Recommended binding posts, Linn knekt banana

Hello, I have a pair of old Yamaha NS-1000 monitors at work, connected to some old Linn equipment (LK100 and a Wakonda). The binding posts are horrendous, see picture:[attachment]NS1000.png[/attachment] If I would make a new binding post plate and use it together with split K400, terminated with Lin...

maybe again Fredrik finds a joker card to play ;) This time I'm afraid I don't have any Jokers. Why would you need a Joker? As I said earlier, Sagatun really excelled in the Labend clip. It's so obvious in the section from 1.31 where the middle parts are all blurred in the Naim. I think the other c...

Re: Hermanns System

That is indeed very interesting. Since I was not familiar of any of theses tracks before, I just checked them out on my own setup from Spoitfy. Tracks 1 and 3 are actually way more electronic and loudness pushed in the mix than I thought when hearing your mobile recordings. The setup on clip 2 excel...

Re: Hermanns System

This was close.
Malia, I'm leaning towards 1 in both clips. Sound is more impressive in 2 but more to the point in 1.
Labend, I prefer 2. It's quite obvious in the middle of the clip where 1 becomes blurred in the middle parts.
Grand, prefer 1. The singer is oddly more out of tune (intonation) in 2.

Re: Streaming service

After comparing Spotify with Qobuz for the last month - I have now cancelled my Qobuz subscription. Spotify is so much more musical that at times Qobuz now seems flat and quite boring. I was initially going to keep both so to have a bigger choice of music but after three weeks of Spotify I am strug...

Re: Cheap power strips for best sound.

Indeed great work ThomasOK. For me, the biggest revelation is that such small differences in power supply are audible through smartphone recordings of a well tuned HIFI-setup.

Re: Recommended control points

It seems that when we evaluated combinations by just listening for the most musical result, we ended up with values that make the modem circuits work in a relaxed and fluid way. It seems you're on to something really special here and maybe are discovering "des Pudels kern" in streaming music. Somet...

ThomasOK,
I loved this slightly odd excerpt. I actually preferred clip C. For me it becomes clear when the groove starts around 32s.

Re: Linn Klimax DSM Organik, impressions

Hearing acoustical instruments perform live incorporates the same effect. Higher frequencies travels faster. In fact, a good symphony orchestra compensates this effect to a certain degree by having the double basses being slightly "pushy" in there playing. The same in a jazz quartet, with the bass ...

Re: Källa overview

The AirPlay protocol is very different. The AirPlay server offers the ability to receive and play an AirPlay stream. An AirPlay client has a stream that it wants to send, in order for it to be played on an AirPlay server. An iPhone is an AirPlay client and Källa looks to it like an AirPlay server. ...
