Re: Linn Nexus LS250 Revisted
Fredrik, I urge you to remove the preceding post. RTM makes 1 correct point. Your forum rules omit any reference to slander or defamation. Your rules, your forum but perhaps a RTM amendment is necessary as this absurd behavior continues. RTM's recently deleted posts were guilty of slander and defama...

Re: Interconnects - original or not (split from Playground)
it sounded like that as you said „original silvers“ I just want to x-check if it is an indicator of the factory made ones that the ground/screen is not cut off partly Yes, more pictures are needed. “Original” referred to not being second or third generation silvers. I see ... just updated my post a...

Re: Nexus Biasing
From what I remember, the Nexus were the most musical of the “nice” sounding speakers of the time, but nowhere near as musical as Kans. However, I remember hearing a later pair with a Nait 2 and it was a very pleasant listen. I never realized they were so successful though (20,000 pairs sold), so f...

Re: Take Me Through Your Universe, No One Listening Will Suspect
Seems I’ve inadvertently opened a can of worms. Well worth opening though. [A is non-original Black, B is original Black.] https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lk8ky9qh2v7ilm9/AAARoTBPnnvJaWGwWB4st1OPa?dl=0 To at least cover all options here’s the [comparison] of the original Black (C) vs. QED (D). https://w...

Re: HAKAI Build Help?
Leap of faith with the Jetway - it sounds good. Burn-in and new DAC will make it sing I wager. I've no way to compare this board to the Gigaport or Intels. But FPM can compare 2 Gigabytes models, 3 Intel models and this Jetway. Intel Optane will burn-in over a couple of weeks I'm assured. Streamer ...

Re: Interconnects - original or not (split from Playground)
Here’s the photo’s of my Linn Blacks. A5578CF2-FC19-4A0D-B517-B01473589412.jpeg F250F9A0-74E2-4428-9786-3F14214FD4A8.jpeg Perfectly standard Linn Blacks, as far I can tell. How they perform musically is partly another matter, as this thread has highlighted. My blacks are cut more neatly, crimped a ...

Re: HAKAI Build Help?
I keep finding myself looking for the “like” button, but it seems I’ll have to put a post in. Extremely pleased with my hakai, but also the dirt cheap Spotify streamer(s) build off the ready to go Intel Atom 2800 that FPM located on eBay. I have a bunch of other DAC options lying around that I keep...

Re: HAKAI Build Help?
HW total outlay of below $175 including DAC. Bargain. It is hard to exaggerate just what a bargain the Hakai is - not only is it cheap by Audio standards, it plays music gloriously. The only doubt for me was the Jetway. Case choice was a home run for design and cost. Sounds sweet with an old DAC. T...

The few responses on this aren’t conclusive either. Oscar, There is only one solid response. The other is from some wishy-washy guy In need of good ears who can't make up his mind..

Re: Playground for practical listening exercices
Brand new Linn Blacks from eBay? I would inspect the joints. It's easy to tell if they're originals or something else. In my experience, it's very rare for original Blacks to "go bad" (like some old Silvers have, for unknown reasons). Interesting theory that I hadn’t contemplated. Here’s a picture ...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercices
They are usually much too tight and need to be loosened. I do this with a pair of thin pointy pliers, which I open on the inside of the slotted barrel. There are six slots, which makes three pairs of "flaps" that I gently bend apart several times. Gently! If overdone, the metal cracks. What you wan...

Re: HAKAI Build Help?
Exciting! I'm sure you'll find it very satisfying. It took me 2-3 weeks to get the software and network set up to my liking, partly because I had to rediscover my approach to listening to digital sources. Before I started I had never heard of Qobuz or Radio Paradise, but these are now my main digit...
