Listen at 32.50. Is that what we seek? https://youtu.be/hqz4SQCKv_o It does sound very good, especially when you consider the digital divide between him in the room and us at home on our laptops, etc. I agree, would like to hear more, but from what I heard on this link was interesting: https://www....

I agree, I was having difficulty too with this A/B because their both so different one should be obviously better yet I found both somehow just off.. Reminds me of the Duke LP/recording so maybe it's just the board/console and recording techniques Phil chose to use back then.

If anything, it was the opposite assumption: that the 308s should be significantly better than the K104/Tukans. That's what I meant, but said the opposite :D Better? I think it is. https://www.dropbox.com/s/u9grlco8eud8v1h/20230303_183423.mp4?dl=0 "Sounds" better yes but the musical disconnection b...

My thoughts are a high quality phonostage -which is a quasi pre-amp- straight to amp, bypassing the need for a preamp altogether, keeping it simple, less stuff to get in the way, one less interconnect and so on, just a mute switch perhaps. ...But I totally agree that you'd probably only sell a few ...

What do you think was going on with Richard Dunn to make him hate Linn so much? How do you square that away? Well, back in the day NVA was seen as a viable alternative to NAIM amplification but the bulk of the flat earth HiFi press-of-the-day would have none of it. So his commercial success fell vi...

I was thinking about Superkikkin. Circuit is now final. I will update you all tonight, if I can make it. How about an Entity with a volume control? ...You ever give any thought to a project like that? No, I haven’t. You want one? The main complaint about Kikkin, back when it was made, was that ther...

OK, back to working on the project that will solve Zee9’s problem. Would you care to elaborate? :) I was thinking about Superkikkin. Circuit is now final. I will update you all tonight, if I can make it. How about an Entity with a volume control? ...You ever give any thought to a project like that?

Yes, interesting looking speakers those 5/5f's and even sounds nice enough in this video for me to want to hear them in person, see the 1:20 mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf55Uc4qGNc

Having previously favoured Blacks at home, I was expecting to prefer 3 but found it out of tune on all 3 clips and preferred 2. However, I carried on listening for longer and 2 became a bit annoying whereas 3 did not. Not sure what impact the different recording level will have had - hopefully 'sou...

Unless you bought your SR tool second hand, the calibration is rarely further off than a few steps. But those steps can of course be crucial. I would check by ear one step at a time, beginning with the low torque holding the pcb. If you’re sensitive to immediate changes, which I believe you are, it...

My immediate reaction was that A is easier to follow with better timing. However, once the singing starts, B seems more tuneful, interesting and engaging. So I like both for different reasons. Interesting you think that way Charlie and I think you may be overthinking it?. For me "A" was on it music...

Well, I'm not sure which one is which but I'm digg'n "A".

I believe that beck advocates this approach, as does charlie1 when he’s in “work mode”, if I’ve understood correctly. Kind of. Work mode is focusing on work but having well-timed music in the background that doesn't annoy/distract me. Home mode is choosing to ignore any minor timing annoyances and ...

Correct, I'm never consciously evaluating the pitch -or any of those other things I mentioned- of a performance, but if the timing is off I loose interest instantly, I'm very sensitive to that. Pitch being not right in a given track may simply be an anomaly of the recording/pressing what have you, ...

Very true, for me the band needs to be playing together first, musician interplay and quickly understanding the fundamental structure of the performance, and like it or not PRaT is a very important part of it all too, I can only assume that if someone dismisses PRaT they are attempting to make excu...

I guess the "hierarchy of importance" would vary from person to person. That’s how I interpret the model charlie1. It appears that we can focus our attention on timbre, pitch or location, but not time? I’m not sure that makes sense to me. I took the image from a very brief introduction to auditory ...

Clip one for me Charlie.

A holds it all together better, B sounds better. So A for me.

Hi I need advice I would like to connect a subwoofer to my linn active system (linn majik 140, linn majik i, linn majik 6100 wit akurate DS), Anybody can recommand something? My linn's dealer say Rel is good, or BK électronic (xlss 400), Is it better to wait for give a linn majik 126 or akurate 226...

Hi, I am for the lookout for some audio boards to NAC 32.5, NA321 & NA324. If you have some, feel free to contact me. :) BR Many folks on PF have been convinced that the aftermarket ones are better in some way, this has never been my experience and I've tried several that have messed up the tune in...

This has been posted here before Spanko. I set up this link to start at Roys/Regas view on TT's:

I get the impression from reading various posts that it appears there are folks willing to accept less tune and information of what’s on the vinyl for more synergy tone wise with the rest of their system. Personally the tune is the most important thing for me when I evaluate gear in my system, the ...

……… the P10 on thye other hand struck the right balance for me between tune & neutrality that I'm more drawn to than any LP12 I've owned or listened to ……….. This could be why people disagree with your opinion. Only if you use the tune method in favour of all other evaluation methods will others (w...

A big question I would like to ask you guys is: Why do you think my reported experience of the Linn LP12 and Rega Planar 3 vs Cherry Picked A N Other (including Japanese direct drives) differs so much to yours? What do you think is going on here? Feel free to be very open and honest here. Give me b...
