Ah copy mrco99

That's very interesting Lindsayt ,could you provide some clips please, otherwise that above statement is simply going to appear as evangelising and to some as heresy. No clips from me. I don't have adequate recording equipment. This isn't religion. Terms like evangelising or heresy are hyperbolic. ...

what I meant is the feeling hearing from somewhere else and asking me if there is a live band playing downstars with my floorstanders as with the JBLs I have the same feeling only when I am more closer to them meaning in the same room. So I understand what Spannko is saying and what he describes is...

What I can imagine is that 308Ps are optimised for nearfield listening, while 3677s are optimised for listening in small theaters where all spectators have to get the full output. Very good point Matt.I think in general most cinema/surround speakers seem to have a high output. Which could also expl...

Just an update. I have made the safe bet by ordering a new Klyde. I just love the way it plays music. I have used a lot of time on the www reading about many different cartridges and been speculating a lot but in the end it just boils down to me not even stopping listening to my records with a worn...

... Yet the Majik LP12 itself is still $4995 - no price increase. Which makes it even more of a bargain and shows sensitivity to the competitive market. (Is there really a competitive turntable for $5000? Doubtful, but we are partly dealing with appearances here.) But the passive Klimax 350s? Oh ye...

Not sure if there is any science behind this 'Dr. Susan Rogers is the director of the Berklee Music Perception and Cognition Laboratory.

Strange reply. If GM makes a car for you OEM that doesn't make it a Chevrolet. Somehow I think the Naim guys would also be unhappy if you said that the Solstice was just a Clearauido. Certainly there are some characteristics that will be similar, after all there are reasons why Linn pick the compan...

Haha and great image Maffe.I'm considering putting my LP12 on a wall shelf.What were the benefits.?

Which ones and what were the issues Look at this thread, hum issues with AC powered speakers, further being unable to use AC powered speakers in my environment, no desire to change anything regarding speakers.......:-) You use an Lp12 Matt there are only hum issues with Linn Ds and Hakais.What do y...

Thanks Tom Still going to be on the lookout for a cheaper alternative. How does the Adikt compare to the Goldring 1012? Any other recommendations? I haven't played around a lot with the Goldrings but I don't believe they approach the Adikt. The Adikt was the most musical cartridge I have heard unde...

Here's some clips of the latest round of experiments. I think I know which one I prefer and it's not what I expected. What do you think?

I haven’t tried them again, since discovering that the KDS/308 combo isn’t a good one, however I’m very tempted to follow F’s lead and build them into the TV cabinet! Using JBL 308s without a preamp!? ...say it ain't so Spannko! Ha! No. I tried it but it wasn’t good. My Kairn has stopped working to...

I really like what you’ve done Fred11! As long as you use musically related evaluation criteria, you can only know more now than you knew then. If it’s not as good, go back and start again. If it’s better, try something else (wooden baffle/damping?) and see where that takes you! has the performance...

Once you get rid of the adapters ,things will normalise Defender are you getting a faint hum from the woofer yes there is faint hum from the woofer - not much but its there. There is more noise from the tweeter which I hear at the listening position - not a deal breaker but I would like it more wit...

A friend of mine Gordon who owned a record shop called Fopp claimed that a lot of vinyl he sold was cut from CD .If these records sound better than equivalent CD there's something seriously wrong somewhere.

That is good advise. Will try with my lp12 soon and see how the speakers are playing.

Any chance of some clips Fred11,please?

The look really good!!

First off I wouldn't say the running costs are getting close, at least not in the US. The DV20X2 runs $1150 with a trade in credit of 20% that means "stylus" replacement is $920. Stylus replacement on the $854 Adikt 3 is $427 - less than half the DV. I honestly think there are very few Hi-Fi compan...

Any plans to move the Ninkas out? Can't imagine they help the sound if they're just sitting there... Also, any dampening on the piano strings when not in use / while the hifi is playing? The piano resonances might confuse the recordings, but quite likely make the in-room sound good. Yes I'll defini...

A little something to listen to this weekend: NIN https://www.dropbox.com/s/cfbedkwf5d96c8t/Video%20Dec%2005%2C%2012%2035%2030%20PM.mov?dl=0 TAAB https://www.dropbox.com/s/iskrftztgfqlorm/Video%20Jan%2001%2C%202%2028%2009%20PM.mov?dl=0 ITCOTCK https://www.dropbox.com/s/m1bv332igqe5ryi/Video%20Jan%2...

Lego I have to say your setup sounded wonderfull to me without issues I would address. But yes for moving the Ninkas out (which you said will happen anyway) and yes for maybe damping the stings of the piano. But again there was nothing I heard to come to that conclusion in your clips. Thanks Defend...
