    Impressions: Bluesound Powernode (4G) with KEF LS50 Meta.

    Putting together a stereo system from scratch, one that ticks off all the possible boxes, is near impossible. Many a frown already from the audience, but consider these alone as those that are generally the most important. Functionality ? what are my needs in terms of source and component...

    Thanks. The panels are from Oxland acoustics, great service from them, picking up these that I?ve had for years and reupholstering them to fit in better with the decor. 10 panels in total. If you really want to know the difference they make? try living without them after having had them up for...

    Much has changed. The detail thereof I don?t feel like going into, but from a massive system down to something very simplistic. A pair of KEF LS50 Meta speakers, a pair of 4th generation Bluesound Powernode integrated streamer/dac/amplifiers (the 2nd running an outdoor entertainment area), and...

    Open baffles - my introduction and the R909?s.

    Thank you all for such amazing responses to the rebuild. It makes me really happy to read your positive feedback, and acknowledgement of the level of detail that went into it. Requests have been made for me to review draw some comparisons against speakers I?ve previously owned and spent...

    Seeing that we can't do live performances at the moment...

    Wow! That is some truly impressive talent right there. I?ll be having me a pressing please! Congratulations on such a great piece. I?m looking forward to hearing the rest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spin Fair this Sunday 28. Feb. 2021.

    Another great fair, the likes of Mike and Wayne doing their level best to successfully fill my bags and drain my bank account! I must have picked up around 30 albums... some real gems too. Many thanks to all involved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    3way speaker comparisons entry and mid range.

    Kudos to you for taking up the challenge, and so quickly. Is there a shift in the way each presents their sonic signature? Probably... I think so, based on a very quick comparison. For me, the principle of recording with a microphone (no matter how good) the sound of one system / speakers and...

    3way speaker comparisons entry and mid range.

    It?s worth noting that using a static mic position and doing an A / B comparison where one pair sits on the outer vs the other in the inside is going to perhaps produce a potentially incomparable result. The width and impact of the competition placed right alongside is going to have an impact...

    Can Dolby ATMOS replace stereo

    Good question! I'll offer a resounding NO! In the endless depths of musical history, a small percentage stand out as those that are exceptional. I wouldn't mess with that. Stereo music is meant to be just that, stereo music, recorded in a studio as such. (Mostly) Replicating a true experience...

    Can Dolby ATMOS replace stereo

    You know what they say about opinions being like something else, and how everybody has one... At the risk of thread derailment, I have noticed a trend over time in the way opinion camps form into echo-chambers. Analogue vs. digital, cable debates, Multichannel vs. Stereo. I only mention it...

    Open baffles - my introduction and the R909?s.

    No - you didn?t miss any review of their sound. I had intended to spend a week or two with them first, then decide if what I was hearing warranted the effort and costs associated with a rebuild. It took two days, and I didn?t need to hear more. Once back, I?ll give feedback after settling in...
