"Ievan polkka" (Finnish for "Ieva's Polka") is a Finnish song with lyrics printed in 1928 and written by Eino Kettunen to a traditional Finnish polka tune. The song is sung in an Eastern Savonian dialect spoken in North Karelia. It is sung from the point of view of a young man, about a woman called Ieva (dialectal for the name Eva or Eeva in standard Finnish) who sneaks out and dances the polka...

The sweet fruits of your endeavour can finally be consumed.
Hi from Toronto ☕️ I run my Wiim Pro to my Denafrips Ares DAC. Tubes are temperamental .. but worth the effort! Have a great weekend
Dat ziet er weer netjes uit ivar. Ik heb gisteren grote schoonmaak gedaan met mijn setup. Kan e4 weer een half jaar tegenaan. Alvast een heel fijn weekend. Gr André de vries.
"...it is long, it is nerdy, it is completely made for you guys...' Lol, love it, let's go!
Could your remind us of the name or manufacturer of the foam material you are using below your rack to decouple floor vibrations? Thanks!
Hello Friend. Everything starts lookin better and better. Nice job
Hey, youre using an Audion Silver Night 300B.. very nice amp.. great for being able to do side by side audio comparisons
@@graemeaudion Thanks. I love my Silver Night 😉👍
Hats off ! what a great idea 😊
Nice detective work. Been there when you rearrange a system or add a new component and then when you get it all going, it sounds terrible. Such a letdown. For me it's usually a cable that goes bad. Good luck in locating the bad tube.
I like this new series of vlogs 🎉
@@roball1980 Thanks. These kind of comments help me to keep doing them 👍
I have something very similar to guid some of my cables and I use chosticks.
@@eliad2 Good thinking. It took me way too long to figure out a system like this. But now I love it.
Unfortunatelly my visit in Amsterdan lasts 4 hours inside Amsterdan Schiphol Airport. I wish next time have oportunity to visit your country (real visit)...
you should, it's one of the most beautiful countries in the world!! 🙌
@@Unavintage Yes you should. I teach at Schiphol every now and then. Let me know next time you are around 👍
Helder en duidelijk uitgelegd. Ben zelf als de dood voor rare brom etc. in mijn audio installatie omdat ik niet het geduld heb om alles uit te zoeken. Om die reden wijzig ik niets in mij set up...Een kennis met hele goede oren hoorde laatst een hele zachte brom uit de subs komen...Gelukkig hoorde ik die zelf niet!
@@benfromhaarlem6617 Dankjewel. Ik zat er ook niet op te wachten om helemaal uit te gaan zoeken, maar het is niet anders. Als blijkt dat het inderdaad alleen maar een voorversterker buisje is dan is het simpel en goedkoop op te lossen.
As someone whose cable management is best described as “spaghetti entropy”, well done with your project, Ivar. I wish I had your patience. Painting the peg board darker might make sense if you were looking at it while in your listening position. Things got a lot less messy here in the US over the wknd🤞🏻
@@likesnoozn 😀 I hope the mess is finally coming to an end.
RE: “This did not go as planned” - An experiment is made to test a hypothesis, not to prove a point. Thanks for sharing your experimental process with us. You are helping me to have realistic expectations for my own audio experiments! 🎉❤👍👍
Sound wonderful. This speakers or sound artist ls3/5a for nearfield desktop listening? What you would choose in the end?
@@majsterV I would choose the Mite (but it has been a very long time ago that I had the ls3/5a in my house).
@@theaudiophilebarista2424 No worries, thanks for answer👍 I need new desktop speakers and through sound demos i like both, as i prefer tonality over super accurate freq response and both of those speakers are known for inviting tonality. Are there any other speaker with similar good tonality you experience through audio journey, that you would recommend for nearfield listening ?
What speakers are those? :)
Calliope.21 by Ocellia
@@theaudiophilebarista2424 Wow... A very rare breed of speakers! Are you happy with them?
Sounds good over YT, but what are your opinions of the DAC in the WiiM? As I posted to you before, my first thoughts looking at it are to use the coax out rather than the analog out and replace the tiny switched-mode power supply with a linear, regulated supply.
@@terrywho22 Hi my friend. As I am busy with all the other projects in my house I have not taken the time yet to really experiment with the WiiM. And there is no seperate dac in this system, so I have to go analog. However, for reasons I will address in another summervlog, I had the WiiM connected to the Audion poweramp and the Ocellia's. That gave me some new insights that I will share in the vlog 😉
Great idea for audiophile duster, thanks!
Hoi ivar. Die plaat werkt heel mooi met al die gaatjes. Ideaal voor al jou kabels. En een goede tip voor anderen met heel veel kabels. Fijn weekend en tot de volgende video. Gr André de vries.
amazing video super interesting!! Thanks!! 🙌
I would like to point out that you did not use the 'transfer mode', represented by the icon of a square with an arrow pointing inwards. In this way the music signal does not directly travel to the 6000N, but the 6000N acts like an end-point reciever not a true streamer, your phone or tablet doing the actual streaming. So it travels inderectly thru your tablet or phone, not an ideal situation I would think. Or the other way round, use the transfer mode, and the primary signal is handed of and runs thru the 6000N, your phone or tablet acts only as an remote. This may elevate the sonic performance of the 6000N...
Good point, thanks for sharing 👍 However, as this unit is in use by my girlfriend this is not an issue because she does not use a tablet or her phone for this. She actually only uses the 6 buttons. That is why this is the perfect streamer for her.
With the Repulblican National Convention freak show going on here in the US, your daily vlogs are a really nice escape and always interesting. Thanks, Ivar. P.S. Democracy lovers are shitting in their pants with the prospect of the convicted felon back in power again🤬
@@likesnoozn Thanks my friend. Yes. It is a real mess right now in America. Hope it will turn out for the best because a second term is going to be a real problem.
You are trying to escape politics by posting politically charged comments on an audio site? Do as you will, but it seems like you are more interested in sharing your political opinions than escaping.
@@terrywho22you’re wrong, but that’s ok.
Hoi ivar. Mooi om te zien dat alles aangesloten is. Fijn weekend. Gr André de vries.
Thank you for the research, I feel my black CDT sounds so amazing I could forgive it the odd scratch.
I have a CDT6000 and love it. My 30yr old NAD CD died so I had to get it. I play it through a Schiit Modi Multibit 2 DAC, Schiit Lyr 2 pre amp, Schiit Gjallarhorn power amp into Royd Herald or Minstrel speakers. Lovely sound. I did a comparison with my Phillips Bluray BDP3000 and the CDT6000 whooped it both using coax out into Modi Multibit. Very happy.
Sounds like the chipmunks
Hoi ivar. Ik zie dat het eind in zicht is. Ideaal die blower ik gebruik altijd een kleefdoek van swiffer omdat wij geen ventilatie systeem hebben. Die plaat met gaatjes is ideaal zeker als je veel kabels hebt. Gr André de vries.
Move the dust to somewhere else.
@@Niels133 The ventilation system 😉
Thank You, fun as always ❤
Altijd van je af snijden.
Absurd that companies will go after reviewers that give honest opinions. Instead of finding out what they didn't like about it and attempting to improve the product, they immediately threaten the reviewer with lawsuits. Good on the sites and vendors that break off relations with these companies: they are doing the consumer a HUGE favor. So any idea if the DAC in the WiiM is any good? My first thoughts looking at it are to use the coax out rather than the analog out and replace the tiny switched-mode power supply with a linear, regulated supply... or maybe with something like an iFi power 2.
These lawsuits from audio manufacturers are just bullquack tbh. Reviews are opinions and trying to stop them will only amplify them.
Thank You. Nice, interresting vlogs, great for lazy hot days. Cheers
Lamm❤ best as always
Once again, another non-sensical video about the unproven idiocy of double terminals. I have yet to read, see, or hear anything that validates the improvement in the sound of speakers that are bi-wired. Those cheap straps make no sense, and even less if they come with a pricey, high quality pair of speakers. Stupid is as stupid does.
Your opinion is noted 👍 @1:20
To see you start off with everything everywhere to a tidy apartment should make for some interesting blogs. Do some timelapse! Your girlfriend must love how your place looks right now😮.
love these videos!! Very interesting and give us many new ideas 🙌
Streamer in the box?
De grote vraag is, hoe heb je nu die bank boven gekregen?
@@M-P-X ladderlift vanaf de straat 😉
Hoi ivar. Geweldig jou nieuwe bank. Zo te zien ben je nog wel even bezig. Ben benieuwd naar de volgende video’s. Alvast een heel fijn weekend. Gr André de vries.
Alot of work 😊 thake it easy and hvae a nice weekend 🎼☕
Hi, I just received my R8 last week ( June 28, 2024) after only a 2 week wait. I purchased from China HiFi on EBay for $1,380.66 plus TAX, but no extra for shipping. I did receive the new improved updated version. I had a few questions, and I got them answered the next day. I've got 12 hours on the amp now (EL34), and it's great, and getting better with each listening session.
I went to buy some speakers. I brought a source and amp to test them with. The seller had a disconnected jumper. When I tested them they heard them like never before and didn't want to sell them anymore. I recommend using the connector of the High or the positive and the Low for the negative. That way if the jumper isn't connected there will be NO SOUND instead of just woofer or tweeter.
It's nice you left a path to your espresso maker!
I appreciate your work in finding the perfect HiFi setup for your needs and desires. Especially can relate to having more devices than there are inputs on the (pre)amplifier and am very interested in seeing another tour of the little room when you’re done!
Hoi ivar. Wauw je bent druk bezig zeg. Ik vind je bank geweldig ben erg benieuwd hoe alles er uit gaat zien als je klaar bent. Alvast een heel goed weekend. Gr André de vries.
I like that multi-switch. Very convenient. Cheers!
Now wondering how the old couch got in there in the first place 😁. Ge kunt er de kont niet keren zou mijn vader hebben gezegd over de kleine kamer.
I purchased these today at a local thrift store here in Haarlem. Probaly owned by a smoker because the loudspeaker cables were dark brown. I got them clean for the most part with Dasty. The stands weren't there and the grills are dented. I am wondering if i can get the grills of somehow to bend them back into shape?
@@theaudiosenseinl Hi. Nice score. I love these little speakers 👍 You can get the grill off, but not from the front. You have to open up from the rear and then undo the screw inside. I have seen it, but never have done it myself. Let me know how it went?
@@theaudiophilebarista2424 Yes, before your reply i saw a video of another Grundig Hi-Fi Box (510). And that make me open mine. Now the grill is fixed as well.🙂
@@theaudiosenseinl Thanks for sharing 👍
