I don’t believe Katalyst/Exakt has the finesse to allow the Källa’s output to be amplified without totally skrewing up what it does well. It’ll turn an unbelievably musical presentation into a wall of sound with reasonably tuneful and rhythmical sound effects thrown in for good measure.sunbeamgls wrote: ↑2021-10-12 16:34Its not a given at all. There are still benefits with an analogue source, if one is of the opinion that there are benefits with Exakt, which spannko may recognise, having invested.
Personally, I'd be listening before deciding.
Källa has introduced a paradigm shift. It’s re-written the rule book. Forget what you think you knew. It doesn’t apply any more!
Benefits with Exakt? Maybe, although that’s never been a consideration for me. After all, “Exakt” is nothing more than marketing speak for a digital crossover with dsp. It’ll have its disadvantages too.
You might've noticed I don't have a view on this because I haven't heard Kalla through an Exakt system. Yet. I prefer to listen rather than guess, an approach which I think this forum is generally supportive of. I was also cautious enough to say that some don't appreciate what Exakt does and that's fine. Its worth noting that there are many LP12 owners who feed their deck into an Exakt system. Some will say that makes no sense, others rather like it.
I just think it is worth listening before deciding.
