got my 2 mugs today - that was fast delivery to Germany! The mugs have been packed carefully and arrived in perfect condition ... and even more they look good. Thank you for the initiative.

I agree with you to 100% - I was surprised that I ...

I really like that and appreaciate your efforts - call me in for at least one mug.
Hope you dont hate me for the next question: are you also thinking about a black one with white or silver letters.

My view of the two changes you made to your LP12 is that the Ekos SE/1 dramatically improves the musicality, while the Karousel makes a big change to the sound character. What I am reading in your comment is that you are not convinced that Karousel is improving on musicality? Or is that a wrong ass...

I didnt felt it like a competition but I know that I trust your ears - so your take is kinda like a benchmark for me.
And as I want to get more consistent with my opinion it helps me.

hi Thomas thank you for bringing this up - I got real unhappy because when I heard the clips I also preferred option 2 the first round. Than beck wrote he preferred option 1 so I gave up. Maybe there is still hope?

good comparison and I am impressed how good your CD Player sounds in comparison to the LP12 - all your efforts payed out - thats great to hear

you are right Charlie, my LP is still on a Lack Table but I got now inspired by light metal frame coffee tables which I would like to modify with spikes and an own top board. So far my Radikal is not installed and also my Ekos is still not back from Linn but I think I might not go with the small woo...

actually your question is interesting - as that was what I am asking myself But I don’t know however I have a feeling that the solid base and non touching radikal motor sounds better than Trampolin 2 with Radikal touching motor I am even ready to strip the feet of my Trampolin 2 of if its touching a...

I prefer ownership of my music as I fear the total running costs will be higher over 20 years timeframe with downloads. One drawback of the model I choose is with a free subscription you might explore music which you dont know more likely.

yes I did hear your clips Thomas and already liked the new Linn Silvers better - I only have one old pair of Linn Silvers so I really have no benchmark but I think my new Linn Silver has already surpassed my old pair of Linn Silvers

probably around 50-60h as we had some thunderstorms lately I didnt wanted to let the system run over night

yes even though I don’t question anymore if the Karousel is really better - I think it really is. I am looking more forward to the comparison of the Linn Silver Interconnects - my Interconnect II is performing really great and I think it will become the new State of the Art even beating the first ge...

I count that as a yes ;)

Isn't that interesting that with such a tiny change (wrong direction of a fuse) there is not much controversy here but with a big change like the Karousel there was much more difficulty to agree whats better.
I dont mean to bring this topic up again but it is somehow strange.

does that mean you also like Option 2 more than Option 3 (I am asking because your opinion has much value to me)

thank you for all the feedback ... as already said I also prefer the Option 2 although the initial thought after turning the fuse was - “that also sounds good“ but than I realized it came together with less understanding of what is going on

Here I'm for Option 3. Here I like musicality especially in the vocals ...

uups - I still think I like the Option 2 a little bit more

Is it just me or is this is quite a common finding with comparisons . One option has impressive sounds but the other has better musicality and is more enjoyable. I agree its common however not always the case. I also agree with beck that this is the main reason why many develop their systems in the...

I might do another recording tomorrow to show how just turning the fuse to the other direction is going to screw up musicality. The fuse is about 8-10meters away.

thank you for your feedback - thats also what I hear ... but I am still impressed how clear your statements are as I found it more difficult to decide when I was listening to my own recordings.

Option 1 was the regular power distribution
Option 2 is the dedicated Hifi power distribution

here is a new comparison - as there is some discussion about a dedicated power supply for the hifi here is a comparison between a dedicated one versus a normal one. The Hifi one is on a dedicated circuit breaker with a fuse (not automatic) has a 4mm2 cable and only one power socket ... I am not able...

I like this proposal really much so here is the start:

I hope you find what you want but keep in mind that finding a 6.1 used and than upgrade it will bring you close to buy a 7.1 new. I am sure you are going to be positively surprised with your first Lejonklou product.

sure - its as close to the source as possible and since my Ekos II is still at repair at Linn I can run it in 24/7 with my Akurate DS connected to the Sagatun before it will connect the Entity later ;)

as stated already at the Linn Silver Interconnect discussion ... got my pair of Linn Silver Analogue Interconnect ll‘s today and they play nice and wonderful
