Re: Wife issue ...

This turns out to be quite an enjoyable thread! ThomasOK is probably spot on :-) The last two examples looks like some mean laser beam weapons from a bad Star Wars copy sci fi-flic.

Re: Wife issue ...

Klangedang is out of the question from her point of view, as is Akudorik, 320a and probably 99% of all "serious" speakers. Prior to me showing her the Lignea, she suggested Devialet Phantom on their tripod stands (a friend has them). But that was not an option for me. Too digital, too gimmicky, don'...

Re: Wife issue ...

How long have you have had your 242 and what part of your Hifi-kit is it that your wife disapprove of? Why the sudden change and need to replace? I’m living in a small apartment and managed to keep the “madness” in an acceptable WAF level. Only the LP12 and akudoriks visible. I know that I could ge...

Re: Wife issue ...

Thanks for all the feedback! I am sure the Tundra amps are great. I'll put them up as an option. However, sticking with Linn probably makes trade-in easy and swift. My wife likes small, neat (not Neat) and design oriented speakers. She hates almost all serious ones. I googled hundreds of speakers an...

Wife issue ...

Sad to say, I have to sell or trade in a wonderful, active 242 MK1 system powered by a latest spec Akurate 4200/D and a Majik 6100/D. Front end is a maxed out LP12 and a Klimax Kontrol that I intend to keep. Plan is to go two-channel with a loudspeaker approved by my wife ... I want to stick to with...

Re: New LP12 Urika II phonostage and Lingo 4

I love vinyl. And I love my Klimax LP12 ;-) Sorry for my somewhat theoretical thoughts. My post was just me contemplating the fact (and irony) that the best analogue playback Linn now offers, is a digital one, and what that – in theory – could imply. Of course, there would be loads of practical and ...

Re: New LP12 Urika II phonostage and Lingo 4

If the Urika II brings the best out of the LP12, there is only need for one flagship LP12 in the world. Linn can start selling "vinyl" for download, played on a perfectly set up LP12 and recorded by the Urika II. Neither is there any need for more than one great pressing of any album, and it only ne...

Yep!

I listened to a full blown LP12 SE yesterday (with Radikal & Urika) and I can confirm – it´s amazing. The new upgrades take all the Keel and Ekos SE benefits further, much further. They transport you directly to the recording session, everything is laid out, every melody and instrument is perfectly ...

What about Harbeth?

Another BBC-style monitor company is Hartbeth, and their speakers seems to be immensly popular, especially on the Pink Fish forum and in Japan. I´ve just had a brief encounter with the Compact 7 model MK2 (MK3 is now on the market). It sounded very natural, open and musical. But I never did any seri...

Concerning my friend's system – I forgot to mention his amp. He has a well regarded Primare integrated (the biggest one) driving the Dynaudios. Perhaps it's unfair to compare his set up with own, active Linn LP12 system, which is well set up and sound amazing. I rarely hear something that I would ra...

Thanks Radar for the input. I'm also interested in a "volume issue" that I read about somewhere on a forum. Apparently, If I remember correctly, the writer noticed a volume drop listening to the ADM-9 with a turntable/phono stage connected. Could it be that the line stage in the ADM-9 is designed fo...

By the way, Thomas – how would you describe and rate the ADM-9 compared to the Neutron IV?

Ok

Thanks for the useful comments, Ironically, the non-source first company could actually leed way to a more severe source first system than the source first company probably would recommend ... Anyhow, a good friend of mine has already made up his mind going for ADM-9 speakers – unheard. And that wil...

AVI ADM-9 with LP12?

Hi! Has anybody listened to the AVI ADM-9 active loudspeaker? It´s got internal power amps and crossovers inside, and even a line pre-amp. What makes a vinyl junkie like me curious is the following possible "free" change: From: Lingo II, Trampolin, lp12, Ekos II, Adikt, Kairn, 3xKlout, active Kaber ...
