Thanks for all the input! I will stick with my Apple TV for now. If there are any "audio streaming for dummies" links which show how all the bips and bops fit together I'd love to hear about it. You specifically need a Netgear GS108, not an "ethernet switch" as most worsen the music. Is a Netgear GS...

This might be a bit late posting this in this thread.. it involves questions to earlier thread replies. Now I have been following this thread with great interest. I have not always been so good at reading the replies before asking more questions. I have appreciated all the info but am still a little...

Hi all, Thanks for all the super input, although I am now rather confused. I have since gotten a 4G router which gives the possibility to connect 4 devices with ethernet cables. How do I connect a mac mini with my preamp (digital TOSlink input or RCA analogue), how do I connect the mac to the networ...

My suggestion would be to add a new stylus to the K9, or replace it with an AT-VM95 https://lejonklou.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4850 Fascinating reading. I can see that I should have kept the K9 and replaced the stylus..much simpler! Unfortunately I have bought the Troika now. It was used as a ...

sorry about that..newbie! I have the following: - LP12 with cirkus, valhalla, Ittok LVII, Trampolin I, and Linn K9 (soon to be replaced by a Troika) - Vincent phono stage (rubbish..to be replaced) - Unidisk SC w/ Dynamik - Klout - K400 speaker cables - Linn Kan II I am looking at replacing that whic...

Yes, I was thinking the same until I saw the price in Denmark. I am afraid it is a little out of my league.

2nd response from Linn says there is only one version of the Linto so you were right!
I guess the Mk2 being sold is a home-grown upgrade :-)

I am glad I checked as the seller is asking ~150Euro more than other Lintos on the market.

Thanks for your feedback.
Unfortunately the AK/1 has been sold :-(
I will have to go back to a Kinos, and get a separate phono stage (e.g. Linto).

yes, good point,
This was the response from Linn helpline. I asked about the Linto and gave the serial number of the Linto I was looking at. I will have to ask them again.

Hi all, Have communicated with Linn and there are indeed 2 versions of the Linto. "The serial number of the Lingo power supply you have quoted was manufactured in February 2007 and is indeed a Lingo 2 version. The difference between the Lingo and Lingo 2 is that the Lingo 2 was upgraded with surface...

that is great. Thanks for the quick feedback! That just saved me a bit. I am afraid I cannot afford the Klimax twin. I am not familiar with the Lejonklou Tundra but I guess it is in the same price league. What about bi-wiring from the one Klout? I had the kan's bi-wired with kimber cables and then w...

I am thinking of adding a Klout amplifier to my setup to be used for bi-amping my Kan II speakers. Does anyone have experience on this and whether it is worth the investment? Also, I have read the term "quinwiring" used several times in this forum. Can someone explain what this means and what is req...

No I am asking about the Linto. I am looking at one for sale that is labelled as Mk2. The seller claims that there are improvements with capacitors and filters.

Does anyone know what improvements/changes were made with the Linto Mk2 over Mk1. I have been surfing for days and cannot find any information other than a spec sheet for what I assume is the original Mk1.

That is great..thanks!
I will have to find a newer Akurate on the used market.
Have my eye on a Akurate 2 which is about 200Euro more expensive.
Do you know if the phono stage is better on this than the AK/0?

Sorry I meant the Stageline K!!

Hi all, Am looking at purchasing a Naim Stageline N/S or Linn Linto (or corresponding Phono MC in on a Linn preamplifier) to be used with a Linn Troika. What I am wondering is why the Naim Stageline N is meant to match the Troika when it only has a gain of 60dB. The Troika is an ultra low output MC ...

I am looking at buying a first generation Akurate Kontrol w/o Dynamik. I have heard that the AK/0 enjoys an enormous improvement with the Dynamik.

I have a Unidisk SC with Dynamik. Are Dynamik modules interchangeable? Can I swap modules?

Thanks!

ahhh..too late :-)
Ended up buying another USC with new laser and Dynamik..didnt pay much for it so dont feel too bad.
At least I can read my discs again.

Does anyone know where one can get plates joining the terminals on a bi-wired Kan II. I would like to go back to single wiring and prefer not to jury rig with wire between.

I guess these are generic as I had a set for Kabers at one time

Thanks!

I'd advise Allan not to get a Linn DS; it is not for him. He should first get the fastest cable at home, not a jury-rigged 4G arrangement. Then a Netgear GS108/Blue Jeans ethernet system. Then an Apple Mac mini, using the headphone out into the preamp. That will cost less than a Linn Akurate stream...

As an aside..I had a friend over recently to do a blind listening test between Tidal and Spotify, on my iPad. I trusted his ear better than mine. One could definitely hear the difference. Tidal won on the acoustic numbers ( "Mayfly" Paul Weller) but interestingly enough my friend chose Spotify on th...

Hi all, Thanks for all the input! Made a little mistake...I actually had meant Kinos and not Kisto. So I appreciate the feedback on both! I'm afraid my budget does not cover the Kisto. It sounds like the Kinos, or Akurate kontrol is the choice here. I should mention I recently replaced my old SC wit...

Hi I am considering replacing my Unidisk SC with a Kisto or Kairn as preamp to my Klout. I am not convinced with the Unidisk’s preamp performance. I am looking into a MC phono stage as well for my LP12/Ittok/Troika. The Kairn, which is supposed to have an excellent MM/MC phono stage, has the advanta...
