Re: JBL 308P and 708P

here are my measures: my JBLs ended up 60.3cm above the floor with the stands I am using. The other stands got them too high and they did sound a little boring when placed on the higher stands. Room hight is 251.7cm just for comparison. Distance from the back wall is 10.95cm and musicality of the JB...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

if they are not positioned correctly so far you will be in for an additional treat if you take care about that. I am speaking of hight above the floor and distance to the wall and between them. I tested two stands which are maybe 3-4cm difference in hight and it was a big difference. Unfortunately t...

Re: Recommended network components

same change here - just swapped the main unit 108T v2 for 308T but used the power supply which came with the 108T feels I have better access/understanding the texts of the songs right away - some other things in the hifi (not tune) part of evaluation seem off a little bit but I attribute that to the...

Re: Music system powered by solar panels

He says if you are in a power plant and a wind park is switched into the grid you can actually hear it - it is like a shockwave going through the grid. I am keeping my hands of from solar. An interesting observation. These are high voltage suppliers using a physical device to generate the electrici...

Re: Music system powered by solar panels

I didnt have scientific evidence but my gut feeling since more and more neighbors have installed solar panels around me is that the day and night listening difference got worst. I am attributing this to the solar panels with their inverters. The grid management got much more complex with those wind ...

Re: LP12 Bounce

happy for you but also kinda jealous as I never got my greenstreet audio bouncing nicely but its probably not the greenstreet audio‘s fault.
Did you ever had a chance to compare to a real Keel? If yes what do you think about the difference.

unfortunately I was reading Tokenbrit’s answer before I listened so I am not sure if that influenced the outcome but I prefer A too. Impressive for a CD-Player.

Re: LP12 Bounce

this is bouncing really nice
it would be great to see if the theory with the pumping of the bass units works - meaning you place the needle on the record the platter is not turning and than you engage the bouncing-do your bass drivers move in and out or not?

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

what you can do is try the 308p first to see if its your cup of tea - the 708p will improve on the 308p performance but you will understand the x08p „house“ sound. It might be likely that you dont need more than the 308p It is impressive and I am still happy with mine … which replaced an Dynaudio Co...

Re: Entity MC

I have tracked it till 70 hours where I could hear change. To the end of that 70 hours mainly in the presentation of the bass. Not much more after that so 100-150 hours I would subscribe to.

Re: ThomasOK's System

I understand your dilemma - although my benchmark is rather the second generation Silvers which are slotted as the first unslotted generation seems to have unreliable performance - at least the pair I had was worst than a second generation pair. And because of that and also because the first generat...

Re: Cheap power strips for best sound.

yes thats the one - was much cheaper when I bought it in Germany but for the performance it is still a bargain.
However as I said the cable has changed so that might has an influence on performance for better or worst.

Re: Cheap power strips for best sound.

difficult to say - I think the only way is to find out by yourself. The current king of powerstrips is the Clas Ohlson 6way but also that one changed and still changes over time. The power plug has changed and the cable too - I recently bought one in Norway (no I didnt convinced my family to make ho...

@Defender. I was thinking about Sagatun and Tundra monos too. I’ve heard them sound excellent, but since I haven’t lived with them I don’t think I’m in a position to put them forward for GOAT status.
thats why I put them forward for GOAT status
