Are any of you using the Taboo Mk III with loudspeakers? On the Taboo catalog page, in the paragraphs titled ORIGINAL LUCID MODE and NEW LUCID MODE we read:
ORIGINAL LUCID MODE "… the original lucid mode was developed for loudspeakers in the 4 to 8 ohm range. The effects of lucid mode change with impedance so when heard on 50 ohm headphones the imaging gets much tighter with a strong center image out in front of the listener rather than inside his or her head. This is a very pleasant way to listen when you're in a non-invasive mood."
NEW LUCID MODE "With the NEW Taboo MKIII we've kept original lucid mode unchanged and fully in tact. But then we developed a second lucid mode targeted at the 50 ohm range of headphones like the LCD-2 that would in harmony with the first. Since the first lucid mode is almost like listening in mono, the second becomes a dynamic expander that explodes the size, width, depth, and scale of the music making it instantly engrossing. When both modes are used together, the amount of detail retrieval from your recordings is simply unbelievable. In fact, we should have called it the "wow" switch because that's what everyone says when they hear it."
I am wondering about this "the second circuit becomes a dynamic expander that explodes the size, width, depth, and scale of the music making it instantly engrossing. When both modes are used together, the amount of detail retrieval from your recordings is simply unbelievable" Do you get this effect when using loudspeakers with their much less impedance than phones? Have you tried an extra high impedance loudspeaker; either one of the old 200 Ohm from the 1950s or else something modern with multiple drivers wired in series?
