I got an idea. Maybe it's time to bring back the Silver interconnects and see what happens? I know you prefer the Linn Black but when listening to them in my own system they sound almost skewed. Like if the high frequencies arrives earlier than the rest. Resulting in a quick and lean presentation. ...

I found this much closer too. I still prefer C which to me is like a soft lullaby transporting me away. However, I think I now prefer D2 as I find it more interesting. You do seem to have zero'd in on a crossover point. Which way are you leaning? Both! :-) I think I am close but still working on it...

..and here we go again C vs D: This was really difficult! D sounds relaxed and got a tuneful bass, still I probably pick C for it's pace and energy. C2 vs D2: Here I pick C2. D2 sounded a bit too slow for my taste. Thank you Whatsmynaim. This is what I needed. I now have a clear picture of where to...

Compare with C and C2 above. Which do you prefer?

Such a great little video. I always feel something is wrong when people sit still when listening to rhythmic music.

No problem here! :-)

Thank you all for listening and taking part in the discussion. It is so interesting and helpful to get the forums
point of view.
C is my baseline for further experiments. :-)

Who knows, maybe C is the music peak for my system………..

Setup C has been my setup for a while. A and B are experiments on the basis of C……..

..Very interesting results with me as the only one to prefer A in both cases. By the way I still stand by my choices. How does it sound in room and what do you prefer Beck? I understand all the answers that are written regarding setup A and B, and they are one to one with what I hear in the room. :...

Yes, A and A2 are the same setup. B and B2 are the same setup.

Second take on the same two setups. Which do you prefer?

The funny thing is that I can go from the one sound to the other in 1 second doing it on the fly! I still have a leg in each camp……..

Spannko wrote: ↑2023-04-14 16:32 This is a great track for tune-deming beck! A’s out of tune vocals sound way out of tune to me, whereas B’s out of tune vocals sound pleasantly tuneful!

I know exactly what you are talking about. :-)

…. and I understand both of you………. :-)……. That is why I posted the clips.

Which version do you prefer?

Well done!…….. and back to music………. I am listening to Simon and Garfunkel (The Collection). :-)

Great music…… that’s all we need. :-)

I like it! :-)

But I think your wife could do a better job decorating the room. ;-)

Thinking even more about this, I think I’ve conflated inharmonicity and pitch. Inharmonicity is the measurable variance from a theoretical ideal and is what gives instruments their timbre. Pitch is a subjective impression of the notes being played on instruments, even when their timbre differs, and...

Your system Markiteight is an example of what can be achieved by being curious and unconventional.

An enjoyable and very low cost hifi solution that will satisfy many I am sure. :-)

Could it be your room that is playing tricks on you (us)? The height of it being unusual?

It’s certainly not what I seek beck. It’s one of the most unmusical systems I’ve ever heard!

If you read my answer slightly below where I posted this, you will know it is not for me either. :-)

Luckily, I have known all along that this is not for me. That is why I can live happily with a “low-fi” system. :-)

Listen at 32.50. Is that what we seek?
