Thanks for the clip. Interesting to watch them at work. You are welcome. :-) What I find so interesting is to watch and hear what they focus on. So far away from the audiophile world. Speaking of sound and music. Listen to the last minute (from 5.00) of this: https://youtu.be/sjCVG3mPJUg So beautif...

On the subject of sound try this: Snap your fingers in front of your nose and move the hand away from your face and from side to side while snapping them still. What do you think about our ears ability to pinpoint the exact position of the snapping fingers? I find the result interesting in that we c...

That pretty much sums it up.

And sorry, english is not my native language! 😝😝😝

Regardless the exact placement of the “fist” listening when comparing always for me start with the flow and feeling of the musical timing. Does it relate well to what I experience live? Then comes all the other aspects of music. That is just what works best for me.

Fantastic sound and great music!

I love this one. I have “Jazz på svenska”.

Imagine a fist right in front of you. You can feel it touching the tip of your nose. Think of this as the music in the studio when the musicians listen back on what they have recorded using their studio monitors. It is a dense full musical listen almost as standing in front of them when they play th...

For final decision (beside other upper mentioned issues) most important for me was supporting vocals ... on Clip 1 they are in tune ... supporting. On Clip 2 they are are out of tune ... something like leading ... or loud ...

That is a great “observation” Vlado. I can hear it too!

I didnt felt it like a competition but I know that I trust your ears - so your take is kinda like a benchmark for me. And as I want to get more consistent with my opinion it helps me. I can feel the weight on my shoulders getting heavier! :-) I did come on strong with my opinion about kallesprätts ...

hi Thomas thank you for bringing this up - I got real unhappy because when I heard the clips I also preferred option 2 the first round. Than beck wrote he preferred option 1 so I gave up. Maybe there is still hope? I am not failproof and can easily make mistakes. Stick with your own gut feeling and...

+1

...and to me anyway the open discussion is what matters most.

I wasn't saying you were doing it Beck ,what I was meaning was that if someone were to say they prefer a particular clip because of a b and c etc it's hard not to influence someone listening afterwards We agree. That is what bias is and you might be right that making the voting secret is a good ide...

If I come across as a person that tries to evangelise my taste before people vote I can only apologize.

This should be a place where everybody can speak their mind freely within the forum rules.

In some ways I think that digital was “pure and perfect sound forever” from the start but our real world got in the way of making it happen! :-) I also think that we are listening to the influence the real world has on the different motherboards and other equipment we use just as much as the motherb...

The Hak seemed to instill more of an emotional reaction in me without being able to say why and in the GPC the musicians seemed to be playing more together as if they were more aware of each others playing .A backing singer in one particular track made the track sound more like a duet . Now we are ...

I am!

Me too but maybe it is a secret? :-)

This is one of those times I wonder if the first playing of clips doesn't have a problem. When I first listened to Clip 1 I thought something was wrong. Then I listened to Clip 2 and thought it was better. Then I listened to Clip 2 and Clip 1 a second time, in that reverse order, and preferred Clip...

.If Linn has truely left the concept of tune dem and source first behind I fear they will sooner or later run out of rope (I do not believe they have). Whether Linn have abandoned Tune Dem, or not, isn’t an easy question to answer. Actually it’s easy to answer. They removed TD from their homepage. ...

Well, no doubt I personally preferred the PC over the Hakai. :-)

You have put W on both devices.......

and where is K.....?

S versus W, L versus K, A versus B and C versus D are the comparisons that have been posted.

Hakai was L W A and D

Generic PC was S W B and C

11 voted for GPC 13 voted for Hakai

Only one person voted for same streamer and that was FPM who voted for Hakai on every occasion.

Thanks again for helping me out on this,it was very illuminating .

Well, something is wrong with W! :-)

So to make this an open comparison I can tell that I prefer clip 1 from kallasprätt. :-)

Great kallesprätt! This is this first time I listen to your digital setup and fully get into the music. I think you can guess my preferred clip. I guess so :) It´s crazy what a pair of cables can do! 👍 😃 Digital is easy! ;-) You just have to keep “looking” until you find the music. Voted by pm. One...

Great kallesprätt!

This is this first time I listen to your digital setup and fully get into the music. I think you can guess my preferred clip.

Half a year since I started this thread. Now I can get so close to the “same kind” of sound I get from analog with my cd’s that I no longer hear a fundamental difference between digital and analog. I can put any cd into my cd player and get music out be it HD or just redbook. Remastered analog is en...

Yes I understand.

What I'm asking is whether the clips are the same, but with new letters.

New clips! :-)
