Sharing some audio recordings from my listening session this past weekend


My OKTAN6 system based on my six-way horn loudspeakers, with custom field coil compression and mid-bass drivers, is sounding great with all genres of music. The music is streamed from Tidal and played back with HQPLAYER at DSD1024x48. Here are a couple of audio recordings from this past weekend’s listening session (please playback at 1080p resolution for best results):

Vanessa and some friends dropped by for a session.  Nice to have the room to accommodate them all.

This is an SACD on an Oppo-95 through a Yamaha RX-Z9 RECEIVER in
"Pure Direct" mode through the two inner speakers of my design/build.  There is no eq or room correction, either electronic of physical, fancy cables or wires, or sub being used.

Can’t Let Go

 

Last night was another listening session on my Pinnacle horn system, with the custom field-coil compression drivers. The system sounded even better to my ears this week with greater focus and slightly more dynamic. This is a more “musical” system with a sound that allows for long term enjoyment, without listening fatigue, and doesn’t pull your brain in to hyper focus on any particular attribute of the sound. And as such I was not able to do audio recordings of the system as I complete forgot about it because I was so drawn in and lost in the music; I listen to a wide range of musical genre last night and frankly it was random and all over the place, including songs that I had not listen to in years, some perhaps decades.

But I do have some audio recordings left over from the listening session the week before and this one is one of my favorites (play back at 1080p for best results):
