Re: My system today

That's lovely Fredrik! I noticed you have a gregory album among the album covers on your website. I was lucky to see him once here in Gothenburg, he had a hard life you could tell but I didn't care much, it was Gregory! Oh yes did he record a lot! I just looked at discogs and he has 1055 titles list...

Re: My system today

Ok so it seems I have nothing better to do, also it was such a thrill to hear Adele, I love this song. It was hard to sit still and you can hear me snap my fingers, that just came, sorry ;-) You can hear the system has some problems with pitch but also this record is of no good sound quality. You ge...

Re: My system today

Yes Charlie1, i'm sure there is no sub, JERN is powerful. It's almost impossible to go back having bass like this. To be honest I don't think Kans are miles away in what they do, probably a bit better at times and vice versa, but the Kans has so much less information, especially (!) bass, so it's no...

Re: My system today

Thanks Thomas. I think I prefer the casting grey actually, might have to change. The finish on JERN speakers is great, looks great and is super durable. I thought that first track was so raw so I recorded another one with Rhythm and Sound which some of you might know of. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7e...

My system today

I got asked for a recording of my system and today coming home from work I listened some tunes and remembered this. So here is a recording of todays system with my Audiotech supported LP12 which has Karousel/ARadikal/Keel/Ekos Se/Ortofon cadenza bronze, this goes into Lejonklou Entity 1.2 / Boazu 1....

Re: Entity MC

Thank you Efraim! It really pleases me to hear that you’re so happy with your system now. Thank you! You made it possible which is not a understatement in any way, I've been here for 13 years and learned so much. I have been extremely happy since I first got Boazu 1.1 and JERN 12WS speakers. I seri...

Ortofon Cadenza (Bronze!)

I have my Entity in 1.2 version and it really is a remarkable product. I use top flight LP12 and Ortofon Cadenza Bronze at 120ohm setting and it sings!! I much prefer Ortofon Cadenza Bronze to Linn Krystal which I also have. Warning ; Ortofon Cadenza Red, Blue and Black is all less musical than Adi...

Re: Latest Rega MCs

I heard the Apheta 3 on a P8, P10 and My LP12 and I must say I don't like it very much. It's not like so much else that will sound good but totally mess up music, but it's still just very plain I think. Sounds very clean, quite cold, that's about it. It isn't really involving even though it doesn't ...

Re: Entity MC

I wonder how Entity can be so good in comparison to Urika? I never tried to compare but after your reports in this thread I think consensus is that Entity is much better? Everyone agree? I mean Urika has the optimal wiring to input of the phonostage, there is a very good platform for the phonostage ...

Re: Entity MC

I have used Linn Uphorik with the black mogami ekos SE XLR T-Kable as recommended by the designer of Uphorik. I have used Uphorik almost since it came out and loved it year after year. XLR T-Kable was a very nice feature and sounded great as replacement for my original grey ekos SE t-kable which st...

Re: JERN Speakers

I'll see if I find them!.. I actually just redid the tweeters on 15H to try even lower torque, I was to start at 0,6nm but the tool didn't work well at low torques so I gave up, the tweeter screws is a bit more unprecise in their movement, maybe there is pieces gasket in between or something. I reme...

Re: Vintage Amps

Do remember, don't forget, the MYST TMA3! Very nice tube like sonics, the power amp is goood. Plenty of bass drive in very good time! It really feels like the naits would be lacking in comparison but a little hard to compare A/B since I have MC on Myst and MM on Naits. One advantage with myst is als...

Re: JERN Speakers

Yes it is very satisfying to find the right torque with JERN speakers it seems :) They are sensitive to installation in general. I can't find my note on the values for 12WS with the SR tool commonly used around here, I'll look for it. I also did the torque yesterday for my 15H since I think I had op...

Re: JERN Speakers

Great intiative, Roots! ...Regarding 14ds vs 12ws I think it might also be a bit room dependent. In my bigger living room the 8 ohm, 88db 14 works a little better, because they fill the room easier. They get a bit strident in my smaller room, were the 12ws worked better, is fuller and goes deeper w...

Re: JERN Speakers

Wow, I think JERN 35 is barley out. Very interesting, the price might be high on this one. JERN 12WS is 2400euros a pair. JERN 15H is 5000euros a pair. The 35 is going to be more. Regarding Kan mk1 and IBL, I enjoyed kans so much for a few years in my everyday system. I really wanted to find IBL to ...

Re: JERN Speakers

I think JERN speakers are great, especially the 12WS which seems to be the sweet spot imho, with the scanspeak tweeter. I now have the JERN 15H which is less direct in pace and rhythm but much more tuneful and very, very good bass for such a small speaker. I tried my old kans mk1 the other day and ...

JERN Speakers

I decided to start a new thread livicated to JERN speakers, separate from the vintage amp thread which started some discussion on these excellent speakers. I have been using JERN speakers for 2,5 years, I replaced a pair of Klångedang T1 with JERN 12WS. Just before this I still had my Naim amps and ...

Re: Vintage Amps

It helps Charlie1, thanks! I have yet not heard a NAC12 IRL, and I'm sad to hear you prefer it without Snaps since that is what I would need. I'm not surprised though, that's how I got my naim amps to sound at its best too, no psu for preamp, at least not hicap. I thought that snaps might be better....

Re: Vintage Amps

Oh really. I have a 42.5 which is a lovely example with similar serial number as my 110's. I had several before aswell and I just don't get along with it. It sounds so incredibly upfront "glassy"/"steely". So I really miss a preamp for my NAP's, I also need pre with PSU so I can hook up my NAP110 as...

The JERN 12WS are certainley worth a try since that kind of speaker performance is so rare! And yes I feel lucky regarding the Myst, funny enough I bought it from the same guy I bought my first naims from, my beloved original nait and NAP 110. Ten years later I also sourced another NAP110 from him w...

It's a good idea to get a standard naim interconnect rca-din as your reference. There is so many cables that sounds different but isn't better.

Re: Entity interconnects for Naim

No sorry I had already sold them when I got the hiline rca rca. I didn't really love the silvers, not much better compared to Linn blacks or my older OFC version of Atlas Equator which I think is really good too. Now with hiline it's not really possible to use anything else, it's so rich and musical...
