Hi Tony, can you give some detail on the release/pressing? I would be very interested in adding a decent one to my collection. Ta If you don't want to pay silly money, go for something like this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/2209549-John-Coltrane-A-Love-Supreme No digital trickery and a nice...

Oh, that's a great one!

I think Fredrik (and others) have tested this, not specifically for Källa, but as I recall ,they weren't any good. Even a Kikkin would be better, but just go for a Sagatun.

I‘ve listened now; Tom, you’re at least partially right. Steve Gadd’s drums on We Belong Together DO sound like he’s playing cardboard boxes. Strangely, on Pirates they don’t and Art Rodriguez’ drums don’t either. Interestingly, Steve Gadd is actually credited as playing boxes on Woody And Dutch, a ...

Strange, I've had "Pirates" since it came out and never noticed, that it sounds bad. Am I deaf or do I have the elusive "good-sounding" pressing? According to Discogs I have the US original Allied pressing. I must have a listen tonight to check it out. https://www.discogs.com/release/6450468-Rickie-...

Irma Thomas' great second album

Any of his albums up until Flyin' Shoes (1978) is a must! That's not saying the rest is bad (it isn't), just not as cosistently great.

Anyway, here are renewed recordings with recommended power configuration. Källa - NDS - Sagatuns - Tundra stereo C-1 https://e1.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZz8IJZNChQs6cPHo4MQSqXKsv0wJpO4Dik C-2 https://e1.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZh8IJZ2M0bnvau35yhdfmIEbab8hy9ciRy I'm going with C-1 here.

Does anyone here have tested different connectors for their powercables.? And if so,.which ones did you prefer? Gold Plated or Rhodium? Neither, just the standard Lejonklou or Linn power cables. And I'm fairly convinced, that if you fit a Furutach Rhodium connector to either of those cables, it wil...

And the good news is that the Grado extension cable is really good :-) Edit after reading Tom's posting: I don't know which one I've heard of the 2, but it cost around € 49,-

Another great female singer/songwriter, Lera Lynn

This one is actually advertised as a Grado adapter, but I haven't seen it before. The price is very good at € 10,- https://www.fair-kaeuflich.de/product_info.php?language=de&refID=1¤cy=EUR&info=p11229_Grado-Mini-Adapter-3-5-mm-auf-6-35-mm-Klinkenstecker.html&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8o6vrPDE9AIVlajVC...

It's a bit difficult with Khalil, but I prefer A3 and B3

You may want to try the Beyerdynamic adapter for € 6,10 against it.

That's how you transform Charlie Watts from a great drummer into a mediocre one. I have sold all but one of my "audiophile" pressings. I don't buy any remasters, if I can avoid it (originals > € 500,-).

I haven't compared them, but am also interested in this for my Grados. But my experience of Furutech isn't too good, they tend to sound very detailed and "hifi", but leave the tune lying in a ditch...

Jodie Marie's latest album, very enjoyable, but a bit difficult to get outside the UK.

I'm absolutely convinced, that the Tundra Stereo will be a major upgrade on the 5125.

Nothing, except that he would probably need an additional hifi-rack...

That's a great challenge! Or "Under The Boardwalk" from "Girl At Her Volcano".

Sorry for short OT: Thanks Paul! My new Klimax Radikal will be installed on December 5th :-)

Yes, you're in for a very nice upgrade! And I don't think your LP12 is correctly set up, please address this with your dealer, when he fits the Lingo 4.

We were doing a comparison between Anders' demoex Klimax LP12 (original Klimax Radikal) and my LP12 (Klimax Radikal2/Kore/Akito3/Adikt). We didn't do any extended listening and we weren't specifically discussing the K2 Dingles, which is in a way a shame because I would also like to learn more about...

Down is much more expressive and grips me more.

Defender wrote: ↑2021-11-21 11:23 About 70-80% Källa already does better than my LP12 so a pure rational decision would be to have the Källa instead the LP12.
I bet you will find out the same comparing it to your turntable.

Defender, may I ask what recordings/pressings you used to arrive at this conclusion?
