Thank you everyone for a great evening! I'd like to point out that I didn't have any particular plans for last night. I brought Tundra number 001 and then we did the comparisons people asked for. As I have made practically zero comparisons with other amplifiers during the entire development of Tundr...

In a few weeks I will have the first batch.

I will be visiting What You See and Hear, Hidden Systems and if possible Cymbiosis in mid April. Making the arrangements just now.

24 hours to go

In general, I have found S/PDIF connections superior to Toslink ones. But I don't know if those results are valid with MDSM. In the past, there was a rather inexpensive black Linn Digital Interconnect cable, intended for S/PDIF cabling. I believe it was introduced with Karik-Numerik and it looked ju...

Hi Adam!

On version 5.1 there's a golden dot after "Slipsik 5" at the back of the unit.

Original parts, later type of connector, home or shop soldered.

Could sound fine and be well worth the money. There is no way to know for certain until you listen to it.

Eleven it is!

As I've been promised an initial batch of ten Tundras from the assembling company, as soon as they've received the finished casings and fronts, number 11 should be the last one of those.

Hi TestCase and welcome here! If you have a Volex cord with the cable in the worse sounding direction, there isn't much you can do about it. Especially the IEC connectors have (so far) proven impossible to replace without ruining the good sound. I haven't personally tried the Marinco and Wattgate co...

If your birthday is the 11th of April, Thomas, I will do my very best to make sure a Tundra arrives in time.

Do you have a lucky number that you would prefer the serial number to be? Number 1, 8 and 9 are not available.

Not sure anything needs to be opened up. At least if your intention is to check whether the parts are original. That's quite easy to spot.

That sounds reassuring!

How long after the release is it possible to buy Tundra? I have just received number 001 and am playing it right now. I'm very pleased, it seems every detail has become exactly as I wanted it. The final tuning process was quick and it sounds fabulous! The exterior is very nice with a black textured...

The power cable is new directly from the factory, and a third of the price in the local shops in Sweden. I hear they vary a lot in quality. Would it still be a lot better than the standard power cable I currently use? Are the ones sold in the local shops tested to be best choice or are they just wh...

This is my experience: * Musically, Linn Silvers vary from worse than good Blacks (not often, but it happens) to much better. * The best Linn Silvers are the oldest ones with the early phono plug. * The worst Linn Silvers are home soldered ones. These can vary a lot in performance. * If you have sev...

Thanks Vic!

Never tried that, but I will

I assume the "baked" record will get a bit noisier. Correct? Not that it matters in this case, as I only use it for setting tone arm height.

A decent Majik set up will outperform a sloppy Klimax one, but that's no good when there's a designer showroom to pay for! There's truth in that, but at the same time: A decent Klimax set up will make the customer understand how much more enjoyable it is than a Majik set up. Right? Thankfully there...

Good job there, Paaf!

Yes, either a 1000 mile service - or start looking for a replacement. When it comes to enjoying vinyl, you're most likely in for some massive upgrades if you do! The cartridge certainly is good enough for many better turntables.

LPs vary a lot in thickness. When setting the height by ear, do you use a thicker LP, say 180g, or not? For about ten years, I used an original copy of The Mamas and the Papas first LP. It's medium thickness and seemed a good compromise. One day last summer, however, the sun was shining in through ...

How do you know that cap is faulty? Looks like a plastic film to me, which hardly ages at all.

Both Anthony and Fredrik prefer bi-wiring 242s. I haven't yet evaluated this in a proper way, so I can't say which I prefer. The more wires, the bigger the sound gets. But it also becomes less homogenic. In addition, the multi-cabling can often not be terminated in the same optimal way as a single ...

Paaf wrote:Charlie1, I tried to PM you but probably there is some spam protection, anyway, sorry but right now buying your used cartridge without stylus seems the wrong way to go for me.

Your PM function is activated, Paaf. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Good to hear that Paaf. And expected. Yes, Rega P3-24 is a good turntable. Even the old Regas are pretty good, if you should happen to find one cheap. If you get a second hand one, though, you might end up in need of service just like you now seem to be. LP12 is the King, but I understand that all t...

minge wrote:So exited Fredrik have you decided whats the price gonna be?

Nice to hear that, Mike! I am too!

Approximate prices will be as follows:

Sweden: 28 800 SEK
Europe: 3 200 Euro
United Kingdom: 2 800 Pounds

I thought it quite easy to hear which one had the suspension locked, what do you all think?

I think the bouncy one is more musical!
