I forgot to mention that the settings were the first thing I checked after the great disappointment, and everything was as it should be. However I also checked settings prior to updating to *.43 and found Canvas turned on, so I turned it back off before comparing .42 to .43. The good news is the mus...

Hrmmmm...something ain't right. After reading tokenbrit's post this morning I confirmed my phone was still on *.43 before following his lead and turning off auto update. I then headed off to the gym, looking forward to a nice long session with Spotify's newfound musical prowess. That didn't happen. ...

I previously haven’t noticed any significant differences when updating the Spotify app, but today was different. My iPad mini 6 was at a version from some time in April (sorry I didn’t check the version number) and was just updated to 8.8.43. Wow! Better! Despite being set to auto update my phone w...

Can you please list a price?

And you've reminded me, I should try Skeets again really. I've found that Skeets improve the musical performance, even on carpet. The only issue with Skeets on carpet is they need time to settle in, much like Tom and Fredrik's experience at the show. This can make finding the optimum position a bit...

This is because his sockets are duplex, arranged in pairs. It’s not good to have the speakers on two separate duplex’s. Your power strip might not have that arrangement. Thank you for clarifying that point, Fredrik. I probably should have mentioned what works for NA power strips probably won't tran...

Tonight I had a bit of time to play around with plug spacing and came up with this order, from best to worst: Kikkin/HAKAI/space/space/308/308/space/space Kikkin/HAKAI/308/308/space/space/space/space Kikkin/HAKAI/space/308/308/space/space/space Kikkin/HAKAI/space/space/space/308/308/space Kikkin/spa...

I had it wrong too: I had moved Kalla as well as TMs so my Lejonklou electronics are currently plugged in as in the 'to try' orientation... With the internal wiring of the Cablepro (live & neutral) arranged as it is, I don't know that it can reveal the musical benefit of Spannko's findings unless r...

There's no bus bar in the CablePro. I was wrong! The bolts that hold the duplexes to the chassis tie the mounting brackets together, thus creating a bus bar! https://i.imgur.com/yHI8g3H.jpg (I moved the live and neutral star arrays out of the way so you can more clearly see how the ground is connec...

I did not run a ground wire to each duplex socket. As the CablePro came with just the short ground wire to the first duplex socket and the rest were mechanically grounded to the case I just did the ground that way. I connected a short piece of the ground wire from the cable I used to the first grou...

Thanks for your feedback mi8. For me, experiments which don’t work as expected are just as important as those which do. Clearly, there’s more to learn here! Have you tried any other spacing arrangements? Eg Kikkin/Hakai/space/space/308/308 or Kikkin/space/Hakai/space/space/space/308/308? Exactly! I...

Spannko, your experiment came at a fortuitous time for me. Just last week I decided to swap in my CablePro Revelation (with internal wiring from an Integrity) power strip for the cheap Ikea wall splitter I had been using for a couple years since we last explored this topic here . I initially had eve...

Now $550

Now $950!

Would we all agree that a moving coil (MC) cartridge playing a 12" single is more likely to give a more musical performance than a moving magnet (MM) cartridge playing an LP? No. Never! Broad generalisations are extremely unhelpful lindsayt. Not all mc cart’s are more musical than mm’s, and not all...

I agree that the minimum baffle solution might be suspect. This is pure speculation, but I get the impression that the slimline concept came about because it does things that are sonically impressive, like give the illusion of a "wide/deep soundstage with precise image placement" and it's easier to ...

What's your current source? Given my experience with 308s in my own system fed by a reasonably musical source (HAKAI), and then hearing Fredrik's 308s driven by SMs and Källa, and then Källa/Giella/TM/T1 (although in a different space and different context), I agree with Spannko that Källa/SM/308 wi...

Hi folks, I'm really enjoying this topic! In fact, I'll likely split it off into its own thread since it's long since strayed away from the original subject. There's some great discussion going on here but some of the posts are running afoul of the spirit of this form, which is "one of curiosity, r...

Split from the LINN 50TH ANNIVERSARY topic. There was no clean way to split the discussion so I apologize for any discrepancies in continuity in the two topics. -Moderator For a given frequency and amplitude a specific volume of air has to be displaced to create the desired sound, regardless of wha...

It appears Linn is going all B&W-y:



That's a familiar looking ponytail:

to be certain it really is that setting that makes the difference, could you try it on a few more tracks? Perhaps reverse the order when you have it off and on (thinking the required restart might be the reason?) Certainly! I'll report back after I've spent some time with it. You just had to say th...

Thanks for the clarification, Jajo!

Now it's even more puzzling that any differences exist at all, but they do!

Listen at 32.50. Is that what we seek? https://youtu.be/hqz4SQCKv_o Listening to that clip made me wonder how a sub-$2000 system built using the tune method compares to a system costing in excess of one million (!!!) dollars built using traditional audiophile values. Let's find out: https://www.dro...

Funny (or interesting) that on your clip I found A1/W1 clearly better and then could only reproduce the opposite conclusion (better with Canvas off), both live and through a clip. I began to wonder if I somehow mixed up the clips and we're actually preferring the clips with Canvas off, so I've been...
