The 1.2TL, Project Monolith

Garry glitter. Bring back the memories.Love it !

I'll check that out today

I lurk in the shadows on so many threads like this one. Putting energy and passion into SDA’s is always rewarding. Love it! The KLF comments reminded me that their release from a few years back “Come Down Dawn” is absolutely mind blowing on SDA’s. The album is a reworked version of their classic “Chill Out” which follows an imaginary trip from Brooklyn to Mexico City. It feels like it was remixed specifically for SDA! Almost constantly there are sounds and audible “objects” all around if you listen with your eyes closed. The steel guitar samples in “Baltimore to Fair Play” are haunting! What a trip! Well mixed. And the sub-sonics are sometimes very surprising in a very cool way. Give ‘er a whirl! I’m curious to hear your impressions. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks Fellas.There's nothing like a bit of a lurk through the threads.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to KLF"Last Train to Trancentral and Come Down Dawn"I look forward to another sitting when the noise floors lower in the evening this week.Its locked into Tidal and I'll be scrolling through all their play lists. Train To Trancentral,I can remember clubbing to this ...Pumping Memories .I found "Come Down Dawn"very relaxing.Love all the ambient sound effects from the train,steel guitar,to the sheep and bells.My wife's a Kiwi and she felt right at home with the BAAAAINNG going on.The subsonic sounds just cruise through the system I had no idea KLF was smashing it out from the late 80's and having the biggest selling singles act in the world in 1991. Impressive!
They certainly have a big following ,I've heard quite a few of their riffs over the years which I only just noticed whilst going through a few of their older recordings. I look forward to scrolling through more and hunting down some of their hidden mixes that were removed due to streaming licensing agreements.

I love the way music shakes our memories. Enjoy it while we can : )

cheers

Ever play any Talk Talk through them?

I’ve owned SDA’s and have served as intermediary for local sales and out of town folks. Talk Talk, The Colour of Spring is one of my demo albums in my Discwasher DiscKeeper record rack. Like a reviewer said, don’t worry if you hate ‘80’s music or haven’t listened to Talk Talk before. Talk Talk's synth-pop past disappeared with the release of their third studio album, The Colour of Spring in 1986.

The first track, Happiness is Easy features guitar, electric and acoustic bass, real drums, three live percussionists, organ by Steve Winwood, piano, Kurzweil synthesizer, a children’s choir along with Hollis’s distinctive nasally vocals. Happiness is Easy on SDA’s is like a masterclass in imaging.

Some of it with my 2013 system featuring active xover ESL’s. They sported transmission line bass modules delivering great bass.

1986 ,Steve Winwood’s smash hit .The SRS were only a year old .

I’m wondering if we can get a few other people’s measurements on the 1.2s to check for any variations in lengths ?

Im looking into using 1.25-1.5 Dia. Black Delrin too for damping and resonant characteristics vs. sand filled alloy.

Sounds good ,thumbs up.

I really wasn't expecting the lumin and lhy to change the speed ,depth and detail as much as they have, voices are just in a different league, a floating textured holographic image in complete darkness ! Most of all, I love the way peoples facial expressions change in disbelief when listening .Like a time warp...it just flies under the radar without you realising it.

Rings alone will not suffice, given the current internal aggressiveness of the monoliths!

I want to make sure @VR3's masterpiece ,no cost limit motto continues within the monoliths, hence, I must bring the 30 year old baffles into the 21st century.I wish I could visualise Vr3's handy work all day long. I'm getting dowels

No rush ,do it once ,do it right,make it versatile and most of all "overkill"

Still looking for that " tape measure , we do mm which is much more precise ; )

Have a listen to another Aussie classic on SDA's while I continue looking.

This is a nice cable

From the Luminu2x -to the Soon to be replaced Jlti oppo205 ! New dac will be a ???
This SInope SE cable is replacing an Audioquest diamond .75

After ten hours I’m very impressed,sounds more dynamic with very Airy highs , tighter deeper textured bass and the midrange is very holographic becoming effortless ,Liquid almost
I’m finding the more upgrades I’m doing ,the better control the Monoliths bottom end has , it feels like more energy and control is focusing into the midrange and top end.

The Audioquest is no slouch though ,I feel it’s a bit more analytical and in my face than the SInope,I loved the AQ for the 6 weeks I had it and highly recommend it !

That'd fix my printer problem.[/
Will .75 be long enough for your printer?
