Sasha 1 Resistor Change
I recently changed my resistors (last week). My dealer ordered Treble resistors with -1dB and Mid-range resistors with +0.5dB.
I was shocked at the increase in dynamics and now have a much nicer full mid-range sound. Really loving the change! |

But just remember, if you didn’t confirm it with a double-blind test, it didn’t really make a difference at all🤣.

Blind test is pretty tough to pull off with a resistor change! Takes a good 20min minimum to do it. I'm pretty confident that I heard it...

If you have lived with and listened to your system for enough time you are in the very best position to assess the impact on the sound of any given change. In fact the major drawback in my opinion about reviews is the inevitable parade of reviewer’s components varying in synergy coupled with the fact that human aural memory for very high sonic detail is fleeting at best. Replacing old resistors for new in the Sasha results in notable improvements in clarity, transparency, and timbre. But you need to be very familiar with the sound of the system with the old resistors to readily recognize the improvement with the new.

Any time that we do a dealer event or show, we replace resistors as a matter of course. That was Dave's practice and we have continued to do so. We replace all the resistors at once. (Rarely is there no difference. If there isn't one, we simply put the old resistors into the tool kit as spares.) It eliminates one variable when you are trying to create the most compelling demo you can for the public. |
