Nice to see you too, Charlie1!

Following on from this post - has anyone got any recommendations for UK to EU power adapters that sound good?

Slipsik 7 Power Lead

I’ve been offered a Slipsik 7 with an EU power lead, but I live in the UK. Is it possible to change the power lead (I know it’s a captive one, not just a case of plugging it in)? If so, does that mean sending it back to Fredrik, or could it be done by a UK dealer? Alternatively, would a Slipsik 7 go...

Gaio or Kinki

I've recently acquired a Linn Axis turntable. I've had it serviced at a reputable Linn dealer, who also fitted a new Audio Technica MM cartridge (just the entry level model, to get me started). I can use it through the MM phono section on the my office Majik DS, but would like to be able to use it t...

Single Major 109 - Any colour or condition

Does anyone have a spare single Majik 109 speaker? I’ve ended up using one in a temporary office system, with the other channel being connected to a Komponent 106. It gives me music but sounds pretty unbalanced! I can’t even remember how I ended up with one 109 - suspect someone damaged the other. H...

Preamp - Exotik+DA with Dynamik For Sale

Silver Exotik + DA for sale. Fitted with Dynamik PSU, which Linn only offered for a short while but makes a big difference to the sound. Much better than Kairn as a stereo preamp, but also has the flexibility of digital connections and can decode Dolby Digital and DTS to 5.1 surround. £850 plus P&P ...

Re: Tarandus

I have a Tundra 1.2 which I was intending to update to 2.0 at some stage. Would it make more sense to wait until Tarandus for Tundra is available, and then do both as one trip? If so, will there be a cost saving?

Re: Stereo Aktiv Cards and AV5125

Sean - just FYI, Linn never made stereo aktiv cards (the sort you would need for AV5125s) for the Kaber, although they did for the Keilidh. When I upgraded from Keilidh to Kaber, this forced me to get a Tunebox with mono cards in (and then change to a 6100 with chakra cards). These days, I'd probabl...

No mention of any Tundra(s) or Sagatun(s) there...is this confirmation that Boazu is an integrated amplifier? :-)

Re: Lightning or Wireless Headphones

Thanks ML. Some good thoughts there. Yes, the adapter has a built in DAC, as Lightning is digital only. There's been some discussion of whether the iPhone 7 supports aptX but no-one seems to have given a conclusive answer yet. May need to wait until they actually start being delivered to find out - ...

Lightning or Wireless Headphones

Clearly, the iPhone is not exactly the greatest source available, but I like it a lot as a phone and mobile internet device, and it has some great apps which I wouldn't want to lose. I don't want to carry two phones with me, so it's my main source of music while travelling on trains etc. I've just o...

Re: Akurate 242 new base stands

I monitored most of the usual sites for about two years before deciding to just buy a set new when I moved house and wanted to form a relationship with a new local dealer. They don't seem to come up often, probably because they're such a good improvement!

Odd, must be something in the latest version of Chrome then. Not a major issue as Chrome saves my login details anyway, it's just one extra click before I get back to the "New Posts" page.

Has something changed recently in forum settings? For the last week or two I keep being logged out from my phone (not my laptop) and having to re-enter my username/password each time I visit.

Using Chrome on an iPhone (latest versions of both - well, iOS 9.2, not yet upgraded to 9.3).

Re: Totem Dreamcatchers

I heard them at Anthony's a couple of years ago and was very impressed. Great little pair of speakers. If I didn't already have 109s for the library then I might well have bought a pair.
