Another vote for B; Song 2 left me cold on A and got my head bopping on B.

This is the way to go!

Has this ever been done, do you know?

In high-end car audio applications this very common, sometimes with very good results.

You could always ask Mr. Lejonklou directly, if he could sell you a Sagatun or Superkikkin preamp...

What effect does the high capacity have on the sound? If the capacitance is 300-400 pF too high, it will produce a sizeable bump in the frequency response around 7-10 kHz and thereafter the frequency response drops rapidly. If your cartridge has a high inductance (around 1000 mH), this behaviour wi...

Hi and welcome to the forum, 1. I'm convinced the Entity will easily be more musical than the Rega Fono. 2. I don't see any reason, why the AR wouldn't work well with Entity and Källa. In fact, I'm sure you'll be surprised by how good it sounds with those components connected. 3. If you cannot find ...

No, the Nait 50 has a 100 pF phono input.

Yes, for most cartridges this is too high, since in addition to that you have to add the capacity of the phono cable and tonearm cable.

I prefer 353, it has a natural groove. In comparison 352 seems slightly disjointed, which kept me wanting to return to 353.

Very nice! And the cartridge even matches the colour of the Rega ;-)

A timeless classic!

Of course it fits, but you may need to adjust the height of the tonearm using the Rega spacers: https://www.rega.co.uk/accessories/2mm- ... -stainless

But logical from a manufacturer's point of view.

Yes, but not the Akurate Kontrol

I like A best, B is dragging the rhythm, C is quite ok too.

Hello and welcome!
The 0,4 mV at 3,54 cm/s means 0,5656 mV at 5 cm/s. So with the Dynavector's output of 0,3 mV at 5 cm/s you're ok.
What are your thoughts regarding an upgrade? Or maybe open a new thread for that.
Cheers, Björn

Big thanks for this info, Tom!

Thank god they didn't! I love Fagen's vocals...

This Lejonklou Kinki could go cheaply, now at SEK 2.000,- (€ 175,-)

Or maybe a Rega Fono MM or Cambridge Audio Solo?

Took a while, but is the Linn Axis a good deal? Linn Axis turntable with Linn Basic plus arm 425EUR https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/linn-axis-plattenspieler-mit-linn-basik-plus-arm/2522564557-172-1522 It's one of the cheapest Axises I've seen in Germany for a while and I don't think the bear...

matthias wrote: ↑2023-09-23 08:12 What is the function of the switch?

Presumably to switch between inputs 1 and 2.

I would probably do it like this (I also have a Quadraspire rack):
1. Axis (top)
2. Källa
3. Kinki
4. Boazu
5. Ubiquity & Netgear
6. Empty (bottom)

Has anyone tried an akurate Kontrol (The 5.1 older casing version) as a preamp for a tundra? That is basically an Exotik preamp, which really isn't the best Linn preamp... I'm quite sure it doesn't have a DVC, but do you really need all that surround decoding etc.? Wouldn't a Giella ∏ or Superkikki...
