Re: Entity MC

Just got my Entity back after four weeks away being upgraded from 1.1 to 1.2. Obviously I can't hold memory well enough to do a strict A/B. So I just plugged it in, cold, together with an LP12 which had been powered down since Entity left. Not intending to come to any conclusions. WTF?! If this is "...

Re: Akurate DSM / Exakbox 10 - Upgrade path

3) Sell all the electronics, go passive, upgrade to Kalla and Boazu (or other Lejonklou amplifiers, dependent on budget).

Re: Recommended control points

Thanks! The Pro Max is too big for me as a phone, and both Pro and Pro Max seem to have some different internals to the regular iPhone, so I thought it worth asking. I'll likely buy one or the other regular sized basic version, but just as a phone.

I prefer B to A on the Kari Bremnes track, and after just the intro to the others the same difference was apparent. I can see a second torque driver in my future... or maybe my dealer can do this.

Re: Recommended network components

It will be interesting to see if David Neel finds a significant improvement with the Amplifi units as I think he has optimal BJC 6a cables from his Router/ GS108T to Kalla. I do indeed have BJC cat6a cables. But I've cut short my Amplifi experimentation, as I've been dealing with life's REAL issues...

I have two black and three grey. Pending musical evaluation of all five, in both directions, and in both critical positions, I can tell you that the black ones LOOK better. And BJCs of the same colour LOOK the same. :)

all I can say is rather order more than the number of blue jeans cables you need to have some chances - there is noticable variation When you need one BJC of a certain length, how many you have to order to get a really musical one? Two or more? Thanks 33 or so should be sufficient! ;-) If you add a...

Good to understand the systematic approach - thanks for sharing. Did you configure one or two subnets with Huawei & Amplifi?

Re: Recommended network components

Spannko has very kindly sent me his pair of Amplifi HDs for experimentation. My existing network is very simple: I have a Huawei 4G router which provides wifi for the flat, and a single wired connection for the hifi. It is powered separately from everything else. This router is wired to a GS108T v2,...

Two people out of 12 express concerns regarding the v20 upgrade and the manufacturer responds by immediately sorting out the issue.

Well done to the Kalla team.

Looking forward to v19.
Yes, very impressive.
