Re: Charlie1's System
That room always seems to be a bit more challenging to find a satisfactorily musical set up than your other rooms, and systems... Late night, lower volume listening is going to present its own challenges, driving the music in the room, without playing too loud... Is there another orientation within ...

Re: Charlie1's System
109s sound 'projected'; feel they would get tiring... Happily listening to (& enjoying ;) the Tukans while I type this :)

Re: Charlie1's System
What have you tried in that room: Ninka, Kan, Kan II, Tukan/Katan?, Majik 109?, Majik 140?, Keilidh?, 212, Saras, don't know if you tried the 'bariks in there, Komponent?, Series 3?, JBL LSR308, and others: there were some Naims as well, iirc... Given how relatively simple it has been to dial in you...

Re: 50th Anniversary LP12
I had the same thought, John. Not going to spend £50k/$60k to find out... Hope it sounds better than it looks.
Curious way to celebrate a 50th anniversary; like paying for your wife to get a facelift that doesn't suit her... :/

Re: Hermanns System
Prefer 1 - there's more time for musicianship and interplay to develop...
2 - more drive, but feel a bit rushed, and less interesting musically.

Re: Charlie1's System
Thanks folks. Moved the speakers further apart which has helped the music breathe a bit more. I'm sure it could be better and always glad for critical comments, as long as they are kind :) These are with Blacks, right? Good timing but missing the body - I've preferred floorstander over bookshelf in...

Re: Charlie1's System
Interesting. I hear ... Silver is more tuneful Black has better timing Problem for me is that the lack of timing with Silver affects the overall interplay just a bit more than the (relative) lack of performance in the voice with the Black. The tune is carried by both aspects to my mind which seems ...

Re: Spotify settings for best musical performance
Just updated from .42 to 8.8.43; already being offered 8.8.44 - just a 'psa' to be aware of what version you're on/updating to as .44 may supercede .43 in available updates soon if they don't need to be applied sequentially... I've turned *off* auto updates after getting .43 to listen to the recomme...

Re: Nait 50
Idiomatically, "if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it is a duck" Nothing about 'if it sounds like a duck', much less a musical one... If they've overcooked it, after 50yrs, you might be better with sauce first 🦆

Re: More About Powering a System
I assume you have tried: Giella PI-Lingo 2-Slipsik 8-space-TM2-TM2, and Giella PI-Slipsik 8-Lingo 2-space-TM2-TM2 ? Preferred the latter, as it was before Thought "as it was before" was Slipsik 1st? :-? .. preferred slipsik/giella pi/lingo2/space/tm2/tm2 To slipsik/giella pi/space/lingo2/tm2/tm2

Re: More About Powering a System
The 100mm spacing hasn’t been verified as the best spacing, and isn’t a hard and fast rule. Initially, I tried three distances, 0mm, roughly 200mm and roughly 50mm, all measured by eye. Having a space between Källa and Boazu seemed to work the best, so I wondered if increasing the space would make ...

Re: More About Powering a System
Question to markiteight & ThomasOK, primarily, regarding the US power cord for a Cablepro: I know Fredrik recommends shorter (2'), heavier (14) gauge, and that Volex tends to be preferred, but the ready-made 2 ft Volex only seems to be available in 16ga. Have either of you, or anyone tried the P007-...

Re: More About Powering a System
I had it wrong too: I had moved Kalla as well as TMs so my Lejonklou electronics are currently plugged in as in the 'to try' orientation... With the internal wiring of the Cablepro (live & neutral) arranged as it is, I don't know that it can reveal the musical benefit of Spannko's findings unless re...

Re: More About Powering a System
In UK & EU power strips, are the internals wired as individual outlets? The Ikea power strips are brass bars, while the Cablepro are wired duplex outlets. Looking to understand whether it's the wiring that matters, or the spacing, or both... With the duplex outlets in the Cablepro there's limited fl...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
1A is K20 an 1B is K400. I thought folks might be interested so I posted them but for me the K400 clearly works better with the 212s. This is why I recorded up close so you couldn't see the cables... Thanks everyone for listening as always. PS After these clips, I swapped the decks over from 1992-s...

Comparison 1 is pretty clear to me, but hearing pro's and con's in the second comparison... The way you phrased it I wasn't sure if you wanted confirmation on 1, and we're looking for opinions on 2, or just wanted help with 2... Since you said 1 was obvious, I thought B then Began convincing myself...

Thank you for the suggestion! I currently don't know whether this is possible without making a whole new theme with inverted colours.
