Have forgotten to update this thread. TM3 number 055 and 056 were shipped to Amsterdam. TM3 number 057 and 058 are soon shipping to North America. TM3 number 059 and 060 I plan to keep in the lab as demo units. As mentioned when Tundra Mono 3 was released, 78 main boards were made. Nearly all of the...

On a side note, Kikkin is reverse phase like the old Kairn - in case you didn't know or had forgotten. True. But when swapping red and black connectors on the back of the speakers, please do compare which absolute phase sounds best. Because even if there ought to be a right and wrong on this issue,...

1 for me.

Ha ha!

My problems playing the clips have disappeared.

I prefer B.

I’ve also got problems with playing B. And currently I’m unable to download anything.

If you email me I will assist, info@lejonklou.com

Cool!

Your Sagatun stereo was the one in the clips. The first one to be upgraded to 1.7.

The feet are the same as before, only changed to new ones. It’s worth replacing them every five years or so.

Two songs: 1 and 2. Two preamps: A and B. What do you think? Will tell you more the 1st of December! https://lejonklou.com/1A.MOV https://lejonklou.com/1B.MOV https://lejonklou.com/2A.MOV https://lejonklou.com/2B.MOV Thank you all for sharing your opinions and votes!

Each listening session has been a very active experience. This isn't the same as the common 'upgrade experience' of playing familiar music to hear how much better it sounds, this seems to be a new way of experiencing music that used to be familiar but now is something different. Thank you Pete for ...

Since 666F to 668F takes you from 352.2C to 353.3C you have three F temperatures in the range of two C so it wouldn't seem to work if they were rounding to the nearest temperature form some internal reference. Plus if it is just a readout you'd think it would be easy to change. So I'm betting that ...

OK, so the ferrule article number is 270168? And then the square ferrule is fitted into the round hole of the copper banana and screwed in place? That step seems a little imperfect. What if one could combine the copper ferrule with the banana connector into one piece? Do you think that could be poss...

How are you fitting 2.5 mm2 ferrules on 4 mm2 copper?

I found it useful in the lab and we just left it in there.

My experience with Linn’s plug in aktiv cards is that the level of the amps always end up on default setting (is that position 4? Don’t remember). Adjusting them up or down is always worse, regardless of whether the speakers are optimally positioned or very far from optimal. The reason behind the de...

Very interesting Sopper! I had these two copper models in my drawer. Top one is “Liton USA” and from the shiny and non-oxidised finish (after years in that drawer) I kind of suspect it isn’t pure copper. Bottom one is Viborg Audio and they look exactly like the ones you’re using, apart from yours ha...

Update: I saw in your other thread that there’s a turntable, an Entity, Kikkin and Tundra in your system. Or at least soon will be. Then I propose the following order for the components in your power strip: Mains power in Kikkin Källa Turntable Entity Tundra That’s five units, are there any more? If...

My home network has the service providers modem connected to a Netgear switch (not the suggested model as I require more ports) which provides separate direct wired connections to the Källa on a fixed IP from the main router. The main Netgear switch (attached with the main router) also, through an ...

Interesting discussion! Can I just point out one detail that seems to be missing (likely by mistake, as I’m sure you all know this): Active crossovers are placed before the power amplifiers, while passive crossovers are placed after the power amplifiers. This makes their respective negative impact o...

Thank you for that report on buying European made HiFi in India, ljknewbie. It sounds completely unreasonable.

I’m looking forward to your impressions of your new HiFi system!

Yes, the power amps sound better when hard wired.

In units that consume less power, like Sagatun and Källa, it makes no difference. So their power supplies are auto range.

If you travel to Europe, ljknewbie, there are plenty of retailers from which you can order a Superkikkin. Sagatun might be difficult to find in Europe, but it's still available in the US. You wrote that it's difficult to import goods into India. Is that because of customs tariffs being excessive or ...
