Re: The heart of the Domesticaone home system

The records leaning against the side remind me of the similar stacks in my room except mine lean against a record cabinet that I need to reorganize to fit more of them in. My records are all carefully organised in my two cabinets, but my son's rapidly growing collection is colonising the space betw...

Distorted Duffy?

Has anyone else listened to Duffy's 2008 album Rockferry? If so, do you hear distortion on some of her vocals. I hear it normally on "Serious" I first heard it on the vinyl LP when I played it on my LP12. I thought maybe it was down to the pressing. However, I can still hear it I think on Spotify an...

iPad Mini 6 Needs Restart?

I haven't done any systematic testing, but I think I've observed that sometimes my iPad Mini 6 benefits from a reboot.

With the Tundra Mono 3 and their permanently lit LEDs, I would go one step further and have the Sagatun LEDs also light up in the color of the set volume. Do you mean that you would prefer that the volume indicator is permanently lit? Instead of fading out 3 seconds after the last volume change, as...

Spannko wrote: 2024-02-29 15:46 The actual number given to the maximum volume setting is pretty irrelevant. It could be 42, 78, 100 or any number in between.
The manual says that the volume goes up in 1dB steps from 0db to 78dB with the limit in place and 0dB to 100db with it removed.

Re: Lejonklou Boazu Integrated Amp

When listening to music, I usually stay a couple of dB below the max with the safety limit on, because that's the level that brings the most enjoyment. So for my use, the additional available volume isn't necessary. Also, I would not want to take Boazu up to the point where it clips or otherwise deg...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

Listening on headphones from phone browser while travelling on a tram to work .... I was torn between B and C.

B has a more engaging sound - it immediately grabbed my attention - but after a couple of listens I found C draws me into the music more.

So my preference:
1. C
2. B
3. A

Re: Boazu vs Tundra 2.2 (with various preamps)

For clarification, I've never removed the upper volume limit when listening to Boazu, so my comment relates to listening up to the 'child safety' limit.

Re: Boazu vs Tundra 2.2 (with various preamps)

I found with Hakai as source that it could get a bit raw when I turned the volume up to max, so I suspect what you're hearing is the limitations of the source, not the amplification.

Re: Boazu vs Tundra 2.2 (with various preamps)

With Källa or Axis as source I can take Boazu as loud as it will go and there's no loss of magic. If anything, it just gets better as it gets louder.

It's very important to secure the internet router and gateway. Make sure that you have changed the administrator password and the firmware is up to date.

Re: Is the Netgear GS 108 Safe?

I couldn't find any posts regarding Netgear GS108T.

Even if it does have security flaws, it's not going to create security weaknesses for those of us using it with an internet router, since the internet router provides the defenses against external attack, not the Netgear.
