Movie Di scart to component

I have a Linn Classik Movie Di, scart version. Since I am thinking about selling the machine my question is the following, is it possible to get component out of the scart from a Di with regular "scart to component cable" or do I need a convertor box "scart to Y-U-V". There are some options in the m...

The Unidisk 1.1 was fantastic at its time, but it is like formula one car, or like an Aston Martin, meaning that is quite sensitive and lives its own life. The more recent the better. The main problem is the laser, which tends to wear out. It pays off to send the machine to Linn to change the laser ...

My question is, what is your experience with setting up active systems with chakra/akurate amps? How often have you been able to improve thing by adjusting the filters? And if, wa...

Opps

But I quite liked that immediate presentation straight out of the box, it was very impressive. I'm not 100% sure it's better now than it was then.
Opps! Maybe Dynamik isn't such a great upgrade after all. I and my wallet is eagerly waiting further reviews.

I understand your problem since Kabers benefit a lot from activation and/or better amplification. The combination Naim CD and active Kabers should sound great. But, given that your Naim CD is quite old, and that the source is more important, I would listen to a DS first and make up my mind after tha...
