thank you for all your input - really singing now that was where I couldnt get my head around ... are there more than 4 options? smooth side in - one direction (top) smooth side in - other direction (bottom) rough side in - one direction (top) rough side in - other direction (bottom) I think when I ...

good to have you guys and thank you for your help all is in right order smooth side in is Clip 2 the strange thing is when I sit in front of the system I am 95% sure its the other way around. If I hear the clips through my phone I also prefer the second clip. This is really confusing. here is the te...

;) cool second clip for me too
I think you cd player is doing a really good job while being a support for the LP12
... and even without the Ennemoser varnish and circuit boards on strings

here are two clips from my side - its about my LP12 belt is rough side inside sounding better or smooth side inside sounding better ... with my belt its very difficult to „see“ or „feel“ what the smooth side is even rubbing between your fingers or trying what feels more smooth on the lips or forehea...

how about Ennemoser C37 lacquer? ... I am not joking (not with this and also not with the strings)

you can put all your circuit boards on strings (which is usually used for fishing) I have even seen it for the transport

second clip this time :)

... and you are crazy

I was working again with my tonearm as I wanted to check if the bearings are o.k. What I did was balancing it to 0/floating with no tracking force. Than I used faint blowing from the side to see if it gets stuck somewhere. Movement was easy and seemed completely free. So I thought I should use a ver...

for me the second one sounded more forward and offensive - that made me also prefer the first one more Its good that there is also a feedback if none of the clips sound right because that might save one or the other to start a wrong path. for the power supplies: did you checked both Netgear and Friw...

Slipsik 7.1? I this a typo or again something learned with the Entity finding its way into the Slipsik?

hey Ron that was simply the best compliment you could do to the Entity - especially you ... known as diehard Audio Technika MM promoter ... impressive!

I am still with clip 2 ... so much that I even wanted to hear it again to xcheck but have struggle to access it

the treble should see the length most close to the 2.48m than go further to middle and bass

best is to not interrupt the cable

that usually makes an awkward shape of the wiring as the treble network is usually most upwards on the loudspeaker

... at least thats how Fredrik was soldering my cables

second clip for me

I have one of the old belts and and with my one its really difficult to see the difference between the rough and the more smooth side because the more rough side is already really smooth. I had to go in real sunlight to see which side was more smooth. To my surprise it sounded more musical to me whe...

thats interesting - I remember Charles Hansen from Ayre found really clear words for one of the more known reviewers at Stereophile when this guy was promoting MQA. It was a heated discussion in an open forum and some forum members wondered if Charles wanted to really risk the relation with newspape...

as I am having an Arkiv B and a Linto now I wonder if changing to a new Adikt paired with a Slipsik 7 would set me back in musicality ... hope someone can give insight/opinion

Hey David,
any news from you about the Entity? You seem to be the one who has it now running for the longest time.

thank you for all your comments. Yes one really needs to experience source first and never forget it. Yes Tom I also learned that you really need to have a structured approach. We tend to change things and than try the next and another without really being sure if one of the steps was for the better...

the question is really what you want to achieve. If your goal is to make digital as good as your analog than I am with Thomas ... thats going to be a challenge and expensive. I would rather spend the money into upgrading analog. All in all the most value for the money (if you really want to improve ...

did you use the Friwo with the right polarity at the plug which goes into the GS? I think the behavior you describe is when you used the plug in the wrong way

the => needs to meet the -

=> -

yes I saw but was not sure if he wanted trick us and 2 is coming out as Cisco ;)

order for me was
2 best
3 second best
1 not so good

margin between 2 and 3 was smaller than between 3 and 1

really hope the Netgear was 2

no this is a rough number - might be that 1.1meter is also sufficient but I remember reading an article from someone who was working in the digital signal transmission industry who got into audio later with his own business. he stated that digital signals create a reflection at the receiver and boun...

you for sure have tested it but are you really sure to put the Melco and the GS108 at different power rails sounds better?
do you use ethernet cables shorter than 1.2meters?
