crtexcnndrm99 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Room shenanigans continue. Swapped the system to the opposite end of the room this evening. As @cheekyboy hinted, the extra distance between speakers (and a tad more from front wall) was well worth it. Letting things settle before fine tuning speaker and sub positioning. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @cheekyboy hinted, the extra distance between speakers (and a tad more from front wall) was well worth it. Letting things settle before fine tuning speaker and sub positioning. Hello 99, that move around looks like it has helped and your speakers will certainly image better in that new position. They look like they are now 1 - 1.5 mts out from the wall behind, first reflections should not be an issue either with the various bits of furniture on both sides that will break that up nicely. Are your speakers sealed or vented and if vented, is the port on the front or rear baffle? If they’re sealed or front ported, you may find you could move them back a bit and get the left side of the RHS speaker in behind the corner of the piano, without any great impact on the sound and that may allow you to get them a little bit further apart. You just need to keep experimenting with layout and it does take time to change, monitor, change again and again until you get it right. Just over three years ago I moved into much smaller digs and I now have two fairly large speaker systems in a living room that is 3.5 x 5.5 mts, so you may have to compromise a bit, but you can achieve a great sound in a small room.

Galactic Soap Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 @MachineMastering - That's a Line Magnetic LM-512ca preamp: https://www.line-magnetic.eu/en/products-line-magnetic-en/vacuum-tube-preamplifier-line-magnetic-en/lm-512ca-préamplificateur-tubes-6kz8,-6922,-rca-22de4-detail Its a 240v version designed for the Australian market I picked up from Bill McLean. It's imparted depth and layering to my system that I was yet to experience. This year has seen a bit of a wholesale change in components. At the start of the year my system had the following components: DAC + Upsampler: Chord DAVE & Blu Mk2 TRANSPORT: Lumin U1 Mini PREAMP: Accuphase C2820 AMPLIFIER: Accuphase A70 CABLES: Top of the range Audioquest interconnects & along with their best all copper speaker cable SPEAKERS: TAD CR-1 Now my system is made up of: DAC'S: Reimyo DAP-999LTD + Audion Note Kits DAC 5.1 Signature TRANSPORT - Primare NP5 + Schiit Eitr PREAMP: Line Magnetic LM512ca AMPLIFIER: March Audio NC1200 Hypex Mono's CABLES: Mogami Gold interconnects + Shunyata Anaconda speaker cables SPEAKERS: TAD CR-1 I'm finding the change in components has introduced an increase in musicality. The components I had earlier were excellent, and there's no doubt that the previous incarnation of my system had higher resolution, but with the introduction of tubes I'm enjoying my system more than I have in the past. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
