Late Night Listening

[Ninanina]

I am convinced that listening late at night my system sounds better, anyone agree???

And I have strange bed fellows: Audio Note Oto & Klipsch... they seem to be getting on really well

:scratch::scratch:

[synsei]

I would agree with that Bev, although my other half has commandeered the system just now as she is watching Lord Of The Dance.

For me it has more to do with less ambient sounds such as traffic late at night, also i tend to be more relaxed in the evening after work and chores etc. I don't think it is my system that sounds better late at night, it sounds the same in the day.

[Ninanina]

Yeah .... maybe I'm just more chilled..... a little tipple maybe helping too :glug:

[jollyfix]

Hi Bev, are the klipsch new? How do they differ from the Audio note speakers?

[Ninanina]

Hi Dave
No the Klipsch are far from new, they are about 1990/92 vintage

The Audio Note's were absolutely fantastic when I heard them at the place I picked them up from (a larger room) but unfortunately they just didn't suit my room

The Klipsch are super smooth which I didn't expect because a set of Heresey's I owned years ago were anything but smooth !!

I have not been over to Orthanc recently to see if his Dunn'ness has noticed yet, I really should ;)

[steveledzep]

There’s a theory that the mains is cleaner with less demand on the national grid. I’m not sure about that, but I prefer listening late at night.

I listen in very low light, usually with just the turntable cueing light on. I think the biggest contributor is the heavy drapes over the french doors.

Come to think of it, I don’t listen in the day anyway !

Really??? :rfl:

[Ninanina]

Shame cos I love Tommy Cooper.....


:lol::lol::lol:

[synsei]

Jus' like that... huh, huh... :D

[Ninanina]

Bottle glass, glass bottle.....:lol:

[Ninanina]

I have a strange urge to try some Heresey's again as I have a feeling they might like the AN Oto

I'm finding the Oto really superb after years in mothballs...

[synsei]

If you do and you like 'em, I may make you an offer for your current JBL's although picking them up will be a major op.

[Ninanina]

I don't have any JBL's

I have the following:

Sterling Broadcast LS 3/5a's in Rosewood ...mint
Audio Note AN-K Silver Wired
Royd Minstrels - Walnut (definitely not for sale)
Wharfedale Linton 2 - going cheap
Klipsch KG3's - currently using

Oh my god, far too many speakers :)

[Ninanina]

If I leave them too much longer I'm sure they will start breeding ;)

[walpurgis]

Don't do it Nina! The Hereseys as you know are bit bit rough round the edged sonically. All you'll get with the Oto is good quality 'rough round the edges'.

[Ninanina]

You are probably right Geoff. I've had them before and found them a bit rough but it's so tempting as the Oto is soooo smooth

[walpurgis]

The Oto deserves a pair of good Tannoys!

[Ninanina]

Had a pair of DMT 15's but didn't get on with them. Didn't try them on the Oto tho

I meant Klipsch :doh: :lol:

[walpurgis]

DMT 15 is not one of Tannoy's greatest efforts. But some will compliment any good sweet sounding amplifier. Mine sound incredible!

[southall-1998]

Bev is your Oto an EL-84 amp?

[Ninanina]

Yes SET EL84

[Ninanina]

Dave I'm sure we could come to some agreement re: Klipsch KG3's

They are playing some superb Katie Malua at mo

[synsei]

Since the re-cap my amp has lost all its low level charm so I've had to put a stop to late night sessions :(

[Ninanina]

That's a shame Dave...:(

[Ninanina]

I feel like going for a blast in the car with the top down...... Now that'd be really silly

And probably wet too.....

Just fancy it......

[synsei]

I am hoping it is a temporary situation which will be remedied once the caps have had a chance to burn in properly. They were installed on Friday so there is still hope.

[Ninanina]

What's the output of your amp Dave?

[synsei]

15wpc

I used to do that when I had a soft top --- night time was always the best!

[Ninanina]

Yeah Dave it's so strange

Better not do it now, had a coupe of drinks but I might try it tomorrow

It must be odd at night :lol:

[Ninanina]

Dave 15w isn't too much is it

I think you may like the Klipsch. They pick up everything, including all the subtleties your amp can throw at it

[synsei]

Must be a valve thing but it sounds a hell of a lot more than that, it can comfortably drive the DM2's to high SPL's and gives a real sense of scale to orchestral works, something the similarly rated Mini-T I used before struggled to do ;)

[Marco]

Really??? :rfl:

Yes, really! The thick old coont. Perhaps you should educate him as to the real purpose of your avatar? :eyebrows:

Anyone we know who could use that as their anthem? ;)
