Bibacord together with....

...the Totaldac dual. I really like this cable together with The Totaldac, a match in heaven.

Today I had a visit from 2 hardcore audiophiles to get the verdict from My latest upgrades. I started with this Wine to get them in the right mood together with some food.

It was time for some serius listening. But first My good friend Gunnar ( the cucumber) noticed that the wings (acrylic) I have on the floor, where too close to the speakers. We also adjusted a bit in the angle towards the speakers. YES, it resulted in more lifelike crisp, voices and more air in the upper frequenzies. And then he told me to move the bass-speakers a bit closer to sidewall to get a little bit help from the side- wall. I got a really nice support, punch in the bass-area. Nice work Gunnar, thanks! I have never had so lifelike airy sound before. These adjustments make huge difference in the overall presentation. Here is a picture with the wings in the right position.

Thank you very much Paolo. I saw your room in the room acoustic thread, it looks really nice and I bet it sounds excellent. Im really happy with My Totaldac, it sounds in short of words very analouge, still all the details in place. The new preamplifier impressed me to, it adds much more body into the music, voices etc. This combination made it more lifelike. When it comes to Wine I always go for the Italian ones .
Kind regards Krelle

Hello again! Here is a pic from a friends roof. It is the new "bubble-roof" from SMT. He is really satisfied with the result.

 

[Krelle]

This is from My roof, i had enough space that I could go the "inverted" style. I only got one of these, I need 24 more to fill the roof!

Hi Krelle ... I too have treated my room with SMT products and am very very happy with the results . Matts has been a source of great help in my queries . I have my ceiling treated with 28... 2'"X 2" Bubble Diffusers , facing downwards with a 2 inch air gap behind them , am told that in this config there is a some mid bass absorption happening as well , thru the slits present around the larger bubbles via the Helmoltz principle . My side walls have the Wing95 and 3 Acrylic V wings ... one behind each speaker , the third central behind the rack .I did try diffusion behind my listening chair , the rear wall which is around 6 feet behind my head , but in the final scheme of things have settled with employing absorption on that wall , so a sort of LEDE config . I find the bubble diffusers to work better facing outwards , rather than inverted . Have you compared the two positions ? . For me the end result is more focus , better decay times , more depth and width of soundstage all without loosing the sense of vitality to the music . I am thinking of trying out the Flower Wings , any experience with them ?

 

[Krelle]

Hello! Really nice!!! Im glad to see that your happy with the result. I only have one bubble diffuser, so Its a little hard to hear any difference right now. If I get 24 more I think it Will be much easier to hear the difference between bubble/inverted. Yes I use 2 Flowerwings. I use them on the first reflection on floor. I have never tried them anywhere else, but I think They are really good and nice looking too. I have tried other wings on the first reflection on the floor but the flowers works best there in My room. Best regards Krelle

Finally vinyl! I start with a pic on the riaa: Clearaudio reference

I also needed a record Clamp. I was on My local store and noticed this clamp. It is a door-stopper in stainless steel, with rubber-rings. Perfect as record Clamp, the only thing was to drill 7.2 mm. It works well...

Hehe, at last! Its very crowded on the front bench, this turntable is quite small and fitted exactly. Its a small turntable but the sound is big.
