All Lejonklou forum members, Just a reminder that Fredrik will be attending the Kantata Audio event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Belfast on Saturday 23rd March 2019. The scheduled start time is 12:00 noon. Fredrik will be showcasing his range of electronics in a vinyl system with Kudos Titan 505 speak...

Apologies for misconstruing the following from your previous post as issues with your turntable.

"What don’t you like about your system?
Would like more bass at times in particular on My recent addition a completely rebuilt Garrard 301(as sig) "

I know that this would not solve the issues you describe with your turntable, but for the digital side of your system I would recommend a listen to a combination of an Innuos Zenith Music Server with an Aqua La Voce DAC. You would obviously need a pre-amp in this situation. Keeping the KDSM is an op...

Thanks Sunbeamgls!

Believe it or not I'm still working my way through last year's list!

Some fabulous stuff, and some not so fabulous stuff, but that is the subjective nature of our hobby!

Thanks for introducing me to Blues Company and good luck with the show!

The Audio Physic Classic 12 is exactly the same speaker, but with more traditional wood veneer finishes. Or for a full wood veneer - the Classic 5 This is the Classic 12 classic-12-scene-2-1-2560x1707.jpg John, very nice interior, your studio? Matt I wish! No, just a stock photo from Audio Physic.

This is the Classic 12

They look great - not imposing at all. 102cm high and only 17cm wide (not inc stand)

Fancy them in Living Coral with toughened glass finish, sir? :)

If your wife is struggling with speaker aesthetics, try Audio Physic. Great sounding slim speakers which come in virtually any wood finish or colour you can think of, in addition to the option of having them encased in toughened glass. My demo pair of Classic 15s are high gloss white encased in toug...

I wasn't familiar with JBL 3677s, but a quick Google tells me that you are, indeed, a very lucky man, Matt!

There is no way I would be allowed to bring those over the doorstep irrespective of how good they sound!

I agree totally with Donuk. Both the Tundra and KCT are much better than Linn Akurate but it is a heck of a compliment to the Tundra that it is by no means embarrassed by a comparison with the iconic KCT at more than 2.5 times the retail price. In some respects it actually betters it! My advice woul...

Hi all, Kantata Audio will be having a formal launch event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Belfast on Saturday 23rd March 2019. Entry will be free and there will be a free prize draw for all who attend. Fredrik will be there exhibiting Lejonklou products and there will also be rooms with Hegel, Innuos,...

Hi Per,

I can do either walnut or rosenut Majik 109s. (Immaculate/boxed)

The Boazu would have to be new, I'm afraid.

Regards
John.

Great minds think alike re the granite slabs Mr Sunbeam! In place for your perusal next weekend! :)

And re the mug.... anything you can do..! :)

Updated with some new items and some reduced prices!

Fitter Stoke, you have a PM.

Unfortunately the mere mention of an LP12 on demo means that Kantata Audio is now looking for a new accountant!! :) Since I can only sell SH/ex-dem Linn the content of any demo depends on what I have in stock at the time. I do not have any formal Linn demo stock. However, I do stock several brands o...

"Did you get a sense of which system might convey the emotion best, and wll you be planning at a later stage to listen to Klimax katalyst via Sagatun Monos and the Tundra 2.5 or the latest Tundra Monos."

Kantata Audio accountant has heart failure! :)

Thank you Avalon. As usual it was a pleasure to demonstrate the equipment to you and your opinion is always valued. The Aqua Acoustics La Voce S3 is a truly amazing piece of kit (£3,395)! In this case it was partnered with an Innuos Zen MkII to form the front end with an Audioquest Carbon USB cable....

Hi Vic,

Many congratulations!

As someone who has taken a similar decision, I am confident that you will have no regrets.

The very best of luck to you!

OK, so on to day 2 which was to be a setup day with just myself and Fredrik. The pre lunch session was done using the same final system as day 1 (ADSM/3 (KAT) / Sagatun 1.2 / Tundra 2.5 / AQ cabling) but swapping in Kudos Audio Super 20As for the X2's. The Super 20A's were positioned, repositioned a...

Thank you Avalon, Discodave – and Fredrik – for those kind sentiments. Really glad that you enjoyed the afternoon despite the heat! I did what I could with cool drinks, but fans or a portable air con unit might just have ruined the demos! Fredrik arrived late on Friday night and was immediately whis...

This is only one I took!! I just didn't think!!

Fredrik arrived late on Friday night, but not so late that he could not be introduced to a proper pint of the black stuff in the world famous Robinson's bar!

Thanks "David".

There's still time! Cheap flight? Pick you up at the airport?

:)

Thank you kind sir and you'll be very welcome!
