Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

I didn't care much for B, until I heard the vocals. Even though substantial information in the bass and drums was missing, Chris's voice just grabbed me instantly. +1 = It's not possible KALLA to be better on vocal (the most sensitive instrument, expressing emotions) and not so good on drums, bass ...

Re: The LP12 just got better (again)

Uhm I did not listen to the new Rad2 yet. My provocative question is: does a better speed accuracy/stability affect the musicality? M. Yes, in a good way ... Better musicality, better tune, much much easier to follow what musicians want to say. This is from my personal experience and to be honest i...

Re: Tundra Stereo 2.5

In my experience a system -even if kept turned on all the time- only truly warms up musically when sound is going thru it. Although this will all take less time if kept on. Yes, this is the case especially with Naim Audio equipment ... Turned on all time + signal from Tuner at very low level to hav...

Re: Tundra Stereo 2.5

In my system it appears to be the LP12 that kicks into a higher gear after about half an hour. I thought it was mainly the Radikal that needed to drive the platter, but even if I already have it spinning, there's still something that is elevated. I don't mind, I rather look forward to it.

Re: Beck and his black boxes.

Just as idea for going forward without changing hardware ...

Well, I obviously haven't used this thread for a long time. You won't see me on the forum much this week as I am on vacation and generally try to stay away from most things Hi-Fi.

Re: Tony Tune-age System

So starting with the Harmoni audio rack, Thomas is currently working on a new version of the top metal shelf. And as such, he will be making two prototypes soon (black & silver), which he thinks will improve the performance of the top shelf. So if everything works out, I'll be getting the black ver...

I think we actually agree Lego! That is, put some music on, then do something which occupies your mind, like reading a book, and finally, see how you react to the music playing in the background. Sorry, I wasn't paying attention... What was that? ;) Sorry, I don't know, I'm not from here, probably ...

They should be the same and we’re recorded just minutes apart. Maybe I have to redo i, if we can’t reach a conclusion? I would love to say that 2 is better. I do however sense a split in the sound that would make me stop listening after a while. But the voting is clear......... Yes Beck you are rig...
