Re: Hermanns System

Listening again through Källa, I find the comparison much harder. The difference in engagement I heard on my PC has disappeared. Both tracks sound equally engaging.

Re: Hermanns System

Interesting. They all "sound" the same. I could not describe any difference. And they sound great. However, I react consistently and almost immediately to the 'A's, and want the music to continue, but I don't feel the same way for the 'B's. So it's 'A' for me, for all 3 tracks. (Listened via headpho...

Re: Hermanns System

The As and the Bs all seem to have the same file names - is that right?

Eg Both Herbie Mann files are called '240327-000.wav'

Re: Lejonklou Boazu Integrated Amp

I thought I was done a few weeks ago. It's good, but I think it can be better. Work continues. No rush! Gives more time to save up and speaking selfishly, the more tuning, and the more music, the better. And one thing I've learned from the discipline of waiting and saving, is that the wait makes th...

Broken Speaker Plug Socket on Boazu

A few days ago one of the speaker plug sockets on my Boazu broke. The plastic exterior sheared off from the threaded collar, and the socket disappeared inside the case. I think that this was caused by sideways tension from the K400, imposing a sustained diagonal pull on the socket. I was able to glu...

Just worked out that I've owned this for nearly half a century!

Still sounds amazing. I started playing the album on Spotify, but jumped up and put the LP on after a few songs, and it's notably more fun on the TT.

Re: Speaker Choices for Lejonklou amplifiers…?

There's a Källa for sale on eBay. I don't know how that compares to the resale value of your Selekt, but perhaps could help. The Selekt classic I auditioned was less enjoyable than my Hakai and the Källa is much better than my Hakai. I have no experience with the speakers you list. However, some of ...

Neil Young and Joni Mitchell back on spotify

Neil Young has returned his music to Spotify, and it's now available. Joni Mitchell has done the same.

Neil is not a fan of Spotify quality:
I hope all you millions of Spotify users enjoy my songs! They will now all be there for you except for the full sound we created

Distorted Duffy?

Has anyone else listened to Duffy's 2008 album Rockferry? If so, do you hear distortion on some of her vocals. I hear it normally on "Serious" I first heard it on the vinyl LP when I played it on my LP12. I thought maybe it was down to the pressing. However, I can still hear it I think on Spotify an...

I haven't done any systematic testing, but I think I've observed that sometimes my iPad Mini 6 benefits from a reboot.

With the Tundra Mono 3 and their permanently lit LEDs, I would go one step further and have the Sagatun LEDs also light up in the color of the set volume.

The manual says that the volume goes up in 1dB steps from 0db to 78dB with the limit in place and 0dB to 100db with it removed.

Re: Lejonklou Boazu Integrated Amp

When listening to music, I usually stay a couple of dB below the max with the safety limit on, because that's the level that brings the most enjoyment. So for my use, the additional available volume isn't necessary. Also, I would not want to take Boazu up to the point where it clips or otherwise deg...
