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...

On a side note, Kikkin is reverse phase like the old Kairn - in case you didn't know or had forgotten. True. But when swapping red and black connectors on the back of the speakers, please do compare which absolute phase sounds best. Because even if there ought to be a right and wrong on this issue,...

1 for me.

Ha ha!

My problems playing the clips have disappeared.

I prefer B.

I’ve also got problems with playing B. And currently I’m unable to download anything.

Cool!

Your Sagatun stereo was the one in the clips. The first one to be upgraded to 1.7.

Sopper wrote: ↑2023-12-01 15:39 Can you tell me more about the new feet?

The feet are the same as before, only changed to new ones. It’s worth replacing them every five years or so.

Two songs: 1 and 2. Two preamps: A and B. What do you think? Will tell you more the 1st of December! https://lejonklou.com/1A.MOV https://lejonklou.com/1B.MOV https://lejonklou.com/2A.MOV https://lejonklou.com/2B.MOV Thank you all for sharing your opinions and votes!

Each listening session has been a very active experience. This isn't the same as the common 'upgrade experience' of playing familiar music to hear how much better it sounds, this seems to be a new way of experiencing music that used to be familiar but now is something different. Thank you Pete for ...
