah, I've had a few seasoned ears have a listen and they all agree there's definitely something very low down there.
Its so low it actually shakes my car and feels like a strong wind is buffeting the car... gotta love the down low responce of an 18".

Maybe it would be reasonable to assume that it is an acoustic artifact of the venue?

hmm, no point in assuming really, until I can hear it or reproduce it on another reference* like system I will just accept it on face value.
But thank you for your input non the less.

*EG Len Wallis's reference room etc.

do you have a subsonic filter in the sub amp mate? if you do give that a go and see if the vibrations go away.

cheers george, unfortunately I don't and don't think I would use it either. Now that I know it is there I would like to keep it. Good idea though!
