Re: Recommended control points

Sorry if this question is already asked, but would you say the iPad mini is worth buying for the sound improvement alone?

I’m currently playing from an iPad pro 2021.

Does anyone else know if these are still available? Defender has logged out since the 25:th. I’m about to go nuts.

Re: LP12 Building Advice

If you want to improve upon what you had before, how about the Karousel bearing? Possibly but I've heard conflicting reports about it. Once the initial euphoria over the cleaner more detailed sound wears off it is less musically satisfying. I'm not ruling it out but I want to take it slow. Run with...

Re: General Discussion about Källa

Azazello, what do you think now about musicality of Qobuz vs Spotify? Thanks To answer my own question, me and my family compared "April in Paris" from Sarah Vaughan on Spotify and Qobuz. Qobuz was much better. It is a pity that Spotify do not want to launch Spotify HiFi. Is that on Källa? I still ...

tokenbrit wrote: 2021-12-19 00:22 Looking forward to Azazello receiving his 708s so that we can get a summary of 3677 -> 308 -> 708 - I'm still intrigued by jajo's reports of the 7s maintaining their musicality across a wider volume range, amongst other benefits.
I would trust Jajo's assessment more than mine. :)

Re: General Discussion about Källa

I downloaded Qobuz today and compared to Spotify. Maybe I did something wrong, or is the trial version is bad in some way (sounds like a poor marketing strategy to provide snippets of bad quality…)? But it was not even close, I wanted to turn it of immediately. Have compared Spotify and YouToube mus...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

You need a power cord without ground. Sounds dangerous if the device is intended to be used with the ground. Yes, having a mains ground is safer. In modern installations it will make a central fuse trip really fast when anything malfunctions. Without a mains ground it will take a little longer. But...

jajo & Azazello, I’m not using “traditional” stands. They consist of an open metal frame with a couple of 75mm timbers on top to raise the height to 500mm! 😳 🤣 Regardless of the construction, they seem to work very well with Graham LS5/9’s, producing a tuneful, harmonious and rhythmic sound, but ad...

Thanks jajo. The reason I ask is because I’ve recently bought a pair of 308’s and they don’t have the musicality you describe. The system consists of KDS/1 + Linn Silver + original Majik pre-amp section + Linn Silver + no name phono to xlr adapter. I appreciate that the phono to xlr adapter will ha...

Ok. 308P are insanely good. Clearly better than TM/3677 (although I still miss them on some recordings). It’s nuts.
