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.

I notice my solid floor vibrating, or it's my shoes.....but I do have four 15" bass drivers (dipole).

the 2.62 should have more bass than 2.60, sounds like it's too much.

If it was 20th Sep then one of the 2.43 releases would have been the latest & probably the one we used

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.

weird im happy not to listen to 2.62 again not good,
2.62 rax might deserve more trial

either 2.43 or 2.43 r11


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!
