Hi Fredrik, I really have to hear these files on a top notch system. If the above summary holds up, those files can influence the decision on what record cleaning machine (and fluids) to purchase. Yes, you really have to listen to those files on a good system - and I think they will make you get a H...

Hi all, just listened to Klaus´ new files - which was great fun (like always). I don´t think it is possible to come to a valuable verdict using a pc/laptop. Even with a MDSI you can get the point, I think (and of course I have tried) - but with a KDS/1 the differences become really stunning. Klaus´r...

Just listened to Klaus files. The difference is really stunning - there´s so much more room and space to the music, bass is a lot deeper and clearer, sound of instruments more natural and separation between instruments much more precise. All these improvement on "sound quality" add substantially to ...

Re: Comparing Hi-Fi Supports

So, I've two thoughts following all this. One, the TimeTable may well be better than I gave it credit for, because the AudioTech is also worse than my Isoblue. Secondly, either the Isoblue is amazing (which I doubt) or the room can greatly effect whether a heavy rack or lightweight table is best, e...

Hi hcl,

interesting report. Can you post a picture of your NAS table?
Do you have a direct lan connection between NAS-Switch-DS or is the any powerlan adapter involved?

So I feel that anyone with Klimax level components really should have Mimers under source components like DS, disc players, Radikals, etc. and also under the KK. I have not yet done the comparison on power amps and understand the improvement to be less there so Tors are likely sufficient. I have al...

Hi Fredrik, thank you for your explanation. I suspected that only high torque settings can cause damage. I´ll start at below 0.8 then. My torque going from 0.3-1.2 Nm even has .05 steps. The one above 1.2 has .1 steps. Once I have found the general peaks I´ll try smaller steps though I´m not sure th...

The torque settings you would use on the 20 you would have to find by ear. For one thing Sturtevant-Richmont only guarantee the accuracy to plus or minus 6% and we have found differences of as little as one or two HUNDREDTHs of a Nm to be musically important. Furthermore, the drivers in your ATC 20...

I think Fredrik raises a very important point when saying that it is necessary to find the right balance of filtering. I have tried both lenghts (about 1 and 2 m) of his Power One power cord in my system and the shorter length makes the music sound more dynamic. The only thing I tried that made the ...

Hi all, I´ve heard comparisions of both ADSes and KDSes with and without ferrite cores and each time I preferred the ones without. In both situations the music became much more rhythmic and dynamic - much more "alive" one could say. It didn´t become nervous at all - provided that one compared it to ...

As far as I know there have been some changes with the Timetable since the beginning in 2006/2007 (different connection between the legs and the frame, different bolts) but it is generally not upgradeable like the Harmonihyllan.

Hi Music Lover, you´re right - the difference in sound was very stunning as well. We listened to a 1965 Tete Montoliu Trio tune ("Israel" from "A Tot Jazz"/FreshSound-Concentric) going from Odin to Tor to Mimer with the KDS. Each time the bassist Eric Peter became louder, easier to follow and cleare...

Of course a short cable would mean that at least the amps will have to be placed between or even directly at the speakers. I´ve read several times that people recommend placing the system at the side of the room (some even say: as far away from the speakers as possible) and as I recall most Linn ret...
