Re: How do I find my Källa web interface?

Thanks Fredrik and Tokenbrit It was the switch! It was not visible on the router - my other two GS 108/308 were, along with the mesh unit. A simple reboot did the trick. I have not used the downstairs Kalla for a week or so - been listening to the LP 12 with 1950s/1960s Jazz recordings ; something t...

Re: How do I find my Källa web interface?

Hi

No - only the upstairs Kalla is visible .

Should I try connecting directly to the mesh - in case it’s the network switch that is the problem?
Or even directly to the router?

Re: How do I find my Källa web interface?

One of my Kallas #17 is not visible on the network - I can’t find it with its web address 192.168.0 Etc

It’s connected to the mesh router / network switch - which both appear to be fine.

Any ideas of what I should do next?

The other Kalla is fine.

Re: GRADO HEADPONE EXTENSION CABLE

I have the 15 ft - 4 conductor cable with a smooth plastic covering. After reading that some are happy with the above - I did the test again. Maybe, I was being a tad harsh on the extension cable, as in isolation, it still sounds ‘good’ and enjoyable with Kalla/ Giella pi. I have been using this for...

Re: GRADO HEADPONE EXTENSION CABLE

Thanks for reviewing that extension cable from Grado u252agz.

Re: GRADO HEADPONE EXTENSION CABLE

"Grado guarantees no degradation of sonic quality with Grado headphones while using their extension cable." This from their own website. So you should be able to get your money back.

Re: GRADO HEADPONE EXTENSION CABLE

I wonder if anyone has looked at the optimal length of cable for headphones and whether the optimal length will be similar to speaker cables ie around 2.5 m. Looking online, it seems that most in the headphone community think that length does not matter - there are reports of 50 feet of cable ( and ...

I have been using the Grado 4.5 metre extension cable with my RS2e headphones( Kalla with Giella Pi) for a few months now and enjoying this system, reclining on the bed in the spare room, which is at the opposite end from the Kalla/Giella. Over the weekend, I tried my Grado 125e straight into Giella...

So much more musical. I tried it with Suzanne Vegas Gypsy on solitude standing - my standard for A to Bs and it’s ...

Re: A lejonklou for my 2nd or 3rd system

I agree with springwood. Boazu and Tundra both drive my 242s and Komponent 110s just fine, but my rooms are only 6metres by 5 with 2.5 m ceiling. I have used linn preamps with Tundra ( Kolektor and AK 1) and they are well matched. Nice thing with a Boazu is its really versatile. if you ever connect ...

I think all of us lucky enough to own Kalla owe the whole Lejonklou team a huge debt of gratitude.

I assumed that great Digital streamers were just too difficult to develop a...

And not forgetting Mrs Lejonklou and the children.

I can't even begin to imagine what they must have had to put up with during the conception, long gestation period and eventual birth of Kalla.

I still can not believe how good the Kalla is in my system - by far the biggest upgrade I have ever experienced in over 30 years of running top end Linn systems.

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

I connected my Giella Pi with 6 metre Linn Black cables made for me by OK Thomas. These are very high quality speakers and my thinking was that if one is using good quality stuff upstream ( I have Kalla /giella pi) they deserve the ‘best’( linn silver) or ‘second best’ (linn blacks). However I have ...

Speaker Cables

Are there any reasonably musical speaker cables that could be run under the edge of a carpet.

My K400s are way to bulky , and I’m not keen to below the floorboards for these locations.

Re: Triamping with Akurate amps

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Active systems need very careful installation and the much simpler (and cheaper) passive systems can sound really musical, especially with good interconnects and K400 speaker cables which have been properly terminated. If you end up liking passive - you may...

Yes - still with the BT Mesh units and the network upgrade has been just great. I have not even had time to start selecting the best cables.
