Your Teak is my absolute favorite. It has the ability to make musical sense of it all to a degree where the others in my opinion cannot follow. I forget the different parts and just take it all in as music.

I agree with anthony about the first (L1). Especially the cough at 1.14 was a real treat to my ears! It was as if the person was in the room. :-)

I'd like one with the treble and midrange of the Steinway and the bass of the Bösendorfer, please.

I agree! Though only picking one I would take the Steinway.

Which do you like best?

I am still on 29 cm.

I love “after”. Relaxed versus more strained when listening to “before”.

With “after” I really enjoy the music.

Maybe the passive version can (and do) outperform the exakt version with non Linn amps?

Now, that’s a thought......... :-)

To me you have found your “magical” spot with the speakers (29 cm).

And nice looking wall now! :-)

The magic of music!

Trying to give Kate Bush a hug while listening to her song.

With the Red I meet a cold “wall” not getting through to her.

With the Kan I can put my arms around her and smell her hair. :-)

Concentrating on the sound of the instruments only (Spannko clips) I think that the flute sounds weird compared to the first clip (less dense and together). That goes for the bass too.

Kaos is a wise cat.

I am a simple man and I like the “simple” sound from the Kaos clips. It all comes together and stay together creating a denser sound. Less “hifi”, more “body” (first two clips this time around).

.....feel like Charlie1 in that I prefer clip 2 and I agree with Kampak! :-)

I feel the same way as Charlie1.

I agree with Charlie1.

That cat has a nice influence on the music. :-)

I actually prefer the first clip but I am not trustworthy with these clips (as have been shown in the past). :-)

Here is how a real Roland RD 700 GX sounds when recorded by an ipad: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vyz12xgxw5azick/Video%2030-10-2019%2014.52.06.mov?dl=0 Try to compare the sound with the recordings above by Tendaberry by turning the volume halfway down. I know which of Tendaberry’s clips I would choose.

Impressive Spannko! It is easy to hear the difference.

Do not know many mountains: Matterhorn, Mount Everest, Kilimanjaro?

You could make a series of clips with different pieces of cloth, pictures and other things on the wall! :-)

Ha! To me the music is much better without the picture. More focussed and together. Though it looks prettier with it on the wall! :-)

Well Maffe, the sad thing is that you do not need to search for any improvements to your system to enjoy music! :-)

Just plug in the amp you are in the mood to use and sit back.....

Maffe, who is filming and what have you done to your hair? :-)

I like your Nait sunday. Relaxing and pleasureful.

I tend to find that if something in the “system” (I’d say the system consists of everything from the distribution board/consumer unit to Skeets under the speakers) is creating confusion, then all types of music are affected. I agree. The message becomes weaker and our brain starts to search for clu...

A “full” complex signal makes it easy for our brain to receive the message (the emotional content). We do not think about the details that adds up to the message. A guitar is a guitar and not that important because the message is more important. A weaker (confused, jumbled) signal makes our brain se...

There's a widespread misconception in the world of HiFi that when reproducing an orchestra, the listener should be able to count every violin. That is plain wrong. A good reproduction will let you hear the number of voices that the violins play. Every violin playing the same notes will be perceived...

Put your latest clip here on your system tread Thomas.

It is a wonderful testament to why we bother with it all. Mono can be very special indeed! :-)
