Re: Utopik upgrade

Isn't the only reasonable thing that the Utopik upgrade will come for the Radikal aswell or what do you guys think? I really want to start planning for Radikal 2 but it's the Utopik thing that holds me back..

Re: Absolute Bargains!

I think these headphones "new old stock" Beyer Dynamic DT131 availaible from agrenshifi.com (Sweden) is a absolute bargain for less than 18 EUR. (DT231, DT331 is less musical) https://www.xn--grens-lra.se/horlurar/horlurar/beyer-dynamic-dt-131 I think they sound great and are hard to beat regardless...

Re: Charlie1's System

Yes I'm tempted. I would love to hear it.. I haven't listened to new Naim for a while now. And they come up with this! It's a 'how does naim sound today' benchmark I think. If it's actually very good it's a really cool product! I love the concept of the 'giant killer, no remote phono integrated'. Th...

Re: LP 12 early 90 , Karousel , Torque issue 2N !

Thanks Thomas, very interesting. I never did the bottom cap of Karousel since I was afraid to make a mess. Is there anything particular to watch out for doing this operation. Is there any risks of loosening the bottom cap too much and get oil where it's not supposed to be, for example? You certainl...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

1A is K20 an 1B is K400. I thought folks might be interested so I posted them but for me the K400 clearly works better with the 212s. This is why I recorded up close so you couldn't see the cables. Retaining the Silvers, 2A is Linn Blacks and 2B is Linn Silvers. One moment I prefer the blacks, the ...

Nice, I hope you'll make them sing! I wonder what you think would be the optimal stands for these and also if you know...

Re: My system today

An unexpected turn in todays post of my system today! I had been looking for a rational audio "aura" integrated amplifier for years since I find it a very cool design, I didn't expect it to be better than nait 1 and 2 or anything, but I guessed it would sound very good still. Then all of sudden it w...

Yes Fred! I rate JERN 12WS highly, especially with Lejonklou electronics. I had 109's long time ago and they are really great, it's so very difficult finding a more musical speaker than them. I think that Linn Kan and Naim IBL has some absolute strenghts which made me use those instead (with my naim...

Re: Pre-amplifiers/streamers for my newly acquired Tundra 2.2 Tarandus.

No, it’s a mechanical switch on Superkikkin. Is that better that no switch..? s I expect Fredrik will answer this but the easy answer is, YES. C'mon, this is Fredrik we are talking about. Would there be a switch if it would sound more musical without it? To further explain I asked Fredrik some time...
