Oh Brother

So I just got my new NADC375DAC and had it hooked to my RTI A7s and was loving it. Go to work, get home, put on a Ray Charles Duet with Norah Jones, and from the left channel, her voice is scratchy. It happens subtly in parts where she is really belting it out. Her voice just breaks up a little and theres a little resonance, very unpleasing. Anyway I'm almost positive my brother over drove them while I was at work. Does this just warrant a simple tweeter replacement or could it be something else you guys can think of?

    Did all of these switches, even subbed in my old pair of tsi400s and her voice was crystal clear. Do you know what Polk charges for a tweeter?

    What works for me in avoiding these situations is that I give the wife a max setting on the volume dial to never go over unless I'm around. I usually give her a few db's less than what I really want her to stay under because I know it's natural to push the limits set on ones self.

    A lot has to do too with your gear and music. Lets face it, a lot of recording we like, maybe downloaded off an old cd/album have lots of distortion. Playing that distortion at higher volumes is the slayer of tweeters.
