Re: Hermanns System
A quick couple of listens to Take Five suggested that A2 is better than 'B2' - there's not a lot in the individual elements: B pushes the sax forward but, more importantly, doesn't bring the musical elements together as well as A.

Re: Room Treatment
Has anyone experimented with room treatments to improve their system? At the weekend I serendipitously found myself with spare rockwool insulation and two 75cm x 100cm unwanted picture canvases. It took about 5 minutes to stuff the frames with 5cm thick rockwool and place them behind the speakers t...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
It’s between 2 & 3 for me with 3 winning… I listened to 1,3,5,4,2,3 using Safari on the iPad mini. Sense was dragging(1) fun(3) rushed(5) hurried(4) good(2) better(3) with this song, to my ears. I don’t know if there’s temp control to test between 2 & 3 - my feeling is the optimal is closer to 3. Th...

Re: More About Powering a System
Maybe worth a try is also a new powerstrip from Chord: https://chord.co.uk/product/powerhaus-p6-mains-distribution-block/ They do not use star-wiring like others but daisy-chain the outlets so the hierarchy of devices is ensured. Curious how they daisy-chain when there a 3 outlets each on either si...

Re: More About Powering a System
Just a quick (US) power cord update after getting system upgrades completed - thanks Tom - and letting them burn in for a while... The power cord isn't burned in yet, but a 2ft 16AWG Volex power cord (with Baohing wire) seems to be a distinct improvement over a 2m 18AWG Linn Longwell when feeding my...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
I prefer Clip A. Is this analog vs digital where Clip A is analog? No… it’s internal wiring in a power distribution unit Same units, one wired with Solid core silverplated copper and the other with Linn K400 Interesting idea using K400* for power distribution... I like the feel of B/112, but it see...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Which do you prefer? Brass https://photos.app.goo.gl/SbAYeVoSH3NsEFU29 Steel https://photos.app.goo.gl/aroJw3pmjokXQw567 I prefer Brass - it just flows & sounds better to my ears. I find Steel to be a bit at odds with itself rhythmically. Steel also makes the clarinet* sound a bit brassy, like a sa...

On the other hand, I don't want to change the setup right now, but I see the need to look into it further to understand what the bridge mode does in my setup.

Re: Ubiquity AmpliFi HD
There's nothing "perfect" about a bandwidth of 0.2 Mbps - even on 2.4 you should get over 50 if the AVMs get over 500 Mbps on 5GHz. Which AmpliFi HD is the 'base' station, and how is it connected to your Internet? Do you have a separate modem, or is it a gateway with router capabilities? If it were ...

Rack comparison clips next?
Just needs someone to stick their neck out, and shoulder the burden... The rest should gird our loins for new puns now that the lamb ones are on their last legs.

Re: What’s Slam Got To Do With It?
I like what you saying. As an aside, I thought 'slam' was the physical kick in the chest that you can feel - especially from bigger drive units. But perhaps I got the wrong idea. Slam makes me think rock/drums, but there's also dynamics and scale particularly with classical and the way you can feel...

Just between the 2nd song-clips I went B initially but realized that was on tone and volume appearing to favor 2B … a few more listens has me changing my preference: 1 is close & tough to choose - both are enjoyable: A feels very slightly more together; B just a fraction more intimately expressive i...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Yes, I can hear a difference. Seems like a split decision so far... And I'm only going to add to it ;) I thought 52 was more fun to begin with, but it doesn't develop quite as well... 53 didn't click for me to begin with; a little too individually instrumented, but got it together later in the clip....
