Maybe you need someone to hold your hand and drink your Whisky, Mike. Now we can visit other people’s homes, I could drop in sometime. I am a ‘Prescott’ as far as the vaccine goes. I am currently auditioning a pair of Shahinian Obelisks in my system. Fortunately it doesn’t really matter where you put them, they just sound musical. They are on castors, so easy to move around to try in different locations. I never really managed to get good results with Tunedem. I have mentioned it many times in this forum that SO (1&2) just never does it for me. My system ALWAYS sounds better with SO off. Until Paul can get back across the pond, this will remain the case. I agree that once the bass is right, everything else falls in to place. Find a song with a good baseline and once you can follow the baseline with ease AND it gets your toes tapping, you will be there. My song of choice for this is ‘Circuital’ by ‘My Morning Jacket’ (the bass doesn’t come in for a while) but I am sure you have plenty of Jazz tracks with good bass lines. My main advice to you though, is don’t dwell on it too long or it will spoil your enjoyment or actually listening to your music.
