That clip is from long before he was admitted to the conservatory. So he’s on a new level now.
Would love to listen to a new clip if you (& your son) are comfortable posting here. Congratulations to him (& you) on his graduation!

Re: Nait 50

Idiomatically, "if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it is a duck" Nothing about 'if it sounds like a duck', much less a musical one... If they've overcooked it, after 50yrs, you might be better with sauce first 🦆

Interesting - how do you make sure there's even pressure at each corner, and level speakers or stand on balls instead of spikes?

Re: More About Powering a System

The 100mm spacing hasn’t been verified as the best spacing, and isn’t a hard and fast rule. Initially, I tried three distances, 0mm, roughly 200mm and roughly 50mm, all measured by eye. Having a space between Källa and Boazu seemed to work the best, so I wondered if increasing the space would make ...

Re: More About Powering a System

Question to markiteight & ThomasOK, primarily, regarding the US power cord for a Cablepro: I know Fredrik recommends shorter (2'), heavier (14) gauge, and that Volex tends to be preferred, but the ready-made 2 ft Volex only seems to be available in 16ga.

Re: More About Powering a System

In UK & EU power strips, are the internals wired as individual outlets? The Ikea power strips are brass bars, while the Cablepro are wired duplex outlets. Looking to understand whether it's the wiring that matters, or the spacing, or both... With the duplex outlets in the Cablepro there's limited fl...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

More inclined to B... just seemed a bit more holistic, if a little less impressive. A was opposite: more individual elements, but didn't come together in the same way... 'less' was more for me.

Surely, Matt and Tokenbrit, the streaming can give you a satisfying play back with the right gear, but again, you are dependent on what manipulating streaming services are doing afterwards, for bad or good. Once you have your vinyl, tape or CD copy it is up to you setting up the gear to get the bes...
