I prefer without.

And as I've likely said before: Such a stylish and cozy room!

Thank you TMV! I need to try this.

And you should try a GS108T switch in between Amplifi and Källa, powered by the “digital power strip” that now feeds Amplifi, Amplifi and NAS. I think you will like it a lot.

Thank you! But how are they powered?

Can you explain how you connect everything, TMV?

If possible with a sketch like the recommended setup.

Very interesting, Spannko! Thank you for sharing.

I do too! Sounds very promising.

I have so many questions about this project. I’ll start with the first: Why the upward mounting of the mid/bass driver? Did you try mounting it above or below the tweeter and what were your conclusions?

Another review, this time in French! 🇫🇷

Did you desolder and then resolder the cable or did you cut it? I have a special cable that I've used for small mass joint comparisons for at least a decade. I still have more than 50 of them so I can let the joints age and hear the impact of time and burn-in. I first make sure they sound exactly t...

The single joint soldered with these temperatures was the inner (signal) lead on the single RCA interconnect between Källa and one Sagatun Mono. IIUC, the soldering was done on a Linn Silver IC on the Källa end or the SM end or on both ends? Not a Silver IC, but a cable I use for these tests only. ...

Fredrik, with this knowledge in hand do you think you'll be able to produce interconnects that's even better than Linn Silver? If so then you'll have me and very likely a bunch of other people lining up to buy a pair! I have tried and failed. Maybe one day I will succeed. Just bought myself a pair ...

Thank you for your replies! Clip 1 was 666 degrees Fahrenheit = 352.2 degrees Celsius Clip 2 was 667 degrees Fahrenheit = 352.8 degrees Celsius Clip 3 was 667.4 degrees Fahrenheit = 353 degrees Celsius Clip 4 was 668 degrees Fahrenheit = 353.3 degrees Celsius Clip 5 was 669 degrees Fahrenheit = 353....

I do use my own amplifiers, every day. This system, however, consists of Källa, Sagatun Mono and JBL708P. It’s really good for movies and pretty good for music. The 708’s have certain strengths which are fundamentally different from those of Klångedang T1’s (which I find more musical but they strugg...

I don’t know exactly what Roon Rock consists of, but I recommend staying well away from their software if you care about music. Källa works with Roon (well at least so far it has) but looses its magic. This is because the optimised timing of Protokoll is messed up by Roon taking charge of what is pl...

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.
