That’s some bike ride - but hopefully he’s had time to have done the comparison before going away - and will be feeling refreshed enough to share for a few words of wisdom soon after returning. If they are as good as I expect - it’s going to be a tough decision between upgrading and selling them on ...

TM 3. 027/028 ( upgraded TM2s)

This is for Marco

Any reports on how these compare to standardTM3s.

I’m expecting them to be a huge upgrade on TM2 and very close to brand new TM3s.

Listening to Tundra mono 3 fresh out the box. I appreciate they need some use to reach peak performance, but already they are something very special. Just with Linn 109 I keep getting distracted from other tasks, Radio Paradise is warming them up, I keep making a note of what’s playing, always a go...

That is high praise for the ZMF's indeed, considering how impressed you were with Abyss Diana. Its such a shame these planar magnetic headphones are so expensive as Listening to Kalla/ Giella Pi through good headphones ( I have Grado RS2e, which is much more musical than my SR125e) is incredibly enj...

With so much demand for TM3 - I’m sure I could help relieve the pressure by just asking for just an upgrade for my TM2.

I'd like to make a WARNING about daisy-chaining power strips. Every strip has a power rating, which is printed on it. If the sum of the power consumed by all units connected to the strip exceeds the strip's power rating, metal parts will be heated enough to potentially cause a fire. If a power stri...

Thanks for that.

I will be keeping my fingers crossed that at least the Tundra Mono 2s can be successfully updated.

There’s something very satisfying about keeping the original units and having them sound as good ( or at least nearly as good ) as the new ones.

Hello Barrie! Production, final assembly and tuning are working full speed. I am just about to start on number 009. Next week I plan to make the first upgrade of an older pair. As there are various small differences in casing, cooling, power supply, etc. over the ten years it’s been in production, ...

Comparision 1 - I prefer B but not by as much as I was expecting with K400 vs K20

Comparision 2 - More difficult to choose. If you put a gun to my head - I would go for B

So at 23:28 hrs on 7th February I post an issue with finding my KAlla~17 on the network. At 23:42 , 14 minutes later ( as I am getting ready for bed) I get a reply from Lejonklou HQ pointing me towards the fix and a second reply from Tokenbrit confirming the likely problem. I wake up at 05;30 check ...

Thanks Fredrik and Tokenbrit It was the switch! It was not visible on the router - my other two GS 108/308 were, along with the mesh unit. A simple reboot did the trick. I have not used the downstairs Kalla for a week or so - been listening to the LP 12 with 1950s/1960s Jazz recordings ; something t...

Hi

No - only the upstairs Kalla is visible .

Should I try connecting directly to the mesh - in case it’s the network switch that is the problem?
Or even directly to the router?

One of my Kallas #17 is not visible on the network - I can’t find it with its web address 192.168.0 Etc

It’s connected to the mesh router / network switch - which both appear to be fine.

Any ideas of what I should do next?

The other Kalla is fine.

C better than B but not that big a difference.

A still best by far

A for me - more enjoyable.

I have the 15 ft - 4 conductor cable with a smooth plastic covering. After reading that some are happy with the above - I did the test again. Maybe, I was being a tad harsh on the extension cable, as in isolation, it still sounds ‘good’ and enjoyable with Kalla/ Giella pi. I have been using this for...

Thanks for reviewing that extension cable from Grado u252agz. The Giella Pi is an exceptional device and I am really looking forward to the upgrades that Fredrik announced last November in the playground thread. I agree Giella Pi is a fantastic headphone amp/ pre amp -which I would take along with ...

"Grado guarantees no degradation of sonic quality with Grado headphones while using their extension cable." This from their own website. So you should be able to get your money back. I find it particularly interesting that they make a 15 foot cable and an apparently higher-quality 12 foot cable for...

I wonder if anyone has looked at the optimal length of cable for headphones and whether the optimal length will be similar to speaker cables ie around 2.5 m. Looking online, it seems that most in the headphone community think that length does not matter - there are reports of 50 feet of cable ( and ...

I have been using the Grado 4.5 metre extension cable with my RS2e headphones( Kalla with Giella Pi) for a few months now and enjoying this system, reclining on the bed in the spare room, which is at the opposite end from the Kalla/Giella. Over the weekend, I tried my Grado 125e straight into Giella...

I finally got around to replacing the stock cat 5 cable connecting my BT mesh wi fi unit to my Kalla upstairs, with a Blue Jeans 6a -2.5 metre length cable . Wow -really big difference. So much more musical. I tried it with Suzanne Vegas Gypsy on solitude standing - my standard for A to Bs and it’s ...

Do you have the date of purchase?

I agree with springwood. Boazu and Tundra both drive my 242s and Komponent 110s just fine, but my rooms are only 6metres by 5 with 2.5 m ceiling. I have used linn preamps with Tundra ( Kolektor and AK 1) and they are well matched. Nice thing with a Boazu is its really versatile. if you ever connect ...

I think all of us lucky enough to own Kalla owe the whole Lejonklou team a huge debt of gratitude. I remember the promising reports of the first prototypes and then the intense disappointment when the project was put on ice. I assumed that great Digital streamers were just too difficult to develop a...

And not forgetting Mrs Lejonklou and the children.

I can't even begin to imagine what they must have had to put up with during the conception, long gestation period and eventual birth of Kalla.
