Over 20? There are 63 drivers in each. But they still aren't the winner (loser?). I don't know who made a speaker with the most drivers, but this McIntosh behemoth, the XRT2K, has to be in the running with 110 drivers (drivels) per side.

I will answer with my subjective opinion.tokenbrit wrote: ↑2020-02-13 15:15
Do you have any thoughts on whether this is because the single cable change is on the KRadikal, so high up the system hierarchy, or would you expect similar improvement going from 2 Longwells on the Sagatun Monos, to 2 of the latest Lejonklou cables on the preamps? Trying to figure priority and number of cables needed across the black boxes... if you have any left unspoken for ;)
Long term, probably not. Short term - financially - yes, especially when it could be rather more than three that I need, hence the question(s) to Tom on priority, and numbers/availability.
Thanks for sharing this interesting story.ThomasOK wrote: ↑2020-02-11 20:30 [It turns out this piece of music has a very interesting and convoluted history. It was one of the last two songs Peter Green (who some at the time considered a bigger guitar god than Eric Clapton) wrote for Fleetwood Mac before succumbing to the problems caused by too many hits of acid. It was written in two parts and Green considered part 1 to be a "throwaway riff" putting his energy into part two on which he is said to have played all the instruments except the piano (although I wonder if Fleetwood didn't do the drumming near the end, but it's relatively simple drumming so who knows).
Green was surprised when the record company decided to make "Oh Well" a single rather than put it on the album (as was common practice in the 60s) and lobbied unsuccessfully to have part 2 be the A side. It ended up the B side with part 1 the A side. Fleetwood and McVie bet Green 8 pounds apiece that "Oh Well" would flop. Instead it hit #2 on the UK charts and stayed in the charts for 16 weeks also charting elsewhere. It was also the first Fleetwood Mac song to chart in the US although it only reached #55.
After the single came out "Oh Well" was added to the US versions of "Then Play On" joining the two parts of the track into one 8:56 piece simply entitled "Oh Well". This is what is on my record, but may explain why I had such a hard time hunting it down years ago when I fell in love with the second part of the track. It wasn't on early US pressings of the record and I don't think it was on any UK pressings. So it might be hard to track down but certainly worth it.

With the Lejonklou cables there is no temptation since its much more real and seems like listening to real (and better) musicians, even digitised through to my phone. You must be having a great time with these!

Or starting from the "Wall", important part of any system ... so what first ???ThomasOK wrote: ↑2020-02-13 23:27 AC power is pretty crucial to the sound of the system since it is what is driving everything, in essence being modulated by the music signal (a gross oversimplification, but you get the idea), so it is not surprising the improvements a good cable can make anywhere in the system.
This is definitely something you should look into: the best wall socket! Much better than ordinary or "hi-fi" wall sockets.

I don't know if this is the type you use in your country though...
Excellence ... I will check and try to find Euro / Shuko in their product portfolio ...Tony Tune-age wrote: ↑2020-02-14 16:43 Good point Tendaberry. I installed two Hubbell IG8300 Isolated Ground Receptacles in place of the outlets that were originally installed. It was an improvement, and it was an affordable upgrade as well. Several companies make these products at various price ranges, but the Hubbell works just fine for a lot less money.
Cheers
Hahahahaha ... :)ThomasOK wrote: ↑2020-02-14 19:28 Ha! Now I'm the one who broke the 100 page mark. :-)
Go back to the wall socket? i went back to the electrical box and wired my system for 230 Volts instead of 115. Separate circuit breaker, heavier gauge wire (which may or may not be better) and tested for most musical direction before installing, to better sounding AC socket. I suppose I should have listened to various brands and gauges of Romex, but you have to draw the line somewhere!

Hello ThomasOK! Can you please record some more dynamic music like rock or punk? I am curious to hear how those Quad ESL handle that kind of music. I usually don't listen to a single guitar or base without vocals. That kind of music is a little "hifi-show" to me.ThomasOK wrote: ↑2020-02-13 23:27 But actions speak louder than words so here are two clips, Clip 1 all Linn Longwell cables, Clip 2 Lejonklou Volex cables on KRadikal and SINGularities. If you would like more than one instrument to make your judgement a fiddle joins in right about the 1:30 mark. I will have a full loom for the show and should have enough available but the response has been more than I originally expected and I have around 20 sold already, not including those I will appropriate for myself. But I have a fair number more than that coming in over the next couple of weeks. They are selling for $40US each.

My view is that it is not so much the cable itself but all the work with the system that has been done along the way. The cable by hitting the mark just reinforce all the good work with equipment and setup.Spannko wrote: ↑2020-02-15 02:41The difference between these two cables is totally crazy!!!ThomasOK wrote: ↑ He
