Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

Listening to A & B again just now -this time I started fresh with "B" first- and I find myself just getting bogged down in B's boringly plodding along, thinking when is this song going to start? Whereas by comparison with "A" the song pulls you in immediately on the first note & hits more of the rig...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

Went back and forth with A & C and I feel A is still the overall better performance. In other words with A I find myself simply enjoying the song as a whole, and with C I'm continually being directed to different individual characteristics of the song.

Hi, Europe/Austria, think the delivery costs will be too expensive. Thanks anyway.
Your welcome, but Yea, that's my thinking too, I'm sure someone more local to you will chime in.

Re: Linn Keilidh Versions

I recall at the shop many many years ago we replaced both Keltik & Keilidh tweeters with the newer ones that Linn sent us, after I installed/played them into our Aktiv Keltik demo system we all looked at each other and asked what we heard and we all shrugged our shoulders, perhaps they slowly burned...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

I just went thru all five, and as others mention 5 is a lot to compare. But I settled on No. 3, pretty quickly actually, it just shined in that way I like a little more than the others, the band was really on the mark. ...I liked No. 2 the least FWIW.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

(B) just sounds hot & overdriven now, so I pick (A), but saying that these both sound more out of tune than clip (A) did in your first A/B. So I can only assume that burning things in only made things worse.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

The immediate difference for me is that Track "A" is more in tune -musicians are more on the mark- than Track "B" is.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

Agree, both sound very nice and tuneful, but I'd have to give the nod to the Kans with their ability to greater get the listener more involved emotionally.

Always best to find at least 1 beam and use Hangar or Lag bolts.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

(A) for me too, (B) grabs you for a second thinking it's clearer sounding until you quickly realize that it's way out of tune by comparison to (A).

Re: Wall Shelf For Linn LP12 Turntable With Trampolin?

The long now discontinued -from the 90's- Target TT-1 was also a very good wall shelf, you can only get them used now, I once used one for many years under my LP12's. These days the Target name has been bought/acquired by some Canadian outfit and they make compromised junk IMO -very poor welds, heav...

Congrats Frederic, looks as though your little Supperkikkin offers up serious value to performance potential for those -like me- that only have one or two source inputs.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

Went back and forth a bunch of times on both 1A & 1B and there's something about the tune that bothers me a little on both, perhaps it's just the recording. But I feel the 1A is holding it all together just a touch better. Just did a little more back and forth on the 1A & 1B, so many preferring the...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

253 is more alive, crisp and in tune, I like it!

252 is kinda flat by comparison -seemingly slightly muffled- and the band isn't playing together as tight, overall less in tune.

Re: Linn 50th Anniversary

Thanks Tom. Could there be a way of fixing a new arm using the existing screw holes used by this new arm collar? Perhaps Linn would offer their 'special' 250 customers a special deal on a new arm. Better that than having to sell the Ekos SE and Keel in order to get a new super duper arm. From the p...

Re: Charlie1's System

I agree, at first listen the first clip started off great -really great- and then lost the tune when the band kicked in, second clip continues to hold it all together although with slightly less of that 80's glitter, give me the first clip sound with the overall tunefulness of the second..

Another that comes to mind for me just now -including Fast Car, classic track- is a song from Soul Coughing called Lazybones from their second studio album called Irresistible Bliss, 1996 that I sometimes listen to when I make a change, I was lucky to grab an original press back in the day.
