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 ...

Re: Tony Tune-age System
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: My Lejonklou home
Fred,
I forgot to say earlier, if you are ever in the Midwest of America, let me know and perhaps I can arrange for a listening session.
Cheers!

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! Live concerts have never sound good me! I think mainly because ...

Just found this article listed below, it compares the sound of vinyl with CD's and streaming. It was written in September of 2020.

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: Entity MC
Congratulations to Fredrik indeed, yet another very nice review! Thanks for posting Thomas! Congratulations again to Fredrik!

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).

Re: Hermanns System
That's a good song, and I really like clip B the best. Her voice is way more natural and realistic sounding, as are the musical instruments.

Re: High Schooler’s System
Actually, there was a time when I had a Harman-Kardan stereo receiver, and I think it was part tube and part solid state. It may have been 25 watts per channel, although I don't remember the model number. But in any case, it sounded really good. I ended up selling it when I began going into separate...

Re: Cheap power strips for best sound.
Good news. Thanks Tom - I see Revelation mods in my future... +1 - Great job Thomas, applying the proper torque value seems to be very important to nearly every aspect of the audio chain. The only thing that hasn't sounded better with a specific torque value is the Linn Trampolin (unless that has c...

I'm not real sure how much time the "burn-in" takes, but I didn't notice any significant sound change after being on for a few days. 🔶 A quick question without having to look in the thread. How long "burn-in" time does Entity need.... I will leave this question for owners to answer, because I am not...
