Re: Quadral Chromium Style 8

Interesting about the MF Beatles. Maybe they tuned out the sibilance ;) I do have an aversion to it and what you're hearing probably sounds normal to you. Anyway I've always felt that the Goldring series 1000 cartridges with their higher than normal output (6.5 volts) were sibilance magnets.....pun...

Re: Quadral Chromium Style 8

Sibilance: The only Lps I can think of is what I'm listening to at the moment. Anyway I'm just curious to see if the Quadral's can render the sibilance more benignly in the sense that you can hear them but they're not intrusive. Anyway here's two: The Beatle's Revolver : For No One - I personally t...

Re: Quadral Chromium Style 8

Lol! What you need is Montrose's first album to get that driving through the Grand-Canyon-wind-in-the-hair-feeling :) Used to have that SS album. Forgot about Sly and Robbie's contributions. I'm sure I have a Grace Jones Lp with them on it.The bass sounds like the way you want it. Great stuff.... Y...

Re: Quadral Chromium Style 8

Thanks! Have none off your own list but at least I've heard of them! Nice Jazz list too. I actually have an Alan Holdsworth thing with Bill Bruford which in turn reminds me of the only Brand X Lp I have called Unorthodox Behaviour which is brilliant. Any more ECM stuff? Jackie Leven? Robert Wyatt/S...

Re: Quadral Chromium Style 8

How did you get on with the Jazz & Folk? Those ribbon tweeters should be spine tingling on the Jazz anyway. What Jazz have you got? Not alone have I not got a chance to listen to some jazz/folk, I haven't even 'seen' my Quadrals over the last couple of days. Absolutely loved your folk list and ...

Re: Quadral Chromium Style 8

Thank God for them I say, what would we do without them! I've been enjoying the Quadrals totally on their own, just sitting on my home-made plinths and they didn't cost me anything! I got off that 'snake oil' train a long time ago. I am going to listen to some jazz LPs tomorrow I've done enough head...

Re: Quadral Chromium Style 8

My contention is: why would you want to decouple speakers from the floor? Then you're only hearing the loudspeaker itself along with the rest of the room of course. I don't think this is a good thing as, to my ears, rigidity/isolation does not enhance a sound unless you're looking for total neutral...

Re: Quadral Chromium Style 8

Yes, I checked out the Roy Buchanan link and I delved in a bit further and found out that the original US LP was cut by none other than the great Robert Ludwig (RL) at Sterling Sound. Now I would love to get my hands on a copy of that. I do remember having Roy's 1st LP but for some reason I sold it ...

Re: Quadral Chromium Style 8

Maybe your system heard you were thinking of changing and just doesn't want to move and is quite happy where it is, ha! Just want to point out something regarding the Quadrals. Traditionally loudspeakers come with rubber feet or spikes, the Quadrals have neither, there is just small circular felt (1...
