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. :...

Defender wrote: ↑2023-04-14 18:58 I think its difficult to decide I find both very good but since I cant decide it seems that both have differend qualities - I tend to like B better if both B‘s are the same setup

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. :-)

My ears are wide open and I have commented on his clips Defender! :-)

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?

Thank you Charlie1, Lejonklou, Spannko and John for this open and interesting discussion. Discussions like these makes it all worth while following this forum to me. Why can I happily live with a system most people here think is kind of rubbish? I cannot explain it other than with how I react when l...

Thank you all for your help! X it is and now on with listening to music. :-)

Defender wrote: ↑2023-03-06 19:57 for x vs y it was x for me and I didnt hat the feeling it was close between the two - x2 vs y2 is to my understanding comparing the same setups like x vs y?

I also prefer x2 over y2

Yes, that is correct. :-)

Charlie1 wrote: ↑2023-03-06 11:06 I think you've actually nailed it there with X, listening again, but would be good to know how you get on. I think Y is just more impressive, in a bad way.

I will let you know. :-)

Charlie1 wrote: ↑2023-03-06 11:04 I would stick with the new (X) setup for a while then and if you're unsure after a week, try going back.

Thank you for listening Charlie1. That is what I am going to do! :-)
