Hi, I have one issue you could check: When the Solos have been awake playing music for awhile, put your hand on top. The ones sounding best run cool . Colder than a KK or CD12. I had the opportunity to test two pairs of solos before buying my own pair. I asked Linn about this but they did not know o...

Have a look in the tunedem tread a bit lower down

Just think maybe an aro +aro keel will tune dem better than ekos se +keel.. :shock: Unless the Aro has gotten a lot better since I last heard it around 10 years ago (and I don't think that it has) it won't stand a chance against the Ekos SE. At the time I thought it was far from a first generation ...

"The amount of ringing in the shelf is not important, but the harmonics are really vital. If you start with a shelf that gives a disharmonic sound - no matter how short the reverbation is - you can never make it sound good. But if you start with a shelf that has a sweet and harmonic ring to it, eve...

Zeedje, when did you go pre-Cirkus? Didn't you have a Cirkus'd LP12 before? I am quite curious about the Helikon. I heard another Lyra cartridge a while back that I wasn't very impressed with, but the Helikon seems to have gotten the details right with it's magnet system, boron cantilever, copper c...

This is nothing new Jesper,but I think you're just enjoying music again...and you ARE going thru a mid life crisis :cry: Ok, glad you could tell the diagnosis so quick... :lol: Vic, regarding the cartridge, I have not used the deck in nine months, but used to have a good condition Troika before. /J...

Hi all, I just want to share my latest findings. I dont know if it is a midlife crisis, the hearing fading away or simply an nostalgic trip, but the last five days I have been glued to my system (or at least to the music). The simple reason is that I got the chance to borrow a Lyra Helikon (thank yo...

Thanks Fredrik. I will buy 2 or 3 cheap ones and report back to the forum. A question for anyone and possibly mains related. I find that my system sounds better late at night, after 11pm 'ish. It's quite subtle, but I can sense a stillness and delicacy that isn't there at other times - it sounds mo...

Hi,

I think music Lover did some evaluating tests awhile ago.

The Solos are fantastic BTW

Hi paolo, Do you think a crossover cable is the best method of connectivity then? Paolo any thoughts about this? I am quite new to networks but normally less is more...or? I think it would be good to skip the switch if possible. Is it a way to communicate with the NAS and have the DS directly conne...

Hi John! You have the old type of connectors on your Linn Silvers and IMHO you should be thankful for that. The spring loaded ground connection sounds better than the (more dynamic and impressive, but less musical) new Silver connector that has no spring. I have made extensive test that confirms th...

Is this really the case? I have hard to believe that the wrong cble directions can make a KK sound ike an Exotic. I do believe that it makes a noticable different, but not in the same league as changing gear. hcl, Ok, maybe I was underrating the performance of the KK before the mod. It is always ha...

Zeedje, currently I cannot say 100% for sure that the Kontrol is defect, I just have a strong indication in that direction. However, I have tested all 4 inputs of the KK and the effect is the same on all of them. Hugo, Maybe your KK is not faulty, but only put together in a faulty way. Which on the...

So the DS just reveiled the defect of the Kontrol - strange but true. I cannot say since when the Kontrol was defect because I didn't realize it until now. I guess I have to sent my Kontrol to service... This is highly interesting stuff. What was wrong with the Konrol? Is it the whole preamp that i...

I heard that the plugs would be decoupled from the cable in much the same way as the newer cables between powersupply and amps. :)

I also heard that they will be expensive :(

It's really fun to see all these instructional videos popping up everywhere. I got an email a few days ago suggesting I'd make video of how to make a Tune Method installation of a pair of speakers. That would be fun! :D I am actually working on a script that will be in the same league as "Ben Hur"....

Thank You Ceilidh, After spending a lot on the boxes and still not being entirely happy I decided to build the system from the ground up, starting with the cheaper(well) stuff. So I have got the best possible connectors for speaker cables. The same powercords (Powerone). Everything level (free upgra...

I cannot wait til I get my new set of fully knekted wires back from Mr Lejonklou :roll: Keep listening! /Zed This is just an update! Thus qouting myself :roll: I have spent nearly three months with my multiwired speakerwires so I am willing to give a report. The cables are soldered by Mr Lejonklou ...

I would like to share some more thing that I have learnt during the years of tuning. Always tune with a friend, it is very easy to make the wrong decision and get lost. When you are two and you do not agree what is best you probably have found an important point that deserves a little moving back an...

Good work Ceilidh! You must be fluent with the keyboard - huh? I must say it is great to have Ivor back. In just a few months it feels like Linn has found the direction again. And especially the part of the Linn products hierarchy easier to understand has been very obvious lately (the naming of the ...

...that´s the question! It is allways interesting to share information regarding speaker tuning. I can really underline what Fredrik said - every room differs. It is like starting to paint a masterpiece - were to start? I would say zero toe in and with the speaker placed were they look good! Not sym...

Hi all, Having tested almost all combos of speaker cable connection I must warn for WBT spades. They surely looks impressive and combining them with the matching WBT´s on amps and speakers must be best - huh? No it is not! The sound is very open , clean and uncolored. But you need to retune to get t...

currently have 212s activ with 2 4200s...my ultimate goal would be activ solos then upgrade speakers... So, would 1 pr of solos outperform, tunedem, activ 4200s with 212s? Hi Bonzo, To shed some light: I have A-B-A-B-A tested 242´s with 5x2250 Active and 2xSolo in my home for a week. Power, speaker...

Very nice remote indeed. IMHo linn remotes are clean and easy to operate. However, new luminous remotes are better to use at night, when listening. For me itntuitive, but when I moved from Classik need to accustom. The little gem that Thomas describes glows with a bleak erie light... And I totally ...
