.......... it’s worth reminding ourselves that it’s not the most important thing. It’s the only thing!

I'm with the science on HiRes. In my view the one really good thing to come from the HiRes movement is a whole array of digital remasters that are often better than any CD of the album. Science? What science? Can you provide links to the “science” please? Also, can you provide examples of “digital ...

One of the main reasons why is the board's internal DC-DC conversion, which turns the single voltage from the power supply into multiple voltages that feed all the circuits on the board. If the DC-DC conversion chip is bad, or its implementation not well executed, the board doesn't perform any good...

Sorry to hear you’re out of work beck ☹️

Can you describe your felt mod? I think it sounds very, very good and may be of benefit to the dinosaurs still playing cds 😮

B 😊

The Beatles sound great on everything!

However, on track two and three the vinyls were quite a bit better than the CD versions.

Has anyone managed to hear the EE 8Switch yet?

Great to be transported back to the Old Skool charlie1. Thank goodness speakers have moved on since then!

You’ve got several options. A) Contact Falcon Acoustics in the UK. They have the rights to manufacture the original B110, but Linn did their own modifications to the B110, so you may not get an exact match. B) Look for an old Kan B110 on eBay, but there were several B110 specs and modifications so y...

1, 3/2?, 2/3?

Does your top plate have the corner bolt? I’ve never heard a comparison, but I’ve wondered for a long time if it really improves the lp12 or just makes it more impressive? My understanding is that the corner bolt was introduced to make it easier to set up the LP12, i.e. for the benefit of the deale...

What I meant to say was that Linn’s lack of attention to detail these days is truly shocking!

Very interesting! The view round here is that Linn don’t care about maximising musicality any more (which I certainly don’t agree with), but now Linn are re-routing a cable to improve the musicality of the AkRad. Go figure, as they say over the pond.

I think any member can start a poll, but only when starting a new topic.

I don’t know how this would work out, but what about setting up a vote for either A or B, so the “silent majority” can participate easily and anonymously?

C is better than D

👍🤪😂

Gonna cost you!!! They are up to 6 quid now :( Six whole pounds? I remember the day when I could catch a bus to Ikea, buy a Lac and still have enough change out of a fiver for a large roe and chips with a pickled egg on the way home. PS Pre-Cirkus if you don't mind ;) Oops! Sorry, I keep forgetting...

A is louder and more impressive
B is more musical

Oops. Sorry 🙊 I thought you meant long discussions.

The drumming is excellent, but only on the Cirkus deck. Within two drum beats, it’s obvious the Karousel isn’t in the same musical league.


PS. It looks like the Lac is your support of choice these days Charlie1, and your enthusiasm for it has encouraged me to try one out again sometime 😁

Did you both attend the demo?

You went for a dem and didn’t take notice of what you were listening to? Hmm. It would have been helpful if you did! Since that’s the worst performance I’ve heard from a Cirkus, I’d say there was something wrong with the setup. I’ve never heard an lp12 mess the music up so badly, even badly set up ...

What were the turntable setups? Amps? Speakers?
