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?

Re: Pete's System
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...

iPhone/iPad Directly to Källa?
I don’t remember this being discussed. Has anyone tried using their iThing with 4/5G via a WAP/GS108 combo connected directly to Källa?

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...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
I'm definitely liking the music coming through these, although I do miss the other notes. I have always loved Bouree and am big into Jethro Tull, at least up through most of the 70s. The bass has a very rounded, juicy quality that I quite like and the notes are easy to follow. You might want to loo...

Re: How we define "good sound"
Can't recall a concert that sounded so bad I couldn't enjoy the music. Most sound pretty rough. Been to some half-decent indoor ones though. I saw Elton John when he was being sponsored by Roland. He sat centre front with a Roland electric piano which sounded so incoherent/out of tune, every song w...

Re: Linn Keilidh Versions
The only change I have a clear memory of is the first tweeter upgrade, which I felt to be a significant upgrade in both sound and musicality. I’ve got a feeling that there was a cabinet upgrade too, which included the addition of a Kustone block. The earlier tweeters looked like Scanspeak/Hiquphon d...

Ah, ok. I understand. This is something I’ve wondered myself, but until I’ve tried them in a larger room I won’t really know.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Thanks gents. Re the bass unit position: tbh, it came about by chance whilst determining the optimal enclosure volume. I built a conventionally shaped enclosure with a rear panel which could be moved back and forth, altering the internal volume. Due to the relatively large area of the rear panel, ju...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Here’s another update on my diy loudspeaker project. I’m still only listening to one loudspeaker, and the loudspeaker is just sitting on the floor without any coupling/decoupling, and imperfectly sealed.

I’m a bit late due to wanting to be sure before posting, however I feel a bit of a dick posting when the answer has been announced! Of the five clips I prefer no.3.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
I’d recommend cutting up a Linn mains lead with the writing running against the direction of current flow, making sure the cable is reversed in the distribution unit. I’ve done this with an old MK distribution unit and at the time I thought the results were quite good.
