Re: General Discussion about Källa

First of all, thank you very much for trying to help me. Källa was visible as an unused connection, but could not establish a connection. The connection in the browser with the fixed IP also no longer worked. One more thing. After a lot of nerve-racking trial and error yesterday, I removed Källa as ...

Re: General Discussion about Källa

I have assigned Källa a fixed IP address. Yesterday and today I listened to music. Later I disconnected Källa from the power supply, hard power switch, without shutting down the device. After switching it on, it does not connect again. It is also no longer visible in the router. I have tried this: K...

Re: Linn versus Naim amps

I note on other forums that it can be fashionable to insult Linn amplifiers. I think generally they are very good. They do not make music sound like hifi. If you are expecting a traditional hifi sound you may be disappointed. What do you mean, Donuk? Does that mean that the Linn devices are not abl...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

Hi Beck, I listened to the clips on the Ipad yesterday. I prefer the before clip. The music comes across wonderfully.
In the After clip, the music makes no sense to me, it is meaningless.

Re: Melco S100 Network Switch

I refuse to believe that digital is the problem with me. After all, I listened to music with great satisfaction for 10 years with a Naim CD3.5 CD player. At that time I also had an LP12/Lingo/Akito2. I liked analogue and digital equally. In my case, it's something else.

Re: Melco S100 Network Switch

Let's move on to the evaluation.

You are exactly right with your assumption, Beck.

So we have all cast our votes for:

1 = Netgear

Re: Melco S100 Network Switch

This time it was not easy for me to make a decision. I listened to the clips a few times and like them both. However, I found a slight preference for clip 1. The music seems more natural to me, more human, as if I were there live.

Re: Melco S100 Network Switch

So, let's come to the resolution of the comparison. It was clearer with these. We all voted for: 1 = Melco/Sbooster With this example we can see again that a theoretical technical advantage (galvanic separation, fibre optics) does not necessarily have to be musically advantageous. So we must remain ...

Re: Melco S100 Network Switch

If the extreme experiences with the Melco in the shop had often been repeated at home, I would not have hesitated to buy the Melco.

So your clips were very helpful, I would have done the same.

Matt
Consider though. The price for full equipment of the Melco is a lot of money for me. For me, it means choosing carefully according to cost/benefit. This can look very different for you.

Re: Melco S100 Network Switch

A small remark on the side. I am doing this for you, not for me. My decision whether to have the Melco or not is not dependent on what the winner of the comparison will be and was made long before the clips were recorded. Thank you, am I right that in this case everything went back to the store? Ma...
