That's a huge IP range, so it's easy to pick one that doesn't conflict, but all pretty academic if a DS doesn't assign an address once DHCP fails.

That looks good to me. Out of interest, do you happen to know what happens if a DS cannot obtain an IP address dynamically via DHCP. I wonder if it defaults to a static IP address in a similar way to Windows? It might be quite useful to know in case of network connectivity problems. For example, if ...

Ar Yes, I didn't think of that. All the best, Rgds.

Hi Sommerfee, Thanks for taking the time to write your FAQ. Previously I'd not understood most of what's been said on the forum about the DS products - it went completely over my head. The networking side is fine, but everything else was new to me. It makes a lot more sense now and whilst I don't ow...

On the Linn demonstration they played the same song, about 20 seconds, but that's not the way I want to listen to music. Hi Peter, I fully understand what you mean regarding the dem. Now that I'm such a big fan of the Tune Method, I sympathise greatly with the dealers. They are in a difficult situa...

I found the differences between the Majik cd and Akurate not worth the money. Did you Tune Dem the differences? Sometimes small differences in Hi-Fi can mean much bigger changes in long term enjoyment of the actual music. Tune Dem is a good way to measure these long term benefits in a very short sp...

Hi fgarciab, I can't comment on most of this although I'm very interested to hear what others say, especially the Pre Amp. The only thing I would say is don't go for option 2. I made the mistake of getting a 6100 for my Ninka's and I'm now at a dead end. If you get 2 x 5100 then you'll be in the sam...

If you're not too keen on PCs and riping CDs etc. and can't source a CD12, then there's always the Akurate CD. Have you dem'd that yet Peter? I've heard it briefly and thought it was really very good.

Hi Peter, The good thing about this forum is that it's all based around the Tune Method which just makes life a lot easier. Compare A to B and one will be better - that's it. I've never really understood what the term 'dry' is supposed to mean, although I know it's used a lot (especially with regard...

Hi Peter, I know from your other post that you are also looking at upgrading your source or pre-amp. Perhaps it would be best to make that change first, live with it for a while and then come back to the speaker problem. You might then find that you're happy with your existing speakers after all and...

I'd eventually like to end up with some Klimax power amps Me too, but it will probably be in my next life! Charlie1 wrote: What about a Chakra 4200 and stay with aktiv Ninka? Wouldn't that be an expensive step for relatively little gain? You could always buy ex-demo or used from a dealer. Judging f...

Cheers Thomas.

BTW I didn't realise the Top Plate Fixing made much difference - perhaps I should get mine done after all.

Hi Peter and welcome to the forum. If I were in your situation, I'd go for option 3.) and dem an Akurate DS, but that would be to improve Tune Dem, not more bass control and more dynamics, although I'd expect impovements in that area too. If you're against the idea of a DS, then another option could...

There is a post on Topica singing the praises for a rack made by a company called TimeTable Hi-Fi in Germany. The post claims that they are designed by a former Linn dealer for Linn equipment and also says the upgrade in Tune Dem was similar to going from a 5103 to a K Kontrol. Anyone know anything ...

Thanks Thomas - as helpful as always. I suppose I could buy some US Linn mains leads and a US block like the CablePro. I'd then be rid of the fuses within my existing Linn cables at least. I'll probably leave it as something to come back to when funds permit. I've really enjoyed picking up tips on t...

What about a Chakra 4200 and stay with aktiv Ninka?

Great, Thanks Fredrik. Bought and tested a few mains blocks today. My first conclusion is that endlessly powering on/off/on/off your hi-fi can get a little bit tedious after a while! :evil: Secondly, the differences between blocks was very subtle. More signifcant was the fact that a mains block was ...

Brilliant - thanks zeedje!

Thanks Fredrik. I will buy 2 or 3 cheap ones and report back to the forum. However, before doing so, I've noticed that many blocks over here now come with built-in surge protection. Do you think these are to be avoided? Once I've settled on one, I think I'll also fit it with a Linn mains lead and se...

Only one left for just £25 including postage anywhere in the world !

Will setup eBay 'Buy it now' if preferred.

Thanks Leo. I checked out the Grahams website. Their mains block looks fine, but they don't state the price. To be honest, it looks like something I could put together myself. They say that metal sockets are better, but I'm not sure if that means better Tune Dem or what. My local Focus DIY store sel...

Hi Per A. My HD650s Tune Dem'd like an old fish and were pretty dull musically, but that was through a Majik Kontrol, so you maybe right about them needing a dedicated amp. I know it's not really what you're asking about, but I was only thinking the other day what a great buy the AKG K24P's were. I ...

I would also recommend her first album "Come Away With Me" as being in the same league as the latest if not even a bit better. The second album "Feels Like Home" is a little more country-ish but is also worthwhile. Just ordered both "Come Away With Me" and "Feels Like Home", so will let you know ho...

Hi barend and welcome to the forum. I've not heard the Akurate Kontrol. I don't know if you're in the UK, but for just another £500 you could get an ex-demo Klimax Kontrol from Peter Tyson (see their website). They usually charge £5000, so it's a £1000 cheaper than normal, although it could be quite...

Hi Thomas/Fredrik Any more feedback? How are you getting on with it? I'm also wondering how it compares with the competition. Thanks for the feedback Linnofil. Good to hear your experiences. Has anyone else had a chance to have a listen? Some good photo's: http://www.soundgallery.co.uk/lp12news.html
