Upgrade thoughts......

Bub's system isn't 'sibilant'.

And the imaging is adequate to cause great confusion when listening to 'Made in Japan'...

Hope the Fens are still flat and wish I knew what 'midrange' sounded like.

In your opinion Paul, Just as mine is mono. personal preception its wonderful thing
How the season going?, are you going to do Prescott in Sept?

 

Everything is opinion, but in my expert opinion Bub's system isn't 'sibilant', a system that suppressed sibilance further would be less accurate. Some may well prefer this, especially if they have a preference for poorly recorded music or speech and an intolerance of the consequent spitting. This is a matter of personal taste.

FWIW your old system had a very narrow soundstage, I think this could be generally agreed upon? I guess it is better now, especially if you've removed that cabinet from the rhs of the room.

When I first set the Quads up the other week I had a very narrow soundstage, some rearrangement led to great improvement. I suppose I have to dig out 'Wuthering Heights' as a sibilance check now...

Anyway early September Prescott is on the schedule, probably not the meeting at the end of the month.

Paul,

I may well trundle along to that meeting, a couple of the guys cars I used to set up are running then, be good to see what you can do with it.
The stage had been greatly improved long before I removed the cab's, but it hasn't done it any harm. Room placement if taken the time over, can certainly pay big dividends plus its free

 

Free is good.

Hi Paul,

As a pancake. ;-)

If your cartridge can track Wuthering Heights without a little treble break-up at times, it's good. The other famous b*stard record is Joni Mitchell's Blue.

Night all.

 

ISTR the last track on Aladdin Sane being prone to spittiness. The one with 'She'll drive a Beetle car'.

Paul

 

I'll give it a go sometime. Hope the CDs reached you OK.

 

Bub FFS why are you posting on your holibags, keep the f**k away from these bloody computers mate, Im off on the 2nd of august and theres no way I'm even gonna look at a computer when I'm away.

Keep enjoying yourself and see ya when we get back.

BTW thoroughly enjoyed our last listening sesh, especially the nostalgia stuff, and TBH I do like yer system, just that I prefer mine.

Aw Ra Best P

 

Safe and very good sound. Thanks.

It's 'Lady Grinning Soul', I just looked it out. The sibilants don't bother me on the orange RCA copy I have, so I define the reproduction as 'accurate'. The green RCA International is worse.

Paul

 

I'm absolutely delighted to hear that. It means we both have what we like. Which is a happy situation for both of us.

Paul R, good.

Just got back from a sailing trip.

'Night.
