Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

Another vote for B, on song 2B it "feels" it is in sync,
on song 2A it is not in sync, it does not keep it together.

Re: The conclusion of digital volume regulation

I tried this at my old budget system, i have a Linn Majik DS-I (DSM without hdmi), bought an old Majik-I integrated amplifier (manufactured 1997) and then i disabled the amp and preamp in the Majik DS-I, connected the Majik-I and the difference is so big that i could not believe it first, i can´t de...

Re: The conclusion of digital volume regulation

As with everything, things are more difficult than they appear - even the question. For the DSM (Akurate including ADSM/2 and Majik including MDSM/3) Linn recognized that the digital volume control was insufficiently developed and hence the user were given the option in Konfig (or newer web based v...

Re: Revel speakers

I am now answering my own question 😀
I have bought the M105 speakers and they are really nice,
if i compare to Linn Majik 109 the Revel speakers are much better.

Revel speakers

Has anyone tried Revel Performa 3 M105 or M106 speakers ?
I have read good reviews of them but haven´t listened to them,
are they any good if you compare them to Linn speakers ?

Re: Linn Majik 109

I also got rid of the Linn speaker cables, now i have Qed profile 79 that is much better than split Linn K400 when you use singlewire,
you should try it.

Re: Linn Majik 109

Kan V is so far i heard some type of ”Taiwan copy” of Tukan,
they are not as good as Tukan but i am glad to getting the Majik 109 out from my livingroom 😀.
If i find a pair of Kabers in good condition i will buy them,
they are like Kan with a little bit more bass.

Re: Linn Majik 109

I got tired of the Majik 109 speakers, i sold them and got a pair of Kan V for a really god price, now i can again listen to music.
Majik 109 are really ”unmusical” to my ears 😀

Re: General Discussion about Källa

Thanks for the answers.
So there is a double conversion of the "music file", first to pcm and then to alac,
now it is a bit more understandable why the controlpoint makes a difference.

Re: General Discussion about Källa

When using Spotify and streaming via Airplay to Källa (and Linn DS) does the apple device and airplay convert the the mp3 file to an ALAC file ?

Re: Linn Majik 109

I have now connected the speaker cables to tweeter + and -, it was a noticable difference to the better, feels like the ”harshness” in the treble area became a bit smoother and the sound is more in balance, more enjoyable. It was a cheep uppgrade 😀

Re: Linn Majik 109

Thanks for quick answer/help. So i should take it easy for a while and leave the music on when i leave home, about two weeks should be enough for the speakers to have been "run in".

Linn Majik 109

I got a pair of Majik 109, i use them with Majik DSI streamer/amp.
But i have a problem with the speakers being too "bright" and lack bass,
it feels like the treble overpowers everything else.
Do the 109:s require a "burn in time" to sound "smoother" ?
What is the recommendation in "burn in time" ?

Do you have some kind of ”teamwork” with Spotify when you develop your software and protocol ? Spotify develops their Spotify connect with the help of Ubiquiti.

Re: Spotify Hi-Fi

I doubt Spotify Hi-Fi has been released yet in the United States. Of course it has not been released yet. Matt, How do you know this? Where did you get that information? Spotify sounds better than all other streaming services now, and for the past ten-plus years. Yet, nobody seems to know it. So ho...

Re: Apple TV to Akurate DS

That's odd. I have never once in the last three years found Tidal more musical than Spotify. And I have compared together with quite a few other people. We always arrived the same conclusion, which appears to be the opposite of yours: Spotify does not "sound" as good, but it makes more musical sens...
