Hi all ya!

[tunepirate]

New from Sweden, interested in the Beresford dacs!!

I discern music equipment with tune dem..

My mission in the hifi world is to get brands to start to make hifi equipment for music instead of for sound.

For music to sound correct out of a hifi system not only the neutrality, sound stage, bass and the details needs to be in place, but most of all the timing, and musical part of the transparency needs to be in place!

The only brands so far that guarantee you better timing if you pay more, are grado, lejonklou, alpine and Linn... maybe naim.. I want there to be more brands to chose from!

hi, welcome

So what's "tune dem"

[tunepirate]

Hi again!
My name is Cristian and I use
an e-mu 0404 and a denon dvd-1720 for source.

The rest of the system is a Sherwood rd-7500 receiver and Kef Cresta 10
speakers!

All except the sources were picked out together with linn dealers, for being extra ordinary musical for it's price range. I called them up and asked what were the best non-linn non-naim equipment they'd heard when it comes to transparency in the timing area. And I got these recommended-

It was a massive uppgrade, from the onkyo etc stuff i had

My dvd was still cool though..

Tune Dem is a method developed by linn to help detect degree of timing errors in the equipment. You can't eliminate timing problems in your system but you can minimize it by carefully chose the best products with help of tune dem.
Tune dem is really just a name for listening how the music is playing together.
The less timing problems in each part the more swing you will enjoy from your whole system!

Cheers!

Hello! Welcome to AoS. Now worried I might have timing problems - how can I tell?

Hi Christian, and welcome.

I'm afraid I have no clue of what you're talking about when you mention "timing", as I'm still with my '70s way of seeing hifi things, apart from audio streaming, of course...
But I will try to understand, I promise.

Hi Christian and welcome

So do you aspire to a full Linn system one day !

i have been to a few Linn dem's in my time ' and of course the tune is important in a piece of music ' but i can follow a tune quite easily on a cheap tranny radio ' when i look to buy more expensive hifi kit ' i want more than just a good tuneful sound .

I want my system to try an convey the illusion of musicians performing in front of me ' an impossible task ' yes it probably is but i heard a Horn based system at Scalford that got very close ! and i can tell you it was at times quite breathtaking .
