Re: A London Symphony, Vaughan Williams
Alternatively, you could listen to it on vinyl, and contrast it with the Previn or Boult versions with the later revisions... ultimately, this one doesn't fully satisfy...

Re: Entity MC
This upgrade is blowing my mind. I expected a modest improvement, consistent with the minor changes implemented. Instead I have got a substantial improvement, along the lines of the differences I have heard between my Rad1 and the demo I heard of Rad2. It's just more real. And has removed my mild di...
Re: Entity MC
Just got my Entity back after four weeks away being upgraded from 1.1 to 1.2. Obviously I can't hold memory well enough to do a strict A/B. So I just plugged it in, cold, together with an LP12 which had been powered down since Entity left. Not intending to come to any conclusions. WTF?! If this is "...

3) Sell all the electronics, go passive, upgrade to Kalla and Boazu (or other Lejonklou amplifiers, dependent on budget).

Re: Recommended control points
Thanks! The Pro Max is too big for me as a phone, and both Pro and Pro Max seem to have some different internals to the regular iPhone, so I thought it worth asking. I'll likely buy one or the other regular sized basic version, but just as a phone.

Re: Hermanns System
I prefer B to A on the Kari Bremnes track, and after just the intro to the others the same difference was apparent. I can see a second torque driver in my future... or maybe my dealer can do this. After seeing that Fredrik (with whom I normally agree) disagrees with me I have re-listened. This time...

Re: Recommended network components
It will be interesting to see if David Neel finds a significant improvement with the Amplifi units as I think he has optimal BJC 6a cables from his Router/ GS108T to Kalla. I do indeed have BJC cat6a cables. But I've cut short my Amplifi experimentation, as I've been dealing with life's REAL issues...

It is "Shadow Work" by the group Mammal Hands. I think it was somebody up here who turned me onto it. The whole album is quite good, Here is a youtube link where you can listen to the full album to see how you like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_qtOEw2gcg&t=287s Tom, I think I can take the c...

Re: Recommended network components
all I can say is rather order more than the number of blue jeans cables you need to have some chances - there is noticable variation When you need one BJC of a certain length, how many you have to order to get a really musical one? Two or more? Thanks 33 or so should be sufficient! ;-) If you add a...

Re: Recommended network components
Good to understand the systematic approach - thanks for sharing. Did you configure one or two subnets with Huawei & Amplifi? All Ethernet connections from router(s) through to Kalla so far, with the iPad on wifi, of course, but working your way stepwise towards to Fredrik's recommended mesh setup, ...

Re: Recommended network components
Spannko has very kindly sent me his pair of Amplifi HDs for experimentation. My existing network is very simple: I have a Huawei 4G router which provides wifi for the flat, and a single wired connection for the hifi. It is powered separately from everything else. This router is wired to a GS108T v2,...

I'll post playground recordings. The source is Hakai.

Re: Recommended network components
I've been following the Amplifi HD discovery with interest, and would welcome some input. Currently I have a HUAWEI-E5180-C04C 4G router, as I do not have any cable broadband. This is a very simple device which connects to the internet via a 4G sim-card. It has a single ethernet port which is connec...

The regular mains is just "right" - great system! It rather falls apart with the portable generator, feels almost as if it's changing second by second.

Re: Källa firmware upgrade - postponed
Hmm... I upgraded the firmware this morning, and have been busy all day since. Now I'm listening, and it's not grabbing me the way it did before. It's different, very different. Some aspects are better, but it feels boring. What's going on? It's clearly better in hifi terms, but seems to have lost t...

Re: General Discussion about Källa
I have assigned Källa a fixed IP address. Yesterday and today I listened to music. Later I disconnected Källa from the power supply, hard power switch, without shutting down the device. After switching it on, it does not connect again. It is also no longer visible in the router. I have tried this: ...
