Re: My Lejonklou home

Missed this thread somehow.

Very attractive systems and rooms.

Glad you're enjoying the Lejonklou equipment. I must have a listen to the Jern's sometime.

Re: Tony Tune-age System

I'm glad Tony. Entity 1.1 to 1.2 is an inconspicuous update with a big impact. And the Sagatun upgrade is a real revelation. I agree. I wasn't entirely sold on the Entity until hearing the 1.2 version (kindly loaned by a forum member). Bought a Slipsik 8 in the end but that was no reflection on the...

Re: How we define "good sound"

Can't recall a concert that sounded so bad I couldn't enjoy the music. Most sound pretty rough. Been to some half-decent indoor ones though.

Linn Keilidh Versions

I was gonna get my passive Keilidhs serviced with new Alcaps, or possibly Solens. They are an early pair fitted with the final version of tweeter (SPKR 015/3), or maybe the seller said it was the Ninka tweeter. Anyway, before spending out on that work, I wondered if I should first buy the final Keil...

Please can you share your thoughts on the mk II's once you're done evaluating - thanks.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

Trying to factor in the bass more then probably not clip 2. I thought 3-5 sounded a bit speeded up but now they seem better. I dunno. Maybe clip four. I'm out of my league really.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

That was very difficult and I have low confidence in my choice - i.e., I could pick another one tomorrow and another the day after. I can't blame the gear either cos I'm on the MAC and using my most musical headphones (the old K24P). I did always struggle with the JBLs though, except that one clip y...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

I find Track B (112) easier to follow but they both show off the strengths of a Lejonklou system very well.

Slightly eccentric guy but I quite like him.

Lot of audiophile speak but I still get the impression he enjoyed the Giella Pi's music making abilities.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

I didn't like Air, by comparison to the other two.

Hard to be sure but think I liked Brassic a touch more than Brasso.

Katan Stands

I know it's going back a bit for many of you but any advise on the best stand for Katans. Kan 2 stands plus rubber feet on the speakers is very engaging but not the best sound. The speakers are too narrow to sit on all four spikes. Katan stands with the speakers on their spikes is a better sound but...

Re: Linn Factory Tour

On a loosely related note, I got some Katans this week. They are a late pair from 2007-ish and I'm a bit stunned how much better they are than speakers that followed, such as the M109 and mk2 212. They remind me of a couple of special upgrades, Arkiv B to Akiva and Ekos 2 to Ekos SE (when Keel was a...

Great description of my difficulties with it.

Hopefully you have unlocked something. Looking forward to seeing if it also settles Fredrik's misgivings.
