For those of you who like bass...

So, still trying out the subwoofer, Peter ?
How do you find it? Is it integrating with the rest of the system nicely?

Yes, very well.
But I have to return it any day now.
Future will tell if I invest or not...

This thing can really move, moving a lot of air around the room. Congrats.
Full throttle with that my tip.

F112 or F113 ?

The borrowed subwoofer is an F110 v2 but I'm probably aiming for a 12" if it comes to that.
They are quite expensive and it bothers me a bit that there are no high-level and remote control options

 

The next album for listening is a bit more of the ambient kind...

Between Interval - Legacy

Spotted Peccary Music SPM-1605

 

I think I can handle one more...


ARCDA47

Check out the car hi-fi scene. You can get a 12WA7 driver there for a good price. Then get a subwoofer module with at least 800 watts. I think something like that is doable for €2,000. Example in germany

P.S
The W7 is pretty much JL Audio's best. The driver alone weighs over 20 kg. It's a beast.

 

So my HERO of the day must be Peter @P-pan , making me go totally bananas after hearing Lab’s Cloud’s ””Connecting On A Deeper Level”” and ordering three of Lab’s Cloud’s albums this afternoon LOL.

1. Organic Mathematics
2. Imminent Awakening
3. Connecting On A Deeper Level

Really love the music, the sound quality and everything else about these tunes. Thank you Peter for introducing this music to me… very much appreciated .

Roxy Music ‎– The Atlantic Years 1973 - 1980​

 

 

Listening to a magnificent classic jazz recording made here in good ol’ San Francisco on October 18 and 20, 1959. Before I was born, but hot damn, can these guys groove! I’d pay a lot of money to go back in time to hear them live! But my wonderful playback chain with the ARC CD8, ARC 6SE preamp, and ARC VT80SE with a quartet of KT170s into a massive pair of 9’ feet tall Soundlab G9-7c’s brings you as close to the real event as money can buy. The opening track is called THIS HERE. As Cannonball Adderley jokes in the beginning vocal introduction, for reasons of “soul”, they corrupted the name to DISH HERE. Indeed, with the ARC SL time travel machine, it is indeed DISH HERE. Recorded in front of a live audience who are clearly having a great time. A desert island classic jazz recording. They overload the mikes, but who cares? A little distortion never hurt anyone.

 

One of the joys of listening to CDs or vinyl is the liner notes, not written by ChatGPT, but real music connoisseurs. Ralph Gleason writes in the liner notes that when the Cannonball Adderley Quintet finished its four-week engagement at the Jazz Workshop in San Francisco in October 1959 with the piece “Hi-Fly”, the audience gave them a standing ovation for 15 minutes, whistling and yelling. And guess who came to the Jazz Workshop to hear American jazz? The distinguished legendary Russian composer, Dmitri Shostakovich. He sat for a whole hour listening to Cannonball Adderley’s group. He apparently listened most intently when Louis Hayes did his drum solos.

Man oh man, why do I get the feeling I’m living in the wrong century! Sigh….
