If it was 20th Sep then one of the 2.43 releases would have been the latest & probably the one we usedtony wrote: To answer Pearse's question I think it was 2.53 but it could be as far back as 2.44.Hopefully Nigel or John can remember. Of course the date should close that down. Check start date of this thread as it was probably the version released at that time.Sbgk can advise too?
How different is the coding from that time? Pearse's view does demonstrate you need a base point to reference but I do concur with what Clive said some of the last few I listened to were getting back to Jplay area. Now can't do it tonight but maybe if I compare some of these versions to Jplay I might be eating humble pie. I think a meet up when sbgk gets through these instructions to see if a consensus could emerge comparing it to well agreed existing components. i.e Pearse's turntable and maybe Simon's wadia?
Also it is amazing to see how critical we can become when one looks how far things have moved since early jplay and one laptop.

the 2.62 should have more bass than 2.60, sounds like it's too much.Clive wrote:Definitely swings and roundabouts between 2.60 cp and the 2.62 versions.
I notice my solid floor vibrating, or it's my shoes.....but I do have four 15" bass drivers (dipole).
Re: MQN
Ok it was the 19th then. Gordon are there dramatic changes since then? I can't do it tonight but will have a listen to the vintage 2.43's tomorrow evening to see if they still retain the moment of magic on that night.

I think the bass is different rather than more or less. Possibly rax is best but it needs many tracks with good bass to ferret out the truth.sbgk wrote:the 2.62 should have more bass than 2.60, sounds like it's too much.Clive wrote:Definitely swings and roundabouts between 2.60 cp and the 2.62 versions.

very much doubt if its better than where we are now
we need a meet see if we can get a consensus
opinions varying a lot, difficult for sbgk to get direction

Maybe just different I know the version I listened to today that I liked using Buddy holly the vocals holographic to my wooly ears and brain. But will go back and compare 2.43 to it just to see.
A meet up is easier as there can be two dacs to allow quick ab forget about the x as we don't want to be found out!
