Re: Katalyst

Paolo and I have made a comparison between KDS\2 and KDS katalyst. I have to say the difference between the two machines is HUGE, especially in terms of musicality and simple pleasure of listening the music. We have created a small playlist alternating between the two versions of the KDS. We heard b...

Music Lover, Antony, Erik, hcl
Have you tried 4.3.3 (KDS)?
I found it much better than 4.12.357 and a little better than 4.1.10.

Thanks

Apologies, I'm talking to myself on this thread. I've been testing settings with the earth bolt on both the KDS/1 & KK/2 and it's quite interesting. I've been using a setting of 2Nm on both but I've realised today that this seems to lead to great inconsistency in quality of sound on the KDS. I've t...

Some news about ram, torque and bios settings. Few days ago I took a new ram to try: Kingston KHX16C9X3K2/8X There are two modules of 4 GB each, the specs are similar to KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX tried by Linnofil. Do they have a similar run in time? As two individuals of the same species seem to have di...

I think ThomasOK demonstrates my reservations against this (super-NAS) approach. It might, at any time, be possible to put together a very good NAS, soon to be impossible to build due to that most of the pieces is discontinued. This can go on forever. AClose to a waste of time as I see it. If we co...

I'll be using a used E45 motherboard that appears to be in excellent shape and which I got for a good price. The E2K does not appear to be available in the US yet. Any other comments on the RAM - is the Kingston 2x4 GB DDR3 PC10600 1333MHz (KTH9600B/4G) still generally felt to be the best? Some new...

Re: step forward

Not much to say, pictures tell it all. A definite improvement. The aspects of congestion and lazyness disappeared. It is running 1 day only, so more detailed listening will follow. My personal conclusions are that standard PC cases are not well suited for music. Comparisons between PC systems and p...

I used two recorders that I own: a NEC-Optiarc 7200SA and a Plextor 820SA. Both are internal but I have them connected by running outside the case the power cable...

Yes, I'll try. But keep in mind that the result could be affected because on the other side there are no feet.
