Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
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...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Hi Lego, Now I'm wondering if you're running up against a very live space and perhaps could benefit from some Room Tuning? A few well placed diffusers and/or a well placed rug perhaps to take some of the room edge off? ...Just a thought. Hi Scooter, There are some nice suggestions in there , thank ...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
MUSIKALISCHE ist für mich am musikalischsten. You can actually hear pitches of the bass line in addition to the rhythms being better delineated. The repeating percussion motif has a great sense of tension and the singer's diction (such that it is) gets more meaning across - I was surprised by the a...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Ok I take it the reverse polarity thing is irrelevant with powered active speakers As Kairn inverts the absolute phase of the music signal, you should invert hot and cold in the XLR end of the interconnect that connects to your JBL 308's. If you have been listening with inverted absolute phase, I k...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
So Lingo, Kairn, Linto was the order most preferred. Huh! The only conclusion I can draw is that I need to continue testing various orders in the power strip and take precise notes of all findings. With Kikkin, Sagatun and Sagatun Mono I had consistent results for long enough to think that I was do...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
mmh seems like a version of the the Radikal first vs. Sagatun first debate is back … maybe it really depends on the pre-amp and LP12 motor control in use. If it depends on the specific pre-amp and LP12 spec, that makes it difficult to benefit from others' experiences. I followed the Radikal or Saga...

Just by coincidence there's bit of a bass player theme going on. Obviously Paul Simon, with the Chic combo,Bernard Edwards & Nile Rogers . Sage is........Lingo Kairn Linto . Parsley is.. Lingo Linto Kairn. Rosemary and Thyme is........Kairn Lingo Linto Next set was Joe Cocker with Sly & Robbie .Bass...

So, as I try to get my cd replay as close as possible to my vinyl replay, it is always interesting to compare.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Ophfer is all round more in tune this time but there's still something compelling about MUSIKALISCHE too, it has this rawness air to it but it's less in tune. How about a combination of the best of both? I don't think that distribution block exists,at least you're being consistent which is reassuri...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Gotta say, for me it's Parsley over Sage. ...In fact all I needed was that opening cymbal crash. After your statement I checked the clips again and although I understand what you say with the opening cymbal crash I think this setup (Page) is on details and not as much on flow and musicality as SAGE...

Re: LP12 Building Advice
I think you missed 'exact order subject to correction', Lego. The main bearing is perhaps the most important part of the LP12 and the plinth is way down on the list. That I am not convinced of Karousel is a different matter entirely. I have installed a bunch of them, tried various torques and liste...

No. I meant that it is the second least important component of the record playback system . Plinth, top plate, base, platter interface, platter, bearing (exact order subject to correction), power supply, sub-chassis, arm, cartridge.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
What I find really remarkable is how big the differences are and how easy it is to hear them on clips recorded with a phone. Clips of two different loudspeakers: 'Hmmm, well, I'm not entirely sure but I think I prefer one of them. How do you rate them when listening in the room?' Clips of two power...

Here’s another couple of woofer clips. Same bass units, but this time filtered at 90Hz instead of 2000Hz. One of the woofers is about 120mm dia, the other about 200mm dia (that’s about 4 1/2” and 8” for our imperial friends) https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B1253qWtHuohvLT That first one is usel...
