Earl Klugh won the SQ crown. SQ* Jeff Beck had great treble and bass but the mids were recessed. Cocker(live) recording was aggressive in nature but fits the artist. Great version of St. James Infirmary Blues!

Thanks Spencer much appreciated. Today was some good Pink Floyd. The Final Cut and The Division Bell Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys And one more time, Steely Dan - Everything Must Go AP/QRP 45rpm. I have never heard my system sound so good. Really looking forward to having more than 100 hours on the speakers. Only 8 hours thus far, and they are really something! |
@mammothguy54 Great to read about your new toys, Joel. Basie Jam and any Dan is a super session too! |

I'm not certain if it were actually my speakers that were on display at Pacific Audio Fest. If so, I was not advised of it, but I'll take the added hours for break-in. Those are the very model though, for sure. Apollo 11, V-3. They are sounding quite nice today. I can tell that from where they are, the break-in process will yield even more sonic bliss to come. By light years, these are the best speakers in my life. Today I blended some new ones that I just received along with those I have listened to recently. The week ahead will be filled with hours of pleasure. 😊 Count Basie - Basie Jam The double bass has never sounded so good on my system. Just outstanding plucks of the strings, that just jumps out at you. Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Raincoat Impex reissue, Limited Edition 825/1,000. The Oscar Peterson Trio - We Get Requests Verve, Acoustic Sounds Series. Michael Hedges - Aerial Boundaries The speed of these speakers is lightning quick. Michael Hedges snaps those strings, and they smack you in the face. Loggins & Messina - Full Sail Direct-Disc Labs, Super Disc. I've had this since 1974. Steely Dan - Everything Must Go AP/QRP 45rpm. These two Steely Dan reissues from AP/QRP recently are really something special. The music is great, as is all Steely Dan. The sonics are absolutely stunning. |
Hey guys, my sister and brother-in-law now living at my house during their transition from Hawaii back to the mainland puts a hamper on my ability to have some quiet and quality listening time. My sister, in particular, is a loudmouth and just won't shut up. It is beyond annoying. But I am doing the right thing in helping family. Hopefully they will make their move (out of my house) in the next 1 to 3 weeks. It's been a challenge. Nevertheless, what I am doing is listening to a variety of albums that I have listened to most recently. That provides me with the most recent memory of sound quality for those albums. I am also looking to experience these speakers for human voice and wind/string instruments, wanting to hear truer tonal qualities. I'll explore other music as I begin to get past those albums. Yesterday I got in 3. Phoebe Snow - Second Childhood Eric Clapton - Unplugged Jethro Tull - This Was The new speakers, Daedalus Audio, model Apollo 11 V-3, out of the box are quite good and a step above my previous set of Dynaudio, Contour 60i. Midrange and the top end are far more realistic sounding. Female vocals are just so much more natural and acoustic guitar has much better natural tonal qualities. The bass and mid bass, as expected, have a lot of breaking-in to go. The warmth and depth in that frequency range is a bit strident and lacking the deeper frequencies. But again, as expected. Lou Hinckley (owner of Daedalus Audio) advised me that would be my experience. He said that the mechanical break-in time for the drivers is north of 100 hours and for the crossover electronics and wiring loom is closer to 300 + hours. I have a long way to go. But honestly, I already hear a lot of what I was looking for in tonality. And that's with just 1 1/2 hours of playing time. Of course, I also have a lot of experimenting to do with placement. My room doesn't allow for a great amount of change to positioning. But even an inch or two this way, that way, etc. can make a difference. I placed furniture glides/sliders under the footer spikes so I can make those changes more easily. These speakers are large and are very heavy. Those spikes and that weight on carpeting/padding, and down to the concrete floor makes for a much greater challenge to move than by having them on the sliders. I lose some of the benefit of coupling to the concrete floor, but once I feel I have the best location the sliders will be removed, and the spikes coupling to the concrete floor should provide a bit more of an advantage. I have good opportunity for several hours of listening time today. I'll get back and offer some further information. In addition to the sonics, these speakers are stunningly beautiful works of woodcraft art. I mean, WOW, they are absolutely gorgeous. I'll get pictures updated on my system page sometime soon. |
