Hah. Those heavy footfalls make me wonder if they used the same mic stands that were used to record Eric Clapton's MTV Unplugged album.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Interesting perspective. I listened to the mono clips with your question in mind... Is there a configuration you feel loses least when summed to mono? And do you think it's the more tuneful when not summed to mono? For me, some definitely seem to lose more in mono; I believe it correlates to tunefu...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Microphones, and by extension mic configurations, are tools. It's not so much a matter of what's good/better/best, but what works or what doesn't work for a given situation and desired outcome. What works for one scenario likely won't for another. These comparisons are fascinating and cool, but they...

Re: Spotify settings for best musical performance
Wow, that made a difference! Almost all my settings were wrong. I never messed with them so they must be the default settings.
Thanks, Fredrik!!!

Re: Video about 10 iconic turntables.
Hi folks, I have moved the discussion of the Tune Method, starting with lindsayt's excellent question about differences in opinion, to the How we define "good sound" thread. Lindsayt's question, and the resulting discussion, have strayed off this topic. But more importantly that discussion is too s...

Re: How we define "good sound"
In a nutshell many of us define & hear the tune differently. There are sounds and effects & then there's the tune. The tune is the thing that transports us, draws us into the music and grabs our attention, resulting in the gear itself somewhat disappearing, if I find my mind wandering and thinking ...

Ok. Thanks Fredrik! What about the other iPad Pro 11" on the list? Do you remember which one that is? I went through the list and believe it was the first generation 11”.

Re: Recommended control points
I just had to look it up too, and you're right! Apple themselves say the 3rd gen iPad Pro has an M1 processor, even though the M1 didn't exist for another 2 years! They also say it was available with 2T of storage, which it wasn't. They also say it had either 8gb or 16 gb of ram, which it didn't (4 ...

Wondering if the 4K 2022/gen 3 model will sound better than the 4K gen 2 since the new one has the same A15 chip as the iPad Mini gen 6 :? I seem to recall that the audio performance is (thought to be) dependent, primarily, on the modem rather than the chip, so not clear that all A15 Apple iDevices...
Re: Entity MC
This will also improve the musical performance of your cables, even on the older style solid barrel connectors. Like Fredrik and Thomas have said, be gentle! Just a slight nudge is all it takes. You shouldn't notice any movement or change in position of the tines. Your goal is to relieve tension, no...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Leaning towards Higher: Lower is rhythmic, but Higher feels more musical... This got me curios. If Higher is more musical, how could Lower be more rhythmic? Is there a cheat that makes it appear rhythmic? I hear the opposite of Tokenbrit and Arjen. To me Higher has the sharper, more defined leading...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
That is fascinating on so many levels. Thanks for sharing with us, Fredrik!
I'm curious to know if this discovery can be applied to your other products (possibly as part of an incremental '.1' upgrade, or if it's specific to the products mentioned. The difference seems subtle but important.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
The edges of notes seem more sharply defined in 998. Although I'm not convinced that makes for a better clip, I do feel like I'm drawn into the music a bit more on 998, so that's my pick.
But I don't want balls the size of raisins, so maybe it's safer to just say I don't hear a difference. ;-)

In the United States, amazon.com currently has the iPad Mini6 on sale for $399. That's 20% off. This is fulfilled by Amazon, not some 3rd party fly-by-night operation. This discount is only on the base model (64gB, Wifi only), other configurations are regular price.
