This opportunity doesn’t present itself too often

Sonas some of you may recall, my Kandid appears to have a failed suspension seeing as the actual base of the cartridge comes into contact with the viny ( accidents will happen) and the stylus is almost at 22.5 degrees or even less, I’m thinking closer to .12 degrees. Well.. my great dealer is lettin...

Re: Where do we go from here?

Thank you both for the suggestions and info. Space limits me for another table such as Noktable (hence wall shelf). I’ve seen from Quadraspire a shelf, with feet and all, sold for the purpose of going directly on top of an existing quad shel/rack. I think it’s the quadraspire soundstage. Currently m...

Where do we go from here?

Ok, first I’d like to thank the fellow forum members sfor their highly insightful input. My question is a simple one, perhaps. With my current setup, I will figure a way to acquire Ekos SE, and new Kandid as needed based on previous posts/pics. My question is, is there an upgrade/musical improvement...

Rel B1 vs. Klimax 345

I know these don’t come up too often, however there’s a climax 345 available at a substantial discount, I like the groups thoughts on how it would compare versus my REL B1 Britannia, connected via high-level imports.

Single driver floorstanding speaker

I remember one of the first times I was introduced to the Lp 12 the dealer had a pair of single driver speakers. To me it was always a great sound, can anyone comment on any current or past recommended models? Thank you

Re: Linn 242s Rosenut, optionally with upgraded stands

Excellent. Thanks for responding so quickly. For what it’s worth I have an extra pair of the original 242 bases in silver if that could help you in anyway. May I ask your impressions of the Accu Barricks versus the 242‘s? I recently acquired my tundra mono 2s to replace a climax chakra twin non-dyna...

Re: Single source only more musical?

Thank you sir for your quick response. There was a part of me that just knew you wouldn’t have those options/functions unless they improved the tune! Sagutun monos and Ekos SE get me to the finish line however the view is pretty spectacular from here already, much thanks to your tundra mono2s!

My wife’s Tune method revelation

So last evening the 2 of us were enjoying an adult beverage or 2 and enjoying some music. She’s almost always noticed improvements and upgrades, but hasn’t been able to articulate just why she liked one over the other. She used terms like details and more bass and the dreaded “clearer” lol. So last ...

Ok fellow members, I’m thinking of going down a different path perhaps. I just sold my KCT to a fellow Lejonklou forum member who lives 30 min from me.

Re: Tukans vs. 242 mkII..??

Charlie, Checking the individual drivers is a great idea. To your point who knows if supertweeter isn’t working. None of our hearing is getting better as we get older. So to be clear, simply removing all plates and plugging the speaker cable into each individual drive unit to test that unit is safe ...
