Re: Playground for practical listening exercices

The JBL's are certainly more rockin, all the instruments and vocals support each other. The ATC's sound like separate pieces that don't connect. I especially like the chorus on the JBL's, the vocals still shine through and you can easily hear all the instruments, instead of it all collasping into a ...

Re: JBL 3677

Do you need a Tundra to make the JBL's great, or would a Linn Akurate amp be sufficient?

Re: Linn Silver interconnects

They were made by my dealer late 2014. I was using them for L C R too, but have managed to push things around to use standard length cables.

Linn Silver interconnects SOLD

I have 3 x 3m Linn silver interconnects for sale. Buy 1, a pair or all 3. Asking £75 each plus postage.

Use them to get your power amp closer to your speakers for the magic 2.48m speaker cable length.

Re: Back to Black

I recently did a quick demo with black, old silver (solid connector) and new silver (slotted connector). It was quite revealing. The old old silver was the most musical, but the black was more musical than the new silver. The new silver had more bass and treble and impressiveness, but was a musical ...

Re: Tundra 1.2 and Sonus faber Cremona M?

I just tried swapping source and preamp power positions. Preamp first is more musical, and less impressive, just as you've said. I'm going for musical. I have a double wall plug that has a power strip, and one component gets it's own plug. I've been swapping the first power strip position and the ot...

Re: Tundra 1.2 and Sonus faber Cremona M?

That's an interesting comment about the hierarchy of components in the power strip. Preamp , then source, then power amp. So source first doesn't apply to this?

I went from standard length silver (1.2m) interconnect with 5m speaker cable, to 3m silver interconnect and 2.5m speaker cable. It was a very good improvement. I first tried the shorter speaker cable with 1.2m interconnects and moving the bits closer to see if it was an improvement. It definitely wa...

Hi,
You have your AV amp using the unity gain option. Does it get most of the sonic benefits of the other inputs, even thought the volume is being done in the AV amp?

Sagatun in unity gain

I have a 5.1 setup and would like to get some Sagatuns to do the pre amp duties. I'm running a an Oppo 105 as source, currently going straight into the power amps using it's internal volume.
