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: JBL 308P and 708P

Klanters wrote: 2022-01-07 03:36 Hi Forum,

Am I right in saying that there's only one version of the 708p (unlike the 308p where I understand that mk1 is great and mk2 not so great).

To put it simply, would one have to worry about getting the correct version of the 708p?

Thanks!
There's only one model of 708P Klanters .

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.

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...

I assume that LP12=Lingo (as you alternate between the two in your writing).
Sorry I ammended it Fredrik Rosemary and Thyme is Kairn LP12/Lingo1 Linto

Lingo is LP12

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: 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...

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.

Here’s another couple of woofer clips. Same bass units, but this time filtered at 90Hz instead of 2000Hz.
