Thomas, Just in case you go with it, I know a couple of people that would be interested in a coffee mug, or polo shirt. By the way, in regard to the mugs and the polo shirts. The mugs were a project that sunbeamgls undertook with permission from Fredrik a few years ago. He made up a large batch and ...

That's cool...it will be interesting to hear what you think about them Tendaberry.

Cheers

I'm glad to hear you are liking the upgrades to the system. I do find 1.7 vs. 1.4 to be quite compelling. Your SS was torqued based on Fredrik's latest findings in case you were concerned. Well, all of the Lejonklou upgrades I've had so far have been great and there isn't anything to dislike...that...

Has anyone heard this new Linn power amp? Here are the specs, in case you haven't seen them: LINN KLIMAX SOLO 800 SPECS Output Power: 400W 8Ω 800W 4Ω 1.2kW 2Ω Nominal Gain: 28.6 dB unbalanced 22.6 dB balanced 3db Bandwidth: 150kHz 8Ω 140kHz 4Ω 130kHz 2Ω Output Impedance 0.01Ω 1kHz THD+N, 8Ω 0.0004% ...

That's a good point, and it can certainly pay off in the long run.

Thanks for the report Tony. In my opinion it will take a while until the Sagatun develops full quality. But your description leads to the idea that the stereo Sagatun warms up a little faster than the monos. Since two components have received an upgrade, it will of course be a little more difficult...

Well, it's been nearly ten days since receiving and installing the upgraded Lejonklou Entity 1.2 phono stage, and the Sagatun Stereo 1.7 preamplifier. Much of the burn-in time for the Sagatun was achieved by using my Linn Pekin turner (at a very low volume), primarily over night and when not using t...

BTW Where can these things be purchased?

I purchased these Lejonklou items when they were available back in 2021...but not sure if they will be offered again. Of course when I wear the polo shirt, people always ask me what Lejonklou means.

Cheers

That's good news Hermann, the mystery is solved...congratulations! I've learned how important torque values really are in audio components. From cartridges to tonearms, preamps to speakers, and everything in between they do make a noticeable difference! Some people have a hard time processing the co...

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...

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...

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...

I think my post was quite clear :-)

I certainly didn't mean to upset any apple carts here...

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.

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...

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!

Very nice looking indeed, great pictures! Cheers Thank you, Tony! I really enjoy your pictures and posts. The Briks must be really something. Would be fun to hear them some day. Good afternoon Fred, and thank you for the positive comments as well. The was a time when I seriously thought about repla...

Hermann wrote: ↑2024-01-23 11:41 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.

Good morning Hermann, do you already have the Sagatun 1.7 upgrade?

Very nice looking indeed, great pictures!

Cheers

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. ...

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.

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...

Congratulations to Fredrik indeed, yet another very nice review! Thanks for posting Thomas! Congratulations again to Fredrik! In the current issue of Stereophile (October 2022 Vol. 45 No. 10) the Entity 1.1 has been listed in the Class A section of the 2022 Recommended Components listings. It was gi...
