hi axel

just sitting with the nokia now. Ive uploaded the new version and everything seems to be working well,so far!

thank you
Steve

Hi All, Maybe useful for a second system? Kairn pro dating from c1994, having been upgraded in 2003 to SMPS. Cosmetically quite fine. Includes the original remote. I like the "old" Linn sound it makes - the reason Im selling is to give some "tubes" a try. Ive been using it with Akurate DS, Solos and...

Martyn

Yes, getting the same with the N800, when I "browse" internet radio. But when I select replace playlist, it works fine??

Steve.

Hi Axel On the basis of what I have been reading here, I bought an N800 of ebay for £85. Updated the software immediately, and all is working very well. Its been in use for around 1 week now and saves me wandering around with the laptop!! Many thanks for all the work and effort you have put into thi...

Provisionally sold. Thank you all who responded.

steve.

Just thought it may be useful to add that; the transfer of warranty can be organised before payment is received. Hopefully this would give a degree of comfort to the buyer that the item and Serial Number is acknowldged by Linn as being genuine, and has been logged to the buyers name and address. Hop...

Hi All A really good friend has just ordered and is awaiting delivery of his Klimax DS. :mrgreen: It is replacing a Silver Akurate DS. The Akurate DS will be 1 year old in January 2009. It is immaculate, and available for sale with all accessories supplied with a brand new model - Box, Black IC's, R...

Frederik and all The original caps were difficult to identify as they had the Linn logo on them - as Im sure you know. A couple of years ago I had the boards on a klout renewed by Linn, and Im "fairly" sure they were Elna caps - but could definately be wrong! When I had 3 klouts active, all three ha...

Komri Just what the other guys are saying - that the "word" is its a good bit better. I "believe"(but am happy to be wrong) That it is a dealer upgrade not a return to factory. That it may just consist of dropping a new audio board in BUT, I cant rememebr if there are some mods to the power supply!!...

Hi Komri

Yes, new KK available to dealers now in the UK. Available for purchase in October. Upgrade kit available for existing owners. Rumoured to be £1800 for the kit.

cheers
steve.

Hi All, Linn Kisto - Silver, 2007, remainder of warranty will be transferred. Reason for sale - Im just not using anywhere near its capability. I thought I would do far more with 7.1 etc. but just not getting around to doing it! £3k + p&p. I can take some pics for anyone seriously interested. Its ju...

Cremona Im using Mogami 2972 - although its a bi wire cable. Im using it "single" wire between solos and shahinians. Having used it for about 1 month I do feel its an improvement on the K400 I was using. (the mogami is a round cable about 1cm in diameter. Only cost around £50 for 2 x 2m lenghths, pr...

Hi Markus, Try this? May need to copy and paste. http://whathifi.com/hi-fi/archive/2008/05/23/news-record-your-lps-to-a-pc-with-nad-s-pp-3-digital-phono-preamp.aspx As you suggested, someone else has also recommended that the digital out on the Kisto would be a better way to proceed. Ill give it a t...

Hi Markus I also asked the same question on the "pink Fish" forum, and it seems there are a few more trying to do this. One of the suggestions was the following:- http://whathifi.com/hi-fi/archive/20...no-preamp.aspx Seems a simple idea and not too expensive. I must admit Im finding it all a bit con...

Hi All, Need a bit of help with this, and I have the suspicion this could be a dopy question!! LOL. Im busy ripping away my 600+ cd's to the NAS. As well as the cd's I have about 300ish LP's. Is there a way to rip them to the NAS as well? Im using a Kisto. Would the digital out give a suitable signa...

David Just to add my twopence worth. Ive owned all the pres mentioned over the years. I think they have been ranked in other threads, but in order of improvement: 5103 - Majik Kontrol - Akurate kontrol - Kinos. IMO the kinos was quite a jump froward - interestingly I always think its one of linns fo...

Thanks John, Thats really mirroring what I was trying to say in my post above. Its nice when someone confirms what you believe you are hearing! LOL. I would agree there are things, like the bass, where I would say they arent great. BUT somehow they have this engaging effect. Im now revisiting some o...

Frederik Ive just been having the exact same discussion with a freind who is a Linn retailer. Why not sell directly to the customer, and not lose the 25/40 or 60% discount to the retailer?? Given that their accounts need to improve,( I assume, certainly recent years havent looked great) it seems the...

Maybe in a slightly less agressive way the Keltiks seem to illicit a similar response - from the "best" to the "worst" speaker Linn ever made! However, given such a range of variables its maybe understandable. Even at the dem I attended. The room was about 4 times the size of my listening room. Id n...

Hi Fredrik, You always ask the awkward questions! LOL. Ill try and elaborate but maybe not very well! So far, and it may well be Im just in the first flush of trying something very different. There is of course the physical difference - I think the boxes the obelisks came in were heavier than the sp...

Hi All, Had the Obs for a couple of days. The choice was these or back to 242's. Not the last word in Bass but keeping the 2 Melodiks well backed off is working well. Took a while getting used to rolling them around on castors!! but Ive never heard a speaker retrieve so much detail and to echo Johns...

Paul

Certainly worth trying what Linn now seem to refer to as their " new metal faceplate treble for all loudspeakers" Isnt very expensive - stuck them in the Keltiks and thought it was better. Think they cost me about £35 each.

For fairly small cost its worth doing.

Steve.

Hi Paul, Ill do my best to describe the differences, but one of the difficulties is that the "core" gear was different. If I start with Keltiks to 140's. The good thing being that my mate now has my previous Keltik set up, so before I got rid of the 140's I was fairly regularly hearing both. In term...

Hi John, Thanks for the response, and the promising reassurance! Ive had 242's in the past, and again had a recent extended listen at a dem evening. They were fully acive with 5100's, when I had them they were active with 200's. Listening again convinced me to try something else - hence the shahinia...
