Re: Spotify settings for best musical performance
to be certain it really is that setting that makes the difference, could you try it on a few more tracks? Perhaps reverse the order when you have it off and on (thinking the required restart might be the reason?) Certainly! I'll report back after I've spent some time with it. You just had to say th...

Re: Spotify settings for best musical performance
Thanks for the clarification, Jajo!
Now it's even more puzzling that any differences exist at all, but they do!

Re: More Tune Method Talk...
Listen at 32.50. Is that what we seek? https://youtu.be/hqz4SQCKv_o Listening to that clip made me wonder how a sub-$2000 system built using the tune method compares to a system costing in excess of one million (!!!) dollars built using traditional audiophile values. Let's find out: https://www.dro...

Re: Spotify settings for best musical performance
Funny (or interesting) that on your clip I found A1/W1 clearly better and then could only reproduce the opposite conclusion (better with Canvas off), both live and through a clip. I began to wonder if I somehow mixed up the clips and we're actually preferring the clips with Canvas off, so I've been...

Re: Spotify settings for best musical performance
Apparently Canvas is not available on iPad. I compared in the room and preferred Off within 2 seconds. Jajo made two clips and sent me blind. Instantly preferred Off in those clips and he replied he heard the same in the room. So with your clips, what did you experience in the room, markiteight? Th...

Re: Spotify settings for best musical performance
I think your system sounds awesome. Awww thanks! That's high praise indeed. It's all thanks to you and the collective wisdom of this forums' members. And I prefer A1/W1. Surprised the difference is so big. Did both of these songs have a video? Yes that is surprising indeed. What's even more surpris...

Re: Spotify settings for best musical performance
One setting that I haven't evaluated is 'Canvas', which can be found at the bottom of 'Playback' settings. Never had this enabled. Not sure whether it matters to sound quality. I've always had it enabled. It's kinda fun, but I too have wondered if it affects musical performance. The video loops onl...

Re: Play Loud!
Fun question, Arjen! For me, hearing “musical wallpaper” is indicative of a poorly performing system. To sound good at low levels, it’s doubly important for a system to be able to play rhythms and tunes accurately. Only then, without the impressive crash, bang, wallop of high level volumes will the ...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P
Thanks for listening. You're welcome! The latest list was 24cm from the rear wall. I also tried 23 and earlier tried further out. I meant closer to the wall than what's shown in your JBL vs. K104/Tukan clips. I'm just curious if getting them right close to the wall helps, as it did in my situation....

Re: JBL 308P and 708P
I moved them further apart so they're about 130cm apart now and I think that's an improvement. I tried further out but they sounded worse to me. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hy2p3j1kc47x8a5/20230303_091920.mp4?dl=0 The recording is also a bit louder this time so a better volume match to the k104s.

Re: JBL 308P and 708P
On the first pair of clips I slightly prefer the K104, but I had to go back and re-listen to make a choice. With Norah Jones I clearly preferred the Tukan setup, but like you said it's probably not a fair comparison. I agree with Fredrik that these recordings are not showing the 308s I'm familiar wi...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P
No probs - thanks for asking. I didn't want to spend lots of money on them at this stage so currently using a 3m-long RCA to XLR cable from Amazon. Look delivery of a different one today that's 5m so will compare tomorrow. If they are keepers then I'll ask my dealer to make up some 5m Linn cables. ...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P
24 hours with the 308s and they are growing on me. Immediately missed the timing of Linn speakers but they are so neutral and refined across so many genres and eras of vinyl production and recording technology that's its hard not to like their amiable nature and ability to get out of the way. But I...

Annnnd fixed! It was a volume issue, but it wasn't in HAKAI. The volume was turned all the way down in Spotify!
