Never as straightforward with 3... For me it was 1 (GS108T) or 2 (Melco) each better than 3 (GS108T+Melco), so I focused on 1 v 2, only going back to 3 to understand the difference(s) between 1 & 2. With this song, to these ears, I thought 1 was better: more harmonious, giving me a stronger connecti...

Yes! Too many variables to be sure what's going on as yet...

Be true to your signature :)

A night for streamed consciousness so that no LP12s are injured in the welcoming of a new year & decade? Party like it's VM95 :)

There is no question in my mind Fredrik has another winner on his hands! Thank you for adding some substance & sustenance to the chow... It's impressive that the Entity shares distant(?) familial characteristics with SINGularity. It'll be interesting to hear comparison against more down to (flat) e...

Shame, but gives me more time to save... Looking fwd to the comparison.

I'd be very interested to hear a repeat of the comparison between the store demo walnut LP12 and your movingui plinthed deck again, but with an Entity... That said, I have to admit: my CFO, and bank balance, are hoping that the first 3 production Entity MCs in North America are already spoken for......

The eureka moment comes not from the Urika...

I'm a bit late to the party but to me the 2nd clip sounded like a playful pillow fight with attitude, whereas the 1st was a smothering pillow with a brick in it... Ridiculous difference. Seems like I need me some of them new fangled alumin(i)um screws for my AT-OC9 (& an Entity MC) for Xmas.

I was going to say that I was more comfortable with 1, but since jazz makes me uncomfortable, that probably means 2 is better.

Obvious to me, given stated desire to keep your Axis for a couple of years yet, would be the phono stage, probably Slipsik in readiness, with a new VM95 stylus as a maintenance item. Otherwise keep enjoying the music, and saving for that LP12 when you're ready to upgrade from the Axis ;) Find the ri...

I wasn't keen on the Fazioli either, but the pianist certainly liked it... Watching & listening on the tv I thought the Steinway sounded just a little delicate; I preferred the weight of the Bösendorfer - thankfully nothing like Bose. Nice to have options, if not both Steinway & Bösendorfer for diff...

Shouldn't that be like speakers: the other grands should rolled out of the room so they don't resonate and influence each other in room? Critically speaking, each grand should be assessed in the same position, surely ... or they should each be tune-dem'd into their individual optimum position :D

What would we say of .. Evelyn Glennie? Where does their appreciation of music come from? Thanks for mentioning Evelyn... I have to admit I wasn't familiar, but did a little Googling, which led to this: https://www.ted.com/talks/evelyn_glennie_shows_how_to_listen - I found her talk, musicianship, i...

Impressive in all aspects: cat, wife, and music :)
Sideways & out = better to me... I hope you're allowed to listen to music and enjoy the fruits of your labours now ;)

1 step forwarDS; 2 steps Akubarik... :/ It's good that Linn reintroduced the DSs, especially if that leads to new Renews... I really hope they don't even think about considering limiting new LP12s to those with Urika 2, but I am surprised by the decision to drop their passive speakers. It seems like...

New clips! This time “Hakai” and Tidal as source. Two different speaker positions. 29cm from wall (previous best position) ... 29,5 cm ... Amazing what 5mm will do. Agree with beck that 29cm is the better of these two... Did you try any further out than 29,5 or was that limited to the '2 cm change ...

Glad you've reached a happy Kanclusion... hope they let you hug (& smell) Kate Bush whenever you (& she) are in the mood... and if they're not kandusive, then maybe inviting her into your office would do the trick :D

Supposedly the Kan is an LS3/5A clone .. or is that a klone? Have you heard any of the other later if not latest LS3/5(A) derivatives such as those from Harbeth, Spendor, or Graham - Harbeth P3; Spendor A1; Graham Chartwell LS3/5 - if not those from Falcon Acoustics or Stirling Broadcast? When revie...

I'm not the biggest fan of Linn speakers, generally, but I preferred them here... The RKs, as they been abbreviated above, sound a little too RauKous for my ears.

I'm with you. (sorry Charlie1 - maybe it helped that I had 3 coffees today :)

Less convinced after listening on my phone, rather than my laptop, but not enough to change my vote... Maybe another, better, speaker position lurking somewhere?

Kaos theory - 2nd set; "2 cm change in position" for me, thanks :)
