Hi Charlie, I think that you have not fully realized, that the order of where you put the filters in the amp, that is the easy part :mrgreen: The real hassle starts, when you have to decide which way/direction, you should put the little cables, that goes from the main board to the filters. :shock: Y...

Hi Charlie1, you will indeed be surprised what a truly "Foundation first" installation will do to your Hifi rig, probably picking up your jaw from the floor , "methinks" :mrgreen: With Hi End gear, every little minute detail matters and for instance the ideal position of your loudspeakers, could ver...

Active vs passive. Or why isn’t active always better? Well I believe, that is because there is so many more things, that has the potential to go wrong, in an active setup. Its a lot more complicated to set it up properly, and if you don’t, it will tell you loud and clear. :cry: The higher resolution...

Hello Linntek, since I'm a happy Keltik owner, I remember that late Kabers had the same "midrange" woofer (spkr 007/4 and spkr 007/5) but the latest midrange of the original design was spkr 007/6 and I think that Kabers wasn't made any longer when that midrange was delivered. The explanation I got f...

Hi Jens, you say that you did not have any "muddy midrange" problems with Katans... Well where to start? I am not at all surprised with that fact. (I also own a pair of Katans) Think of Keltiks as a pair of Tukans with a very big and powerful Subwoofer firmly bolted at each one. They will "energize"...

Hello monkeydevil. Congrats to your "new" Keltiks. Since I've lived with this very "picky" and "vibrating everything in the room" loudspeakers for many years i know for a fact that "muddy midrange" is not a speaker problem. You got to take care of vibrations and make a proper "Foundation first insta...

Since you also have a "footfall" problem, I think that after some tweaking, of the interface between Mimer and your wallshelf, that this will be the best solution. :mrgreen:

I am really happy for you, that Mimer and Odin shelfes improves your gear so much. You could try and put a Mimer shelf on top of your present wallshelf to see how that works. Or you could check out a more sofisticated design like a Finite element wallshelf if WAF is importent. You could also borrow ...

wallshelfs

What i mean is that the very minute sideways movements from the wall in one end of the springs is more or less "absorbed" by the springs and not transmitted to the inner chassis (or KEEL) due to the great mass of that heavy platter and tonearm. Sorry it would be easier to explain in Swedish. The vib...

Feet and isolation

I apoligize for my bad way of explaining things and poor spelling. But i think you have got it now :mrgreen: One very easy way of minimizing the amount of microphonics is to use wallshelfs. I believe that most electronics are much more sensitive if the vibration enters vertically (up and down) from ...

Cheap racks and isolation

Hi Anthony, Linns recomends a light and ridgid support for their gear and that is sound advice (pity they dont make any that is for sale :cry: ) The only really light support/shelf that i know about is Ringmat vivacity fireworks. I have not tried it yet myself but i will or i will try to make a simi...

Some pointers about isolation

OK Linns original rubber feet may look simple, but they are really good and not at all easy to better. Isolation from air and structural bourne vibration is only half of what they do, the other half is to get away the vibration that the unit produces by it self to the supporting shelf. Please do you...

Welcome to my world Fredrik

Welcome, to what i have been experimenting with, for the last 15 years. Namely to find out, how to support my Linn gear, so that i would get maximum performance and musical pleasure from them. I've got quite a few tricks up my sleeve now, so if you would like to have some pointers, dont be a strange...
