Re: General Discussion about Källa

For example PJ Harveys amazing "Let England shake" was a bit of an disappointment (although clearly better than on Hakai). There is an element of harshness that might have become a little bit more apparent, maybe this could be mitigated with other speakers. Thsi album is a LOT better on vinyl than ...

Re: General Discussion about Källa

There is an element of harshness that might have become a little bit more apparent, maybe this could be mitigated with other speakers. IMO, this is a little bit strange, I thought that with Källa harshness becomes less apparent. Matt I would have to bring my Hakai back to life in order to compare p...

Maybe. I have listened to it a lot with Hakai as well, and it's nerver sounded anything like this.

Re: General Discussion about Källa

Hi Azazello, I am very curious about your impressions since (AFAIK) we have the same speakers. How is Källa with the 3677s? Fantastic. Records with high dynamics have become sooo much better (like Rain Dogs), but on some records the difference is less stunning. For example PJ Harveys amazing "Let E...

Re: General Discussion about Källa

Listening to #15 at the moment. Tom Waits, Raindogs. This is an album I have heard on numerous systems (mostly vinyl) the last 25 years or so. This is something else. It’s like a new layer of information is available, it’s especially obvious in the vocals, in EVERY song I realise things about intona...

Re: Recommended control points

What about Apple TV as a control point for Spotify? EDIT: Wouldn't that be an ideal solution for those who want to use Källa för the TV as well? In that case you could always choose Apple TV as the "target" for Spotify from the phone, and the connection Apple TV-Källa would never have to be restarte...

Källa for TV sound

I have an LG OLED-tv that I have currently connected to Sagatun using the headphone jack and fixed output from the TV. Can I remove this cable and send picture (to the TV) and sound (to Källa) directly from my Ipad? Feels like a bummer to loose the smart-TV interface, but might be worth it to improv...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

I have now moved My Giella Pi to join the JBl 308s - it sounds great Can you describe what "great" sounds like with the JBLs or perhaps post comparative clips please? This JBL thread would be more meaningful if we had more of an idea of what they sound like. I assume that “great” means that they co...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

This is pretty much uncharted territory. The only stands I've tested with 308P are Kan and Katan-stands and they are both good but I prefer Kan. With 708P I have only used Kan-stands with great results. Height and stability are important parameters. I had one screw loose on the top plate of the Kan...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

I'm really tempted to get rid of my 3677 and Tundras and replace them with a pair of 708's (or 308's + sub). The problem for me is that it would be impossible to keep them on a pair of Kan/109/Katan stands, since the risk of them falling down would be too big (kids and dog). What do you guys say? Ar...

Re: General Discussion about Källa

Of course, user friendliness is an important aspect (not having heard that many complaining except perhaps those having never built a PC back in the days. But I would guess those not knowing someone who has should be even fewer.) Haven’t followered the Hakai section lately but severe sound degradat...

Re: General Discussion about Källa

So based on that, I would at least assume that Hakai would still be extremely good value given that it is a simple PC and cheapish DAC (Adding the law of deminishing returns on that.) I would say that it depends on how you value you own work (which in turn depends very much on how good you are at c...

Re: General Discussion about Källa

We started with Hakai, which for me was just ok. It’s good value, but not something I’d be interested in pursuing. It’s a digital player which sounds like a digital player. That was not a good sounding Hakai. Hakai at it's best is amazing . I would gladly replace my LP12 witht Hakai if it could per...

Re: Källa is now shipping

I would like to see what the difference in performance is: Källa vs. LP12 Akurate Level My feeling is that the "level" of LP12 is almost of no importance (as long as it sounds right (which by the way many LP12:s don´t because they are f-ing sensitive to everything)). LP:s have a kind of unique musi...
