Embarrassed to say I jumped to a conclusion last night and got it wrong. Should have checked more thoroughly before wanted to jabber about it to everyone. Isoblue is more musical to my ears. Hutter still sounds better. I must say I like the Hutter and could happily live with it. Both sound and music...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into this thread, another rack appears. But good news! Initial tune dems suggest this is a winner, at least with the Radikal. I think the LP12 too, but it was not so decisive and I need to check more - always fiddly with the LP12. The Radikal is so great ...

I have updated the avforums thread, but please can you guys who've heard it please cut and paste your comments into there? The link is on the previous page or maybe two back. Cheers. I wanted two 3200's for my ninkas, but this is probably a much better bet. Done. I know you're located in the north ...

Re: My thoughts on Tundra
After an hour or two listening and re-discovering my music collection again (with great pleasure I might add), I left the amp on overnight, very pleased with what I'd heard and confident it was way better than the 4200s. Interesting post ocoro02, especially that passive Tundra is better than aktiv ...

Busy day. Writing now whilst thoughts are still fresh. Just like to say first of all that it was really good to finally meet Fredrik after all this time communicating electronically. Hopefully, next time things will be less rushed. The Tundra is very very good indeed. Hard to be sure of my expectati...

Was able to hear Tundra at home briefly. It was late though, so had to keep the volume right down. Definitely more tuneful and easier to follow the music than my single amped, single-wired 4200/D. Music was clearly more flowing in a way that reminded me of the benefits of KK1 over Kikkin, i.e. more ...
Hi Sammy and welcome! Most of your comments align with my idea of tune dem, although the ‘notes stopping and starting quicker’ and being ‘more punchy and dynamic’ sit outside tune dem for me. That is not to say those two elements cannot accompany an improvement, when judged via tune method. It is ju...

Re: AKG K 420 headphones
Thanks Charlie! I have a pair of Grado 60 that i really like, bought them back in ... 2002 i think(!). I actually liked the K412P better. In the AKG (absolute bargain) range today, what would be your choice? I only have the K24Ps and K420s. They are pretty close performance wise. The former being m...

Re: Tundra
I compare it with a pair of Solos a friend kindly lent me for three weeks. Tundra is better. It really brings out the sense of the music. There has been a few discussion about Tundra giving a signature to the sound but if that´s true it is as well valid for the Klimax amps. Musical wise Tundra is b...

Re: AKG K 420 headphones
My question to you guys is if this is still the winner pair of headphones or if there is a new star on the sky? Welcome Johan! Would be worth your while reading Tom's post on this thread, ref various Grado headphones he tried: http://www.lejonklou.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=12020&sid=794ecffb8f0afdf...

'So' was recently on BBCs 'Classic Albums' series. I enjoyed it, but I suspect you need to be a bit of a fan of the album as it was quite 'steady' otherwise. Very insightful though. Anyway, led me to digging out Gabriel's follow up 'Us', featuing same musicians and producer. Reading the sleeve notes...

I had a feeling this section had seen a lot more activity of late. Reading a thread on the Linn forum, it would appear there are new restrictions placed on the 'For Sale' section of Pink Fish Media which *might* explain this. Apparently, PFM were subject to some scams and are trying to limit this by...

Glad to hear you are happy with the Dynamik upgrade - it really does make quite the musical improvement to the Radikal. And much better sound quality too. I can really notice the reduced distortion. Some music has individual bass notes where before there was a pleasant drone. Helps my 140s that can...

Quick follow up ref the Klyde and Dynamik for Radikal. Taken a while cos I had some dramas tuning all the fixings myself. Many thanks to Anthony in particular for helping me take the deck apart and apply them all. Plus leant some LP12 skills myself in the process :O) I can really understand the advi...

I set the VTA (tone arm height) using the Tune Method. It differs slightly between every cartridge (and unfortunately between every MM stylus), but on an LP12, the arm will be close to parallel to the record surface. Hi Fredrik, LPs vary a lot in thickness. When setting the height by ear, do you us...
