Reply to discussions in the Sagatun Premiere thread;: http://www.lejonklou.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=18991#18991 I feels better if they are placed here.

It was a very interesting evening. Thanks to Fredrik for developing the product and coming to Tonläget to present it. The Sagatun is better than the Klimax Kontrol on tunes, but some preferred the Kontrol for it’s more formal sound (I didn’t). The two preamps where relatively close to one another, c...

I am surprised about the outcome as my own findings were that the Sagatun was better in every respect. Yes, I was very surprised to! ITo assume Sagatun on top of a KK on a mimer K is better than a Mimer 3 on its own is a brave guess. My initial tests shows that the Mimer K is better the less it is ...

I can only agree with what Music Lover has said. The KK was better and I was very surprised by that. But it's not the finished product and the comparison wasn't a 100% fair. Having the Sagatun on top of the KK (on a Mimer K) is likely better than having it on a Mimer 3 shelf on its own. I'm pretty s...

Linn did not use the original drive units. There is detailed information available as to which part and model was used on each version of the Kan. The B110 was modified in several ways and therefore very difficult to find today. As I mentioned in an earlier post I did try a newer KEF B110 "Construc...

I think a cable is a good place to start. Try to find a cable with the Apple connector in one end and RCA in the other. Like this one: http://www.teknikproffset.se/PartnerFiles/Teknikproffset/images/products/38-8184-large_1.jpg It sounds a lot better than when using the headphone output. Then you ca...

Is the EU 240V at 50Hz everywhere? EU standard is 230 VAC @ 50 Hz. This is for single phase power in regular wall outlets. Personally I can't understand how anybody could prefer a KCT/D to a Tundra 1.1 or 1.2. I have only heard Tundras on 230/50. But not all comparisons and systems are the same. I ...

Tha Majik DSM is a great product. Go for it! But why Espek? Is sounds like your dealer has a pair that he wants to get rid of. What are you supposed to pay for them? A pair of Komponent 110's are better (if you dont have a big room or like lots of bass) and are probably cheaper. Majik 109 is also a ...
