Re: stevan's studio system
That's quite interesting. I've never heard the Larsen speakers but I have wondered about them. I curated a system for one of my brothers that I put together as a very iconic retro system from the 60s. For that system I found him a pair of Sonab oa116 which I substantially refurbished. The Larsen sp...

Re: stevan's studio system
Very interesting looking and sounding system, Stevan! If I remember correctly the DV turntable is a custom version of a Well Tempered, which seem to be good turntables. I think you will find people here more open to different kinds of speakers and more interested in how well music comes out of them...

Re: stevan's studio system
i'll say again that everything comes to life with the dv 507 + entity. Do you use any digital devices (servers, streamers, DACs) in your systems and if yes, I am curious which ones? Thanks again yes i do! my music server is the salk streamplayer III SE, which i've said is one of the best-kept secre...

Re: stevan's studio system
Stevan, it looks and sounds like a great system! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl08Bc_njMU Please, can you shed some light on your Line Magnetic speakers? Thanks oh, you found rich brown's video. the music is hadjidakis' music for the ballet Les Oiseaux - a favorite of mine, although i can't reca...

stevan's studio system
hi folks the main change in my system over the last couple of years has been adding the elekit tu8600s 300b integrated amp. the dynavector dv 500 tt, 507 mk2 arm, karat cart + entity feeding the line magnetic 812 iconic speakers. the room, formerly the architectural studio of charles forberg, is qui...
Re: Slipsik 8
thanks for your quick response frederik. i'm pretty happy with the 103+auditorium 23 SUT, and i'm not *unhappy* with the phono-stage i'm currently using (modwright ph9.0x), but i'm always open to experimenting with alternatives, especially (in this case) given my very positive experience with the En...
Re: Slipsik 8
hi frederik. enjoying the entity immensely, and have now begun upgrading a turntable in a second system. this is a technics 1200G equipped with the venerable denon 103 MC cartridge. currently, i'm running that through the auditorium SUT into the MM input of my phono-stage. based on the pleasure i'm ...
Re: Entity MC
i received my 1.2 upgrade a week or two ago (thank you thomas!) but have been far too busy to audition. one of the things i've noticed since restarting music on vinyl is that i'm extremely reluctant to engage in casual listening. digital is a different story - that i can have playing as background t...

Re: Kalla as a Roon endpoint: requirements
thanks frederik - this is very useful info. i note that your recommended setup uses a GS108T. have you since upgraded this to a GS308T?

Kalla as a Roon endpoint: requirements
based on my *very* positive experience with the Entity phono-stage i'm contemplating replacing my current streamer/dac with a Kalla. the main question is whether my current setup is capable of running the Kalla as a Roon endpoint. my music server is a Salk Streamplayer III SE running Roon server sof...
Re: Entity MC
regarding the 1.2 upgrade, my dealer hasn't heard yet about when or whether this will be available in the u.s. i assume that the upgrade will involve sending the unit in to an authorized lenjonkleu repair station, via my dealer. i'll be sorry to see it go! i regard it as an end-game phono-stage for ...
Re: Entity MC
It sounds like your connectors are way too tight and you can’t push them in? Not uncommon with Linn Silver Interconnects unfortunately. It’s a delicate job to loosen them up, which you can do with a pointy pair of pliers that you open up - carefully! - against the three pairs of opposing pieces of ...
Re: Entity MC
i've just received a pair of linn silver unbalanced interconnects to use with my entity. i suppose others have noticed that the connections aren't terribly secure. it doesn't feel as though the cables have "seated" themselves well. i've resisted the temptation to push them into the connectors for fe...

Re: steve's system
Certainly a nice looking system and I'm sure the Entity will fit in there beautifully. Can I ask how the Click and Pop Remover functions? The best click-and-pop remover I know is a good record cleaning machine (like the Loricraft currently offered here in the sales section). i send new arrivals thr...

Re: steve's system
I love the stairs! me too! it was formerly the home of the architect charles forberg, son-in-law of walter gropius and one of his students who went on to found (and build) black mountain college. Indeed! And that second system certainly looks quite cool! thanks! i've only recently rediscovered viny...

Re: steve's system
hi thomas thanks for your appreciative response. andy singer was also surprised by the ambrosia and ampzillas. i guess they're more rare than i thought. they've been the one constant in my system over the last dozen years. speakers and sources of all sorts have come and gone, but i've had no reason ...
Re: Entity MC
the stereophile review + the enthusiastic recommendation by my dealer don better were just what i needed to get me to purchase an Entity and a pair of linn silver cables (1.2m). my question is to what extent break-in will improve the already very impressive performance. i've never really grasped how...
