Re: Recommendation for 6m RCA Cable

The Mogami 2549, which I‘m considered to use, is reportedly used by Linn for their T-cable. For 31 Euros it is well worth a try. However the black interconnects back in 2019 were not Mogami, so isn't the Majik tonarm cable. No idea what they use now because they changed again in 2019/2020. However t...

Re: Recommendation for 6m RCA Cable

I think I will solder it myself using silver WBT solder and a MOGAMI NEGLEX W3106 which is the Stereo version of the W2549. Seems like Linn use exactly these cables.

Recommendation for 6m RCA Cable

Hi

In my new house I need to run a 6m RCA Cable between my Slipsik 7 and the Akurate DSM. Speaker cables are 2.48m Duelund 12AWG and interconnects between Akurate DSM and Tundra are 1m Duelund 16AWG.

Any recommendations for a 6m RCA-RCA or RCA-XLR between Slipsik and Akurate DSM?

Sagatun Stereo would be the obvious match since you have the Tundra... and 2 sources.
If course it is. I was just wondering if anybody ever thought about using a passive preamp.

Re: Lejonklou and Harbeth?

My Tundra Stereo 2.5 arrived yesterday. Well it definitevely is a big improvement over the 5125. I had to turn up the level on the Linn by 5-7 as expected. It is so much more musical and the clarity is stunning.

How musical is an Airport Express 2?

Hi there On my way to Källa I‘m thinking about selling my Akurate DSM/3 Katalyst and save funds for Källa. I’m pretty sure Linn will replace it by the the Linn Selekt DSM anyway. I would relace it with a Sagatun and Airport Express 2. I know this is pretty extreme but do you think the combination Ai...

Re: Recommended control points

Has anyone tried Roon > HQ Player > Källa? HQ Player can be configured in Roon as the output device and you can choose CoreAudio in HQ Player as Backend and Default as Device. If you then change your global output settings on your Mac to Airplay/Källa, Roon/HQ Player will then play to Källa. I've al...

Re: Lejonklou and Harbeth?

Hi guys, thank you all. I‘ll go the Tundra/Sagatun Stereo route and possibly Källa later. It takes me a little longer on my journey to Källa but it might be worth it. This combination is more fexible especially with the two outputs of Sagatun. It‘s way easier to integrate a Subwoofer pair this way. ...
