Re: Lejonklou Boazu Integrated Amp
Thinking about it a bit more, my preference would be three tiered. 1) The volume control should be engineered for maximum musicality, regardless of any other considerations. 2) Within the limitations of 1, the maximum volume should be set so as to prevent clipping with Källa. 3) If someone is using ...

Re: Lejonklou Boazu Integrated Amp
I suppose we really need to understand what the advantages and/or disadvantages are with limiting at 78 or 100. I must admit, I’m not sure how relevant the question is. Couldn’t the volume control be set up to max out at 100 whilst limiting the voltage output to ensure the amplifier stays within its...

Re: Lejonklou Boazu Integrated Amp
Fredrik, when you say “remove the child safety feature”, do you mean remove the 78 limit and allow the amp to go to 100, or remove the ability to choose to go to 100 and permanently lock the volume at 78? Personally, I like the idea of limiting the output of the amplifier so that it always works wit...

Re: Which App ? (Streaming + Local)
Thank you Fredrik. The obvious question then is what’s best? 4/5G directly to Källa or wired/cable internet through Amplifi HD and GS108T? I’ve heard David Neal’s 4/5G connection and it was excellent, even though it went through a GS108T. I’m currently running a 4/5G router directly into Källa and I...

Re: Which App ? (Streaming + Local)
Am I right in thinking that some 4/5G routers sound better when connected directly to Källa and the Amplifi HD benefits from the addition of a 108T between the HD and Källa?

Re: Boazu vs Tundra 2.2 (with various preamps)
Me too. FWIW I think the child safety feature is a great idea and have often wondered why every amplifier isn’t limited in this way.springwood64 wrote: ↑2024-02-18 08:09 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)
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. Same here. With a little liquid lubrication, I can listen to Boazu at literally 100% volume. It’s pretty loud, but there’s absolutely no signs of dis...

Re: ThomasOK's System
Slight threadjack here, but are any of your silvers sleeves getting "goopy" and sticky as they age? I just happened to be inspecting my two pairs of silvers yesterday. It was quite difficult to unscrew one of the barrels and when I looked closer, the cable was a slightly different colour and had a ...

Yep. I’ve just received a CAT6a from them and it only took 4 days to arrive. The cables are great quality and very reasonably priced.

Re: ThomasOK's System
Thanks Thomas. I can imagine soldering Silver plugs being quite difficult. The Black plugs are pretty straightforward, however the Silvers are quite a bit more massive, requiring considerably more energy to bring the plug up to the right temperature, yet the cables are relatively lightweight which p...

Re: ThomasOK's System
Am I right in thinking you listen to the Silvers individually Thomas? If so, have you found differences between cables from an original pair, resulting in new matched pairs consisting of two red or two black cables?

Since you can solder, have you thought about soldering links directly on the crossover board inside the speaker?

Re: iPhone/iPad Directly to Källa?
Do you mean using a 4G/5G router, Spannko? I use a TP-link Archer MR200 4G-router in my lab. It’s powered from a strip with 3 outlets that powers nothing else. An 8.5 feet Blue Jeans Cable CAT 6a connects MR200 to Källa. No switch is necessary, as it only degrades the music when inserted between MR...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Thanks for the Roger Russell link Thomas. I found the article really interesting, particularly the designers goal of maintaining a good phase and transient response and the suggestion to evaluate the loudspeakers using musical criteria. How little things have changed in the intervening 65 years!

Re: Setting up loudspeakers for the best tune
Reading advices on the internet they tell you to place the speakers about 60 cm off the wall behind. I placed the rounded backsides of my speakers ca. 30 cm from the wall and to me that’s quite an optimum for the bass. The Tune Method: “Try (read: Tune) Again. Fail Again. Fail Better.” As Beckett o...

Re: Pete's System
Sorry Pete, I really don’t like the effect of the sound absorbers. They reduce your lovely musical system to a pretty boring audiophile system. The sort of damping you’re using works very non linearly. Off the top of my head, 50mm rockwool will absorb nearly all frequencies above approx 1000Hz and v...
