update: had a little time today, played the "new old system " with the improvements mentioned above, including the Kikkin. I cannot give an A-B comparison,I cannot talk about the effect of the single steps, but it was good, probably better than before. Looking at my wife (she did not know what was g...

Dear all, just to give you a few news on my status. I have been contact with Fredrik with the result that since today I have a Boazu for testing at home. It came with some good tips and is now waiting for a test (when I find the time and the little boy is not asleep, have been singing to him CCR ver...

" all is well"

do not get me wrong I will keep on searching for improvements with the mentioned possibilties, just wanted to say, I am still having fun.....

many thanks again to all, I appreciate and will keep in mind tokenbrit s advice on using enjoyment as criteria, because that is what I want to do every day (when possible) with my music. Now I my son and wife are occupying the living room so I am out with the second system (collected quite a lot of ...

Dear all, many thanks again to all of you for sharing your thoughts. The proof of the pudding is the eating, so I will try passive again one way or the other. Most likely the Boazu for a start as Fredrik offered to borrow me one for evaluation. I will contact him to clarify details. And I will let y...

yes, you are right, thanks for the advice ChrBea,

well I do not mind too much, I can use an adapter or fit another plug
so if the unit is still for sale, I keep being interested

DearThomas, all, also thanks to you for an indeed lenghty post that. I promise I went through it all. A few comments, as far as I understand, the ninkas can be perfectly driven by two amps active (eliminating the passive crossover), then it is just if you want more power so you can power the identic...

Dear all, yes I was aware where I was entering, so please feel assured that I got what I asked for.... I am still owing replies to Charlie, who provided plenty of information: - one on the mains power. I live in an house built in the late sixties in Spain, with partially original electric installati...

Hi tmilligan, there is still no "Sold", so if the Kikkin is still available, I will get it, if you can send it to my adress in Spain. I can make a bank transfer in advance. I assume the power cord is not fixed (excuse my ignorance) so that I can use it with an exchange continental cord. Best regards...

Dear Tokenbrit, Donuk, Music Lover and Charlie, many thanks for the fast reply. I note a tendency for an analog preamp (or integrated), something I did not consider very releant so far having only one source, I considered it wasted money. I had read the new digital volume control of the DS was much ...

Hi out there a few words on how I got where I am now before I will be happy to receive suggestion on where to move on..... - my first real Hifi (after initial attempts with standard stuff that left no impression) was a second hand Cyrus II with PSX and Cyrus DAD 7 player, that was great fun and I do...
