I am using a Gaio at present and would like to upgade it to a Slipsik or Entity. Is it correct that Lejonklou are not supplying the UK anymore ? Certainly not. Despite the tariff-free zone that we had been promised by the Brexit agreement last December, we have experienced illogical and unexpected ...

Hi Cato!

Graham Audio has a BBC license to produce both the 3/5A - 11Ω, 83dB SPL (2.83V, 1m) and its true origin the 3/5 - also 83dB SPL (2.83V, 1m) but a 9Ω design. Both play really well with Boazu so I think it should drive your Falcons quite well too.

Congratulations!
That already pays for more than 50% of a new Boazu :-)

If you want the best streamer, go for ADS/3 Katalyst.
If you want the most versatility - and the best resale value I'd choose ADSM with Katalyst.

The MM/MC phonostage is the same, and btw also similar to that of the preamp Majik Kontrol.

But as a the preamp, AK/1 is better than AK/0 - and naturally MK as well. With such a little difference in price I would certainly go for the AK/1. You get a very good headphone stage as a bonus.

Hello Pierre, welcome to the forum!

Thanks for your critical listening that resulted in an even better headphone stage - now aptly named Giella Pi.
Like you I am really looking forward to listening to this new Giella version.

All the best from Amsterdam,

Marco

I agree Unidisc SC can be a bit unreliable but with a replaced laser - which still can be found - you will be settled again for some time. Kisto is very good as a preamp (I'd say the best of your selection) but besides you should have room for this being a heavyweight not only in performance but als...

i´m not 100% sure, but think they could work with the keltik klimax boards.

Having a cold while working on your LP12, let alone do some critical listening is not a healthy combination.

Get well soon Hermann and happy to hear how your test evolves when you feel good again.

Gute besserung und schönen Grüss aus Amsterdam,

One of my favourite albums - not just of Lyle but of any artist. Have been playing his early vinyl album 'Pontiac' yesterday, a true gem as well.

On Qobuz there are hardly any Lovett tracks available which is a big shame.

Always great to hear from fellow-Lyle fans!

Hi Grrr,

You have really digged deep in the sales section to get this one to the surface!

Sorry to say but indeed these have been sold some years ago, so thread may be closed.

KR,

That's absolutely fabulous news, congrats!

And to think with the just announced 1.3 upgrade Fredrik has made Boazu even better - perhaps it may compete for the 2021 award as well?

Well done Thomas & Fredrik!

Hi JoDeKo, I don't have any experience with combining Harbeth speakers and Lejonklou but as distributor of Graham Audio I can tell you this works really well. Both Harbeth and Graham share the same kind of thinwall construction type. They distinguish in that for instance the Graham BBC 5/9 is rated ...

Fantastic news Fredrik!
Can't wait to hear Giella++ and very excited to see the diamond version too.

Good luck with finishing your Giellas and looking forward to seeing them arrive and alive.

Hmm Michael,

...should we read between the lines prefer a Boazu.?
Good luck with the sale!

Last week I received my order of Lejonklou mugs, all of them safe and sound.
Thanks Sunbeamgls and Fredrik for creating this specialty - my coffee will taste even better - and happy to contribute.

Me too actually.....but naturally I have them in stock :)
Great review, thanks Fredrik - and Thomas - for this!

Great initiative!
I'm signing up for 11 mugs please.

Hi Bubba! Thanks for your feedback and listening impressions. I understand that a new cartridge is first priority but good that you had the opportunity to listen to Entity with a Krystal, happy to hear it makes a feet-tapping combination in your system. Also thanks to Struan from Hifi Corner for the...

Hi Bubba, Entity is on its way to Hificorner, Edinburgh and due to arrive around upcoming Wednesday. Get in touch with Struan to make an appointment. Enjoy your demo and happy to hear your listening impressions. That's great news! Thanks for your help arranging this, I'll get in touch with them ASA...

Congratulations wschott and welcome to the forum - sounds like a great entrance!

Did you listen to it in advance or just decided to go for it?
Either way enjoy and happy to read your listening impressions once you receive it.

I think Anthony's advise is to better invest in a Katalyst upgrade of your KDSM1 (source first) than to change the power amplifiers. Should I limit myself to the first part of your question; I know this is probably discussed before, but what would be the best option for driving a passiv pair of Akur...
