I probably haven't played Psychocandy for at least 20 years, but it's spinning now and I'm enjoying it very much. Such fantastic tunes! If you think the record is hard to listen to, you should have heard them live around 1985. My ears kept ringing for 3 days afterwards... Fortunately their gigs only...

That would work too, but K600 split would be cheaper

Cheers and happy holidays.

K600!!!

I prefer B as well.

Wow Thomas, I'm totally in envy! A whole bunch of Bill Evans lp's! The others look mighty fine, too.
This classic live album - The Grateful Dead "Europe '72" - came yesterday

Here's mine in walnut from 2020:

The video was indeed posted by the Linn dealer in Helsinki, Audiomania. They have quite a few other brands as well.
Actually, Hakkapeliitta is one of the easier ones to pronounce, try lentokonesuihkuturbiiniapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas.

I first bought Modern Times on cd and was very disappointed. Then I bought in on US vinyl and it was a totally different, very enjoyable record.

I guess I have an advantage here, since I understand Finnish ;-) Anyway, he was very surprised that the delivery only took one week.

Coincidentally I had the same problem on Sunday, while helping a friend with her Majik DSM. Both the Tidal and Qobuz icons were missing in Kazoo. I then updated the MDSM to the latest Beta-Davaar, because of the new login procedure for Tidal. That still didn't cure it, but we also had major network ...

Efraim - I see you thought the same like I did making the adjustments from a reference setting - I thought if I use the 1.6 +1notch for the arm I can use that as reference to go from there in complete 0.2Nm turns and know where 2.6Nm should be ... however Fredrik told me thats not the way to go - s...

Is this a 'new' Karousel, 'berry, or has it had some run-time?

Mine is definitely run in, I've had it since the end of April.

Well, so you all agree with me. The first is Karousel with 3,5 Nm, the second is Thomas' recommended 2,6 + 5 clicks. In the room 2,6 +5 is vastly better.

Here are some clips of two torques with a provisionally covered tv. What do you think?

One idea would be to digitalize (setting in Konfig) the LP12 signal... I have a Klimax DS/0 Renew and a Uphorik phonostage - so no digitizing (unless, there is a Analog->Digital->UPnP „streaming“ converter of highest quality to „feed“ the LP12 into the LAN ;-) ) Have a great and „musical“ weekend, ...

Which DS/DSM do you have? One idea would be to digitalize (setting in Konfig) the LP12 signal so that you can use Space Optimization for the LP12 as well.
But I agree, as the others have suggested, the first step should be fine-tuning the speakers and then the subs using the LP12 as a source.

Thanks Tomas, very illuminating!

Yes I experienced such an improvement with 4.0-3 so I just needed to take a breath :) Today I tried 4.0-4 which sounded little worse to me. Then I went for 3.6 and it sounded interesting. Went on to 3.4 and it sounded interesting. Then I tried 3.4+4 wich is "pretty much equivalent to 3.5 Nm" as Nic...

About pressings… I have purchased a few records from the ’hardcore maniacs’ at better-records.com. They listen, and grade records sonically. And sell. For example, I have recently been able to listen to Joni Mitchell's Blue sounding good for the first time. The price level at better-records is… fai...

I'm definitely going with A here.

OK, thanks. Why those two, are UK/US pressings considered particularly good? Yes, I definitely think so. I'm very fond of US-pressings, but there are cases (like The Beatles), where the UK are better. What are actually the main theories for WHY this is the case? I’m sure it’s been discussed before,...
