Re: Gaio 2.4 into Linn Kairn Aktiv Kaber system.
Thanks for letting us know how you got on, especially Gaio vs Kairn. I tried the VM540ML for a short while. The Hi-Fi stuff improved as you'd expect so it was cleaner sounding and had more punchy bass. However, whilst AT confirmed it should be OK on my Ekos, it didn't engage me like the previous VM9...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Thanks for sharing Hermann! I don’t often read ahead but couldn’t listen to the clips at the time and was keen to know what folks thought. I listened to clips 1 and 3 only. I preferred B especially clip 3. I felt 1A using the original caps had more flow and sense of ease, probably cos it was so well...

Re: Gaio 2.4 into Linn Kairn Aktiv Kaber system.
Ok, clear now.
I suppose if you’re buying it second hand then you won’t lose out, so happy days either way.
Longer term it’s well worth saving up for Slipsik 8.

Re: Gaio 2.4 into Linn Kairn Aktiv Kaber system.
Fair enough, hope you feel better soon. If you listen to a lot of vinyl then recommend getting Slipsik and spending less on a preamp. As much as I enjoyed the Gaio, I doubt it will be a lot better than Kairn (and you are asking if it will ‘blow away’ Kairn) although Kairn isn’t big on transparency s...

Re: Gaio 2.4 into Linn Kairn Aktiv Kaber system.
How does Gaio compare then Rod?
Do you have the final Kairn PSU version? Late version Kairn MM can still sound very good if amp is not too tired.
Slipsik 8 pulled a long way ahead of Gaio when I compared. Now got Slipsik.

Re: Speaker Choices for Lejonklou amplifiers…?
I can pretty much relate to this. I run A242 with Sagatun/Tundra stereo. They are somewhat analytical in their character on some recordings even with Lejonklou amps. They have a very neutral (cold) sound that lack base. That makes them a little boring to listen to in the long run. Maybe Tundra ster...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
B for me as well on tracks 1 and 3. I couldn't get me ear into 2 so will take a pass on that.
Similar to Thomas, I thought the tracks sounded a bit muffed for 242s - not out of phase are they, or perhaps a phone case blocking the mic?

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
I did try to compare last night but C was taking forever to upload. Needn't have worried though as I preferred A and B over C like everyone else.
A is more my type of sound, less impressive than B but just made more sense and was more enjoyable.

Re: Linn Klimax Solo 800
I enjoyed active 360s the other week, especially via the Klimax LP12. They do a good job of disappearing.
Doubt I'll get to hear the Solo 800s as my dealer is not getting a dem pair.

Yes, nice summary of your progress.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Cool!
Maybe try quite a lot closer in that case with about 150cm between tweeters.

Re: Pete's System
I've had a look at the mic positions and they are not too dissimilar. I now remember to avoid covering them with my fingers so I'm not sure what the cause is. It does make the comparisons harder (for me anyway). Fair enough. I was trying out stereo on an iPhone 15 so perhaps it's caused by somethin...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
I hear too much sound off the wall in 2856.
I'd probably go with 2857 but hard to tell with that track.
Maybe try closer together too, although I appreciate you have the cabinet preventing them going much closer to one another.

I prefer 'without' too. I suppose you could try re-positioning the speakers with the room treatment, but personally I couldn't be bothered based on these clips - not enough potential to get me interested. Agree with beck that you need to get the speakers optimised in their current position first. Ca...
