Re: Tony Tune-age System

I decided to use my Lejonklou coffee mug, and of course wear my Lejonklou polo shirt while listening to the Entity 1.2 and Sagatun Stereo 1.7 upgrades. Findings and thoughts following soon...

Re: Tony Tune-age System

Yes, this can get confusing. I agree that the ranking of the stereo units is SS1.7, SK, SS1.4 musically (starting with the best). I also agree that Sagatun Mono 1.4 is yet more musical than all of those and the 1.7 better still, of course. Needless to say, Tony will be getting a nice upgrade when h...

Re: Pete's System

Forgot to mention that I think your system sounds great without sound absorbers. Maybe you should just leave it as it is. :-) Thanks! The speakers are not immobile, but they are as solid as I can make them without removing the carpet. I tried removing the skeets, but this did not make them less lia...

Re: Slipsik 8

To close the loop, I have now ordered a Slipsik and am very excited. ;) I seriously thought about staying with moving magnet cartridges for awhile, and if I had there's no doubt I would be using the Slipsik 8 phono preamplifier! And it can be used for some high output moving coil cartridges as well.

Re: Tony Tune-age System

I got some good news today...my Entity has been upgraded to the 1.2 version, and is on the way home now. In addition, my Sagatun stereo preamplifier will be upgraded from 1.4 to 1.7 next week. And as previously stated by Herman, Thomas O'Keefe said the Sagatun 1.7 upgrade is very noticeable. And as ...

Good morning Hermann, Glad to hear you have the 1.7 upgrade, and I did read the most recent posts in your system thread...most interesting indeed. It's certainly a significant upgrade, with several parts and new specific torque values. As such, it probably takes a fair amount of time to complete eve...

Re: Tony Tune-age System

I'm finally getting around to upgrading my Entity 1.1 to the 1.2 version. My intention was to get it done sooner, but I got busy with several other projects that needed attention. And of course the Sagatun Stereo Preamplifier has another upgrade offering as well, although I didn't know until today. ...

Re: How we define "good sound"

In my opinion, these are all good questions. Musical for me (without trying to offend anybody), stands for natural sounding, realistic sounding and similar sounding to live musical performances...either studio or live concerts. Cheers!

Re: Tony Tune-age System

I just found out from Thomas the other day there's another upgrade for the Entity 1.1, and the cost is really low! The turntable grounding section has been changed with different parts, and the idea comes from from the Singularity. And the sonic improvement is big enough to make the Entity a 1.2 now...

Re: New Linn Launch 2022

After listening to both sets of clips, the K20 cable does seem to have better bass on the Eagles song and perhaps a little better sounding overall. Also, the Al Stewart song is a little more natural and realistic sounding with the K20 cable (better vocals and piano).
