After months of running in the speakers the system finally started to sound great. Then I had one of those terrifying experiences where the whole system started to sound crap. I knew it was probably just a phase but needed to move the system anyways. I was hoping tidying up cables etc. might fix it but it WAS - of course - just phase... Anyway - this makes it much easier to change cables and lets the light in from the window previously a bit obscured by a high-back couch... Oh and don't worry, it is back sounding great again.... Just a .....
New view from the listening chair:
To lower the rack in order to fit it in front of the window I split the rack in two by sawing the 3 threaded rods in half. My dad made the shelves which are just 22 mm MDF with clear spayed lacquer.

The Dynavector P75MkII is not hooked up as of yet but will be up running again soon...

Looking good, Claus, although this made me shudder:
It might be time for a curtain upgrade next...Claus wrote:Then I had one of those terrifying experiences where the whole system started to sound crap.

Do or do not, there is no try
Re: A new view... of not so new stuff...
Yeah I thought I was going insane there for a few days... I nearly asked if I could borrow an amp to see if my amp had gone funny again. But fortunately it is ok again. I tried inserting my old home made cat5 based TNT Triple T and I could not hear a difference. Will try and go back to the chinese silver cables again and see if I can hear an effect...Diapason wrote:Looking good, Claus, although this made me shudder:

Re: A new view... of not so new stuff...
I'd humbly suggest you leave it alone. If that system (incl cables) sounded good before then it will again. Give it another few days before you make changes.Claus wrote:Yeah I thought I was going insane there for a few days... I nearly asked if I could borrow an amp to see if my amp had gone funny again.

The speakers are Focal 1028Be.
The NUC is delayed from minipc.de so it looks like the end of the month before PC playback enters the realm...
Thanks guys!
