Re: Pete's System
would you care to elaborate on the details of the sealant you used. might be a good experiment for my spare kabers. I followed the steps detailed here and used the same sealant recommended: https://hifikabin.me.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2665 I was initially planning to test with a pair of sacrificial spea...

Re: Playlist
I finally feel that I'm hearing this LP properly for the first time, despite owning it on various media for the last 37 years.

Re: Linn Akito/1 Refresh
Thanks for your thoughts.
I think I'll just bide my time and enjoy the deck as it is.
Despite the Akito's disappointing failure in the vertical and horizontal bearing tests, I'm really enjoying the LP12.

Linn Akito/1 Refresh
Now that I know my Akito bearings need a service, I'm wondering if I should also consider a rewire. I've been recommended J7. Has anyone had bearings and wiring serviced for the Akito/1? It would cost in total 1/3-1/2 the price of a used Ittok. I don't know what sort of tune impact the wiring would ...

Re: Pete's System
I followed Peter Swain's recommendation to replace the foam gaskets in my Espeks with a sealant. I wish I had recorded before and after clips as the difference is substantial, with improvements across the whole frequency range. It's like I have new speakers. I applied the same torques to the drivers...

Heat Shrink Recommendations
Having re-terminated my K400, I'd like to keep oxidation at bay. Any recommendations for suitable heat shrink tubing?

Re: Pete's System
LP12 with Lingo 1, Kore and Karousel now hosting my old Akito.
Sounds lovely, even though the Akito bearings apparently need replacing on both axes.

Re: Gaio 2.4 into Linn Kairn Aktiv Kaber system.
Ha! No that wasn't my meaning. I saw this sentence:
But it's definitely best to listen for yourself if you can. Only you can judge if it's worth the difference.You need a Gaio to better the Linn MM board.

Re: Pete's System
Another change to my system: I have replaced my Kinki 3 with a Slipsik 7.1 This is a great upgrade for my Axis, and I've been playing LPs since it arrived. Initially I was playing discs to help burn in the Slipsik, but now it's so enjoyable I just keep putting more discs on. In a month or so, the va...

Re: Pete's System
A few weeks ago I resoldered the knekt banana plugs on half of my K400 speaker cables, using Fredrik's solder and recommended temperature. I also replaced 3 of the plugs. In a few months time I'll post comparison clips, allowing a good burn in. However in the room I'm delighted with the improvement,...

Spotify Lists Discs
As an album listener, this is very welcome for me.
Spotify now lists the discs for albums.
This means it's easier to play the original track listings as curated by the artist, ignoring all the other tracks stuffed into "deluxe" issues by marketing ;)

Radio Paradise iOS App Settings
I was demonstrating to my wife the difference between low resolution and low quality via Radio Paradise Källa, and made a useful discovery. In short, set to quality to "ultra". The app default seemed to be "high". IMG_20240331_164338066_MFNR.jpg I suspect that "Ultra" is ALAC. I tried FLAC and didn'...
