Natural Sound

[Tango]

Hello Tim,

I am sorry it took me so long to put this together. I do indeed have this recording. Here are two videos. They are long, about 10 minutes each because I wanted to get through to the bells in the first movement and some chorus as well as solos and orchestra to show the incredible complexity of the music.

The first video is with the vdH Colibri XPP mounted on the rear tonearm going through the SUT with an SME phono cable to the Lamm's MM input. The second video is with the vdH Colibri Master Signature on the front arm. They might not be recorded at quite the same volume given the different outputs.

Hi Peter,

Where is your Gran Cru now? How do you find your Gran Cru different to your XPP and the MS. You used to like the Gran Cru very much with your previous system. With your current system the Cran Cru sounds different from when it was in Magico/Pass?

Hello Tang,

I have a Colibrí “5R” Grand Cru cartridge. It was modified for low output. I got it back when I was using Jeff’s SPU. I installed it briefly to make sure it works but I’ve not had the time to put it in since.

The back arm on my turntable is the one for experimentation, and I will soon replace the XPP with the GC. I wanted to get some hours on the XPP because it only had about 50. Now perhaps 150.

It is really quite interesting. Some people really prefer the XPP in my system while others based on the videos above have told me they prefer the MS. I listen to the MS about 90% of the time. Al is coming over tonight to listen and I’ll ask him which one he’s interested in hearing. He preferred the XPP last time.

Bonzo's forum summary of the last 3 years is available for a subscription. It has heroes, villains, humour, violence, happy and tragic endings depending on philosophy. No Bollywood dances. Also Altec is gaining popularity on the forum.

Thank you Awsmone. It’s nice to see you back. Yes I suppose there have been some big changes. I’ll send you some interesting videos in a private message.

David has had so many girlfriends and lived in so many Countries in his younger years that he probably does not need Google Translate !

Hi Lagonda, you used google translate on your girlfriends? What do you think that tool does, exactly?

Regretfully most of my international wifes/girlfriends predate Google Translate, we had to resort to more primitive forms of communication !

Video for judging performance, can be used in more fields than audio !

I guess you communicated in absolute sounds language

Thank you everyone. That was a good diversion. Perhaps we can get back on topic now and you can take your business to a more private place.

Peter,
I'm working on speakers placement in my compromised room, and I have a question: where does the tweeter cross in your room? How many feet in front of your ears?

Once I build my dedicated room all will be fixed but I want to see if I can optimize my current room until it's built.

Hi Jeff,

My room is 16'w X 15'd. It is almost a square. The the corner horn placement in the corners, the axis crosses almost in the center of the room, which is 7.5' from front wall and 7.5' from back wall. My ears are about 18" in from the back wall, so I guess they cross about 6' in front of me. I have walked around the room. The sound is pretty even and the listening seat is not nearly as critical as it was with my old system.

Might be easier to adjust your chair to find the ideal tweeter balance
