Re: Charlie1's System

What have you tried in that room: Ninka, Kan, Kan II, Tukan/Katan?, Majik 109?, Majik 140?, Keilidh?, 212, Saras, don't know if you tried the 'bariks in there, Komponent?, Series 3?, JBL LSR308, and others: there were some Naims as well, iirc...

Re: 50th Anniversary LP12

I had the same thought, John. Not going to spend £50k/$60k to find out... Hope it sounds better than it looks.

Curious way to celebrate a 50th anniversary; like paying for your wife to get a facelift that doesn't suit her... :/

Re: Hermanns System

Prefer 1 - there's more time for musicianship and interplay to develop...

2 - more drive, but feel a bit rushed, and less interesting musically.

Re: Charlie1's System

Thanks folks. Moved the speakers further apart which has helped the music breathe a bit more. I'm sure it could be better and always glad for critical comments, as long as they are kind :) These are with Blacks, right? Good timing but missing the body - I've preferred floorstander over bookshelf in...

Re: Charlie1's System

Interesting. I hear ... Silver is more tuneful Black has better timing Problem for me is that the lack of timing with Silver affects the overall interplay just a bit more than the (relative) lack of performance in the voice with the Black. The tune is carried by both aspects to my mind which seems ...

Idiomatically, "if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it is a duck" Nothing about 'if it sounds like a duck', much less a musical one... If they've overcooked it, after 50yrs, you might be better with sauce first 🦆

I assume you have tried: Giella PI-Lingo 2-Slipsik 8-space-TM2-TM2, and Giella PI-Slipsik 8-Lingo 2-space-TM2-TM2 ? Preferred the latter, as it was before Thought "as it was before" was Slipsik 1st? :-? .. preferred slipsik/giella pi/lingo2/space/tm2/tm2 To slipsik/giella pi/space/lingo2/tm2/tm2

Re: More About Powering a System

The 100mm spacing hasn’t been verified as the best spacing, and isn’t a hard and fast rule. Initially, I tried three distances, 0mm, roughly 200mm and roughly 50mm, all measured by eye. Having a space between Källa and Boazu seemed to work the best, so I wondered if increasing the space would make ...

Question to markiteight & ThomasOK, primarily, regarding the US power cord for a Cablepro: I know Fredrik recommends shorter (2'), heavier (14) gauge, and that Volex tends to be preferred, but the ready-made 2 ft Volex only seems to be available in 16ga.

Re: More About Powering a System

In UK & EU power strips, are the internals wired as individual outlets? The Ikea power strips are brass bars, while the Cablepro are wired duplex outlets. Looking to understand whether it's the wiring that matters, or the spacing, or both... With the duplex outlets in the Cablepro there's limited fl...
