Tune Dem of Valve Amps?
I've had some spare time recently (as you have probably realized by all my posts!), so decided to listen to a Single Ended Triode Valve amp for the first time. I often read Hi-Fi World who are big fans of valve amps, especially SETs, so I thought it was time to hear one for myself. The amp was a Aud...
Thanks Ceilidh - I'm glad it's working out. I'm still a bit stunned the difference it's made, although I probably had my Ninka's in about the worst position possible! One question for all forum members - since Tune Deming the Ninka's, music is now much more involving and tuneful and the hi-fi is muc...

Thanks for the feedback bbtye - very useful. I wanted to buy the HD650s online because the savings are considerable (nearly 50% off retail), but I didn't want to listen in a shop knowing full well I wasn't going to buy from their store. I was confident my father-in-law would buy the Senn's for close...
Thanks Azazello. Had another go late last night with unfamiliar music and was able to fine tune even furthur. I also found it easier to use the suggestion that you are auditioning for a new musician (thanks to ThomasOK - 'How to learn Tune Dem' thread). I was able to stay in the room in front of the...

Tune Dem of Headphones
Has anyone had the opportunity to Tune Dem any headphones? I currently have Sennheiser HD650s which I have already decided are not a very good match for my system and my father-in-law has agreed to purchase. I'm particularly interested in Grado headphones, perhaps the SR-225s, but any feedback would...
I've had enough for one day - it gets a bit tiresome after too long. However, it's made a big difference already so I'm really pleased. Apart from being more melodic, there's that 'specialness' back again. Just one example: the start of 'Telegraph Road' is really haunting once again and the whole tr...
Hi Lejonklou, I'm exhausted - moving Ninka's backwards and forwards and sideways for an hour! I'm finding quite large changes in position easy to notice or large changes in toe-in, but anything subtle is beyond me at the moment. One question - I do find it a little easier to listen outside the room ...
I had heard the term Tune Dem before, but never been shown what to do. I'm keen to try this on my Ninka's today. I think this was done by the installer origionally, but I've completely changed the room around since then, so it will need doing again. Hopefully, I can get some advice if I get stuck. C...

Was in a bit of a hurry this morning and have recalled a couple more points. Firstly, I don't know the extent to which a Keel is dependant in order to obtain the Ekos SE improvements. I know you're lucky enough to already have a Keel, so it doesn't effect you, but I just wanted to make this point in...

Hi Bonzo, The upgrade to an Ekos SE was very important to me in terms of overall musical involvement. I may well be in the vast minority here, but I've had an issue with the LP12 for a long time (maybe since the beginning when I had a Valhala, Akito and Pre-Cirkus, but can't recall for sure). It was...

I've briefly heard a Klimax Twin Vs Majik 6100 driving Ninka's at home. Each had it's own plus points - there wasn't one that stood out as heeps better. As far as I recall, the 6100 with Aktiv Ninka's had more seperation between instruments, whereas the Klimax with passive Ninka's had more bass with...
