Solton Karat 8 Review

  • Thor 
Solton Karat K8 impressions after the 1rst Year. The Experience First Impression, they are different.  It took me a few minutes to get used the even Impulse over the full Volume. Looking for the “ now getting loud enough to build the pressure” and not hearing the acquired varying performance, took a few moments to get used to.

How to make a good old Speaker better.. Now 4 x Grundig Audiorama 8000 in stock. Finished with new Paint.

So out came the Solder and 2.5 copper from and to the Xovers now. The difference is clearly to hear. More drive and better punch. The Tweeters are… Continue Reading »Making a Good old Speaker even Better

A Story listening to Hifi Systems

  • Thor 
In the Mid 70’s growing up in Germany, before Walkmann, most kids i knew played music with mail order mono Tape Player, I remember that my Granddad spend about 40 DM more ( every Deutschmark Mark counted then ) for ITT Schaub Lorenz Recorder that looked and sounded a little different. My Granny’s Kitchen Radio was from the same Brand. Gentler sounding compared to much bigger more expensive Stereo GhettoBlasters. It had a Silver Metal finish and Recording with mike… Continue Reading »A Story listening to Hifi Systems
