Re: Charlie1's System

So, that's it now and the office is also finished - I've done what I can. Two vintage systems, neither with much bass, but they play music the way I like it and I have to compromise somehow. If I get bored and some active Kan 1s come my way then I'll probably explore but seems every unlikely I'll e...

Absolutely, +1.

Re: Recommended network components

.. Amplifi HD is the best I (and we) have heard so far, but how many have we tested in total? Probably not more than ten. Were Airport Extreme (base) & Airport Express (client) amongst those ten?

Re: LP12 Building Advice

Also the torque is not optimized in the other places so that’s another variable…. That the torques of other fasteners are not yet optimal doesn't matter. You can do them one by one, then when you've done the whole LP12 you can return to the first fastener you ever did and still find your original f...

I agree, then you could have reliable second opinions.

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

yes I did and I didn’t enjoy it as much. My conclusion is now when the bass is not tamed enough it might be not the optimal position. I positioned them now more far away from each other and the bass problems are away and the slight harshness in the upper frequencies also. Moved from them from 1.45M...

Great Tony, hope you won't regret it. Why the long delivery time? It is available in Germany (Amazon). I had seen Can live in an old school auditorium in the early 70s. Not very many visitors and that was an experience. Sat right in front of the guys on the floor. You can hardly feel a musical expe...

I still have limited understanding about the 308 as of limited optimizing options but I certainly understand already what many people like with them. I expect longer cables to arrive from Thomas soon. That lets me get rid of the adapters and let me place them at an optimal distance and symmetrical ...

Hi Tony, I was also initially put off by the price. Especially if a mistake should happen. But the gain in musical information is immense. Thanks also for the advice to sell the Kandid separately. It would be the first pick-up system I would sell second-hand. I'm a bit ambivalent about it, as I wou...
