Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
I can recall the founder of VIVA Audio, Amedeo, while setting up a complete system one of our dem rooms at the time would use wool pad sheets that he would cut to size on the fly -adding, stacking, twisting, removing again- on all the components after initial setup to fine tune the system to some p...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Just remember that any setup is different and I do think that not using a conventional preamp makes my system more vulnerable to unwanted vibration.
Then again digital is weird. :-)

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
I just removed one small piece of felt that supports the powercable just before it enters the CD player. It is now back in place again. :-)

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Not N! M is for Music - elements hold together, and support the rhythm & music. N is just not - it feels exaggerated and disjointed with no connection between voice and percussion, losing the music in the process. I enjoyed M; felt like stopping N almost immediately - surprising, and not had a nega...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
I listened again (downloading the clips) and I have changed my mind. I find the Nait50 setup more to my liking. So much so that I will try K20 speaker cables again.
Not trying to sway the consensus here. Just count me as the odd one out. :-)

The sound of Linn today:

Many will like this but it is not for me.
We all have to listen and decide. The same goes for the LP12 50……….. but maybe not an option.

Re: Charlie1's System
Blacks vs Silvers is just different to my ears. Each is musically better than the other - just in different ways. Pain really. I wish I was someone more one end or the other and so didn't notice any drawback to one that worked for me. I can follow both yours and tokenbrit’s description but I person...

Re: Charlie1's System
I think your setups sound great both using Silvers and Blacks. Your bedroom system has come a long way and is very musical and enjoyable. Now relax and enjoy. :-)
