Not being an audiophile, is the problem here the speaker, or is it what the speaker is attempting to play?
Obviously good sound can be had out of tiny speakers, but are the sound "files" (however they are done) that Heng Long uses simply junk in terms of the quality in the first place?
Obviously it could be one, the other, or both, but every time I see a speaker thread, I wonder if the HL audio will ever sound "good"...
I know some people have replaced the speaker and said it was an improvement, I'm not sure I've seen anyone who has said it was as it should be.
Not trying to dampen anyones enthusiasm, I just have little income I can expend on stuff like this, so if there is a way to make it sound better, I'd like to know. I can't afford to buy things just to try them out.
Good question.
From what I gather, most of the complaints seem tosurround people seeking more realistic sounds rather than a dislike for the sound quality in general...at least in the newer boards. I want my speaker to drown out the grinding soundof my metal motors. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard. More bass would be lovely as well. My hope is to amplify the sounds coming from the built in amplifier in the HL board. Someone with and audio/circuitry background could probably do this for a few cents/dollars by modifying the board with new semiconductors and variable resistors, but I just don't have that knowledge. So, the only route is to purchase a speaker set with a built in amplifier.
