I prefer Sagatun as it feels like it links appropriately to tundra

I've already doing this with a KK/1 and it works well. Eagerly waiting a comparison with the Lejonklou preamp. I'm curious how to determine what the maximum volume should be in an Oppo, for instance, if using that into the Lejonklou pre-amp's unity gain, with Tundra power amps... My understanding i...

I would've taken a go myself but it's easier to share the link and avoid being be corrected by those with wider experience, & better ears... if not those with better experience, & wider ears :)

Before we get too carried away with the multi-channel preamp... Personally, I just can't wait to hear the new stereo preamp and get one in my system! Agreed. I was just making sure my idea of taking the analogue, stereo out from a processor such as an Oppo into the Tundra preamp's optional unity ga...

The Kisto was meant to be the equal (or better?) than the first Klimax Kontrol (pre dynamik) Although I'm drifting off topic, I have to object here. I have never heard a Kisto performing anywhere near an original KK. And the later KK's are even further ahead. Maybe I should've said the Kisto was co...

It's about performance for me, and simplicity. One box to do switching and volume. I'm running all my sources (no turntable) into the Oppo to do the analogue conversion, so would only need the one multi channel input group. I've been experimenting with the internal volume, it's okay. I think a prop...

I have to admit that I'd not considered using the volume control on an Oppo (in fact, to be honest, I wasn't aware it had it!) I think you were better off not knowing. Not what I was hoping to hear. Had hoped that an Oppo 105 on the unity gain input would be a good way to bring stereo & multi-chann...

I meant the Tundra preamp - 4 inputs, not channels.

From my own perspective, I'd be happy with multi-channel analogue in&out (I'd be happy with 6 channel, but the market would probably want 8, to support 7.1 surround) and allowing my BluRay player to do the decoding. In and out should be enough. I've been using an Oppo 105 to do the decoding and sen...

Is there any clever, practised way to unwind LAN cables? The MicroConnects come fairly tightly coiled and retain that coil after unwinding. Is there a way to get the cables to 'forget' their coil?

My network cabling looks like a bunch of loose slinkies :)

I recall from earlier posts that there's a danger of pushing the Tundras to point of clipping if played too loud. Is there are recommended max volume, and is that a 'Linn volume' or a 'Lejonklou volume'? I have my Akurate Kontrol set to a max of 80, just in case someone sits on the remote or somethi...

No doubt the Adikt is best of the 4, but I found the ELAC vs Ortofons comparison interesting. Arguably, I thought the ELAC to be less detailed but more tuneful at times than the Bronze or the Black... Problem was it swam in & out of tune between guitar & drums, and started drowning when things got m...

Thanks for your opinion. It was fun to make! I cannot listen to it in the moment… I think I had it too much, yesterday. All I can says is: That it would have been helpful, if the record company could make the hole in the centre of the record. Here it is just a mm off centre. The Adikt (‘big wale su...

For a short while, at least, I'm going to have a mix of Lejonklou and Linn power amps in my system, and I wanted to check the required settings to have the correct attenuation as I know this is different between the two brands. I will be using Tundra Monos to drive the main left and right speakers,...

I went from 4.11.4, preferred that to 4.12.357. The sound quality is better overall. TuneDem is not as good, but the sound is better enough I am working on moving the speakers I had sworn not to touch. Interaction of musicians is communicated better. Sounds better. Foot tapping is just not the same...

I'm hoping for Tundra Monos under the tree this year, and a Tundra pre-amp under the tree next Christmas ;) Peace & goodwill to all :)

I thought it was about time I posted a preliminary report on my experiment of comparing my 5 year old FS108 (v2) and my new GS108 (v3). Compared to my FS108, the GS108 was very disappointing... That's a little worrying given that I just recently received a GS108v3 - it's still burning in, along wit...

This weekend I tested my newly purchased GS108T-200 compared to a GS108v2 I had borrowed from the store. I had run in the GS108T for a week and found it was indeed a bit better than the GS108v2, although not a big difference. I also found, as others have that the AC adapter sounds better plugged in...

1. A Unity Gain input. This feature means that one input on the preamp will always be played at a fixed volume, regardless of the volume control setting. When selecting any other input, the volume setting is in effect. But as soon as the input with Unity Gain is selected, the volume setting is bypas...

Thomas, I live in Canada (london ontario). How would I get my hands on the microconnect lan cables you feel sound best. I am at a loss right now as to what to do for cabling in my DS system.The cables I am using now are just generic ones and Im sure they are not ideal. Thanks!!!! Ron Ron, see the p...

No difference with the file conversion, 2 friends confirmed they hear the keyboard using the headphones while not when using the DS... This is really confusing me, even if not the best one it is still a "lot of money" player. Anyone from Linn can help? Not sure if you've confirmed but expect from y...

www.stuff-uk.net is where I got the MicroConnects for Thomas & myself - I can recommend them; they were very helpful.

This has never been the case in my experience, so don't worry.

I'm not worried; just confused ;)
