Re: Recommended control points
is there meanwhile any verdict where streaming Spotify through AppleTV finds its place compared to other control points in the list? I don't know about Apple TV's ranking as a control point for Källa but, subjectively, tvOS 17 is sounding good here... do you have a sense of where it sits compared a...

Re: Recommended control points
Has anyone tried using a 9th gen iPad* as a control point? Apparently it utilizes the same A13 chip as the iPhone 11 - just wondering if it represents good musical value for money?

iPadOS / iOS 17 ?
Is anyone planning to upgrade to 17 this coming week, and prepared to report on any impact on control point musicality, positive or negative? It seems there may be some (useful?) changes to the AirPlay interface in 17 that could possibly streamline connecting the Spotify app to Kalla, but I haven't ...

Re: The conclusion of digital volume regulation
… Someone just mentioned an akurate kontrol in a recent post as a Great preamp but I can’t seem to find that thread. I’m on the verge of buying a pre 2010 Akurate Kontrol and was wondering if that had a DVC as well or is it considered an analog amp with dacs for the digital inputs. Has anyone tried...

Re: Damping an Akurate Radikal?
“Stick with it” :) - I like that… From what I gather, it’s only with the adhesive that it damps. Just placing it on top would be equivalent to placing a magazine on top. But thanks for the thought. I may start by placing small piece on the inside of the casing, rather than a large piece. I have eno...

Re: Damping an Akurate Radikal?
We know that a Klimax Radikal is better. I’ve heard it myself. But I have the Akurate casing. Has anyone ever tried adding damping to the Akurate casework? I’ve just had my car doors damped with Dynamat to minimise the speaker boom/resonance. This was successful, and there are some offcuts… Dynamat...

Re: Hermanns System
I did wonder about the height of the 5/5s, but saw that the listening position is raised on a dais, and Hermann did admit that “the Grahams weren't optimally set up”… I know I’d be reluctant to mess with the meticulously installed stack of mana stands unless the Grahams showed promise over the ‘brik...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Not N! M is for Music - elements hold together, and support the rhythm & music. N is just not - it feels exaggerated and disjointed with no connection between voice and percussion, losing the music in the process. I enjoyed M; felt like stopping N almost immediately - surprising, and not had a negat...

Re: Speakers more tuneful than Linn
Apparently that’s “an excellent track for auditioning soundstage width and depth” … (a)musing that there are those that go for that rather than listening to the music* :shrug:

Re: Actually thought Linn prices don't excite me
Did you buy your Ekstatik from said "friendly dealer"? If so, then I'm not sure they're deserving of that title. €26 isn't a lot to protect a €7.2k cart, but it's also an opportunity for a little goodwill on the part of the dealer (& Linn?) in appreciation of the (repeat) business 🤔

Re: General Discussion about Källa
Yep, mine usually goes a similar amount of time between restarts... sometimes longer; rarely less than 2 weeks. Unusual to run into problems, but thanks again for making us aware, and reporting that it was an easy fix.

Thanks for sharing ekay. Good to know, and glad a restart fixed things. Something to watch/listen for...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Getting more musical integration from the separates; more separation from the integrated... 50 sounds (mighty) impressive but still not quite gelling, like Tom mentioned against the other clips/system - better in this system, but not better than the 12/160, for me.
