Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Sorry to hear that Thomas. You seem understandably a bit fed up about it. However, after the 20th, I think life will become more positive.

Sounds like a plan!Eli7 wrote: ↑2021-01-16 15:33 Yes, that would be a possibility. I will keep an eye on them.
I think I'll wait for the Lejonklou Boazu first. I'll be able to hear one soon. The experience with Slipsik was so good that I have great hope. It seems that Fredrik managed to combine all the good qualities.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
To your question: I experimented a lot with my olive Naims back then. They also played only so well with a perfect setup. Yes, it has a lot to do with vibration. Today I know that I used a kind of Tune Dem back then. The new Black Naims at the end made me desperate because I couldn't get them to pl...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
...to vibrate the same way not causing clashing “waves” ..... so that the incoming vibrations did as little harm as possible .... Again, I think it is all about “tuning” the vibrations getting them all “in tune”. Whilst I don't think Ivor has ever spelt it out entirely, I think this is what his ini...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Must admit, beck's clips have shone a different light on CD and I'm not so negative about it. I think I could happily live with it as well.

Re: Random thoughts on hifi
I was struck again today as I tested the latest additions, how much I enjoyed listening to these old entry level systems. These are not tuned at all - just placed wherever is convenient, but I was bopping along to INXS and enjoying the music hugely. It sounds a bit raw, but it is fun. Vintage kit c...

Re: Random thoughts on hifi
I really enjoyed your story about tapes ThomasOK. I have never thought about the differences in tunefulness in relation to them. I mostly used chrome type tapes in my youth. I still have them stored away but none of them are unused. Once I bought a metal tape and sure enough it did not impress me m...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Quite a clear difference again with your small changes beck.
Prefer A as well. Just more natural and enjoyable - my only focus was on what the musicians had created.
Whereas, B was distracting me with the HiFi side - like Oscar and Defender said, kind of harsh.

Re: upgrade path
Yes, I will start over. Maybe again with a Nait 3R as a heart I loved this one. I agree with you and beck and would also encourage you to follow your heart / instincts on this one. I've been in a similar boat and am now far happier than I've been the past 15 years. I get so much more pleasure out o...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercices
Gonna stick with green. I wanted one cosmetically better but it's gonna have to sound better as well. Not sure I'll try again.
Agree with the comments though, there is 'something' nicer about red but overall green is more rounded and comes out on top.

Beck has got me into 10cc :D Don't get the bass reinforcement like I did in the bedroom so it's a bit thin.

Yes, I hear the similarities now - close indeed. Ha. And I like that live Porcupine Tree track.

Re: Playlist
Some interesting stuff there, Charlie1. The Airbag album sounds like they listened to Pink Floyd quite a bit. It also reminds me a lot of Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree, especially some of the pieces they did that were Pink Floyd inspired. Overall not bad. It does appear to be unobtanium on vinyl and...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercices
I think I prefer the oak deck slightly more. After the first 10 to 15 seconds it feels as though it starts to pull away from the black deck and settle down into a more harmonious presentation. The chords from about half way through seem more harmonically complete on the oak deck, with more dynamic ...
