Re: JBL 308P and 708P
Interesting that you find them so different! I listened to a wide range of music yesterday and found with boxes enjoyable as well. Especially on more bass-heavy music, soul, r”n”b etc. More tonally d...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P
They're so different that it seems rude to compare them... The music is more insightful "utan boksar", but there's a comfortable richness to the sound "med bokser". Have you tried different thicknesse...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
For devices with double-insulated plugs (Euro plugs), selecting the correct phase is only possible by ear. Alien and Switch use these types. Since there are only four options, it's quite easy to find...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
I struggled a bit with this one too. I like the sound of D...more 'alive.' But I find it easier to follow the tune on C. To me this difference was more evident on Handbrake. Agree about the sound on ...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
B sounded wrong in different ways between the two songs... A (twice) for me too.

Re: SSD more musical than HDD!
I have a Kingston XS1000 2T SSD for evaluation, apparently it lacks hardware-based encryption. Maybe this is an advantage or maybe not, will report back about sound quality. Curious to hear what you ...

Re: Tony Tune-age System
Quite an improvement there. although the increased amount of bass makes me wonder if that wasn't affected by a difference in recording device placement. Sounding good. Also the matter of one file bei...

Re: Searching Spotify by record label
Interesting - thanks for sharing. Bit of a boring choice but I'd likely start with Geffen for a mix of artists, US distribution for UK/EU, as well as discog handling as a Warner/Universal subsidiary. ...

Thanks for the hint, tokenbrit. I had neglected to mention the overall impression of both Pre (SK & SMs V1.7), as we were more familiar with the SMs V1.7. Obviously, the "getting used to" enjoying a ...

Re: Hermanns System
Once the SMs V1.8 was warmed up and broken in, there were no more questions. The SK wasn't their favorite, but rather the SMs V1.7. Considering the price, the SK is simply a great preamp and is prett...

Does your wife feel that the upgraded SMs have found their soul, now that they've warmed up/settled in, or does she still prefer SK?

I have experience with most of the older Harmonihyllan shelves; Oden, Tor, Mimer, Sleipner, Schabrak. I'd call that considerable ;) Källa & both Boazus certainly seemed at home on 24 & VAS. Shame it'...

Re: EVENTS
While at Tonläget, were any thoughts formed about Harmonihyllan versions in preparing the Boazu comparison? Boazu 2 sounds really good in the comparison clips.
