Re: Lejonklou Boazu Integrated Amp

I mentioned yesterday in another thread that we would be starting out the year with a really fine Boazu review. I didn’t realize we would be actually starting out the year with it but we did as it posted today! Here is the link: https://enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0124/Lejonklou_Boazu_Stere...

Re: Hermanns System

Happy new year too! Owning Lejonklou devices is more like owning artisanal musical instruments than consumer electronics, and the knowledge of the care and precision that goes in to making each one adds to the enjoyment that the music brings. I fully agree with what is said here and above by Herman...

Re: Superkikkin

Yes, there are 100 being built. Numbers are sequential whether US, UK or Europe and those listed (30-35) are higher than what I have here. I expect the 100 should last for a reasonable amount of time.

I think that idea is certainly worth trying out. It could indeed improve the sound but there is only one way to know.

Re: Kikkin into Mdsm/3

Yes, it will work just fine. I'm not going into another preamp so I have the pre-amp outputs adjustable but this feeds active speakers and all inputs work through the system. As stefan mentions you would want to set the pre-out to fixed which will also disable the internal volume control and keep th...

Re: Opinion LINN LINGO1 v, LINN LINGO 2,3

I thought the Lingo 2 was a significant step up from the Lingo 1. The Lingo 3 is just a Lingo 2 board in a different case and I felt they basically sounded the same. Lingo 4 is a completely different design with a different motor and I feel it is a substantial step up musically from all previous Lin...

Re: Pete's System

I came across a suggestion on Beck's thread to try placing cables on a sheepskin rug. Happily my wife has a sheepskin rug which I borrowed to support the power cables. Unhappily, my wife was quick to spot the theft and is unimpressed. Even worse, to my ears it makes an improvement and now I don't w...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

I had to go back and forth several times on these two clips. At first I was drawn to the Kans as they have a punchy sound on the drums and vocals that does propel the sound. But on going back and forth I felt that the 109s were more even with the strings coming through more naturally (tunefully) ins...

Thanks, Thomas. Is this the Quadraspire you're referring to? https://quadraspire.co.uk/wall-brackets/ Do you have access to second examples of your preferred shelves ? if not, how far into 2024 will the wait be for your recreation and what's the approximate price point?

Re: Wall Shelf For Linn LP12 Turntable With Trampolin?

The best wall shelf I am aware of is the long-discontinued AudioTech one (I believe Archidee made essentially the same one for a while). For a little while TigerPaw made a unit based on the same design a few years back but they also stopped trading a while ago. I have customers using the Quadraspire...

Re: Utopik upgrade

I added a Utopik to my ADS Kat about a month ago. It is a very worthwhile upgrade - at least as big as when I upgraded to the Katalyst board. So regardless of pricing debates, it is well worth doing. The sound is more like music - another step towards having a band in the room. Don't expect immedia...
