I agree these clips are difficult. And it's one speaker only playing, which makes it worse.

The lower bass is where I find the most difference. When I listen on the computer speakers, it's hopeless. With Airpods Max, it's a lot easier (they go deep).

I'm going to follow up on my test in November, where you listened to the difference between 352 and 353 degrees Celsius on one soldered joint. Most of you preferred 353 degrees C. Here were the two clips: https://www.lejonklou.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=71527#p71527 I went ahead with the idea of tryi...

What are your thoughts on completely rebuilding the crossover with high-quality components? My thoughts are these: You will fail miserably. I tried to improve the filters, certain that it would not be particularly difficult. It was the opposite. Every value is precisely where it should be. Every co...

Measure what is most practical. If the loudspeaker cabinets are rectangular boxes, you can measure the distance apart between the upper inside edges. If they have rounded shapes, you might have to find some other point that is easier to measure.

By the way, does anyone feel that this topic should become a ‘sticky’, so that it’s always on top?

Hi erho! The distance apart (left to right speaker) is usually the same or close to the same as with the speakers against another wall. I don’t consider it important at all where you sit. If you wish to maximise the stereo effect, you sit with the speakers at equal distance in front of you, like a t...

Interesting Sopper! As I’ve been through these same tests before, can I humbly suggest you test some cables that are in between these two? Because neither K400 nor single core have ever sounded any good in mains applications, in my experience. Offcourse, Fredrik And what cable/wire would that be? I...

I second all of tokenbrit's thoughts!

Check out this review of DCA Stealth where Giella ∏ receives praise:

Special thanks to Pierre at Headonist in Paris, who sent Koji a Giella!

Sounds like you are covering the microphones when recording?

I lean towards Brasso.

Nota bene: This could all be due to something entirely different being wrong with Hermann’s SM.

But from Hermann’s detailed descriptions, his highly sensitive Isobarik-on-Mana system and my own listening tests, I strongly suspect the higher torque below the main board.

I'm ordering a pick-up of Hermann's Sagatun Mono for a return to my lab. I believe I know what the problem is. I have only done a handful of Sagatun 1.7 upgrades so far. The procedure consists of several details, such as changes to the power supplies (which take a long time to break in), new screws ...

The senseless modifications of Linn gear, made by a guy who has no idea what he’s doing to the music, have been mentioned on this forum before. Do not give these people your money and don’t let them near anything that you own. Part of the linked thread refers to linear power Supplies. It is good to...

Welcome to the forum, Lio! I don’t have any answer to your question, as my NAS is disconnected since many months. Although there are many optimally ripped albums on it, I felt the difference in sound quality compared to Qobuz and Spotify was so small that it wasn’t worth the hassle. In addition, dis...

I find A quite a lot better on Kari.

We've gone through all the settings on the Spotify app again. I recommend that you check yours, because the difference in musical quality can be big. If you did check them a while back, you might need to redo it, because when the app is updated, some settings can change. And new settings are sometim...

Even later to the party, I found the comparison difficult and the difference small.

Have you tried what happens if you have no washer in between foot and speaker?

I think the difference in surface area makes a bigger impact than the material of the washer.

Hello k_numigl!

So what you are saying is that the Karousel should be sitting with its three “pegs” in the middle of the holes in the Keel? And not pressing against the edges of those holes?

If using passive speakers, like your Espeks, Pete, black on Boazu should go to black on the speakers. And red on Boazu should go to red on the speakers.

In other words, don’t invert anything.

You’re too kind.

Happy New Year to all the members of this fantastic forum!

I like your latest clip too, Spannko!

And I’m going to give that seven category rating system a try. Aiming for the Posh Nosh levels!

Merry Christmas to you all!

Have forgotten to update this thread. TM3 number 055 and 056 were shipped to Amsterdam. TM3 number 057 and 058 are soon shipping to North America. TM3 number 059 and 060 I plan to keep in the lab as demo units. As mentioned when Tundra Mono 3 was released, 78 main boards were made. Nearly all of the...
