There has been a "leak" on the Swedish Linn forum (Selleri) after I played my final proto power amplifier over a pair of Linn Komri loudspeakers last week. It was also briefly compared to a pair of Linn Solo power amps, the outcome of which I won't comment. The power amp soon to be released is call...

That's not a bad idea, one of my friends own a vpi record cleaning machine and he'll bring it over periodically for me to use too!

I'm still looking for a copy. They were sold out at the local book store before I could get there.

Any additional information regarding the Khan?

Have not seen this before, but it might be worth checking out and comparing with the VPI unit.

Interesting and informative link, thanks for posting!

Wow, that is Radikal news...for sure! It does sound like the cost could be considered reasonable, compared to purchasing the Klimax Kontrol and KDS separately. Linn continues to move ahead with innovation!

I always look back to the Advent Speakers. I only heard them in shops, but I remember them as being music for dollar values. This was before I had heard Linn. I worked in a record shop during my high school years that had a set of Advent speakers (can't remember the model number). The owner could u...

Wow, the Marantz 8B power amplifier...it's been a long time since I've seen one of those! They have been able to hold their value over the years, and can still compete with many modern power amplifiers of today...good choice ThomasOK.

How about "Kripton" ?

Yes, very much so.

I read it. Very good reviews. You must be really delighted.

Congratulations Lejonklou...I'll look for a copy at my local book store!

This information was posted on another forum, and apparently not many people are happy with the merge. Only time will tell if Naim becomes a better company or a worse company as a result of this merge.

Not certain why, but overall my system is sounding better now. Originally it sounded great in May, but recently there has been an improvement. Perhaps my Akiva is breaking in, along with the Radikal Dynamik power supply. Needless to say, I still like my system and all of the upgrades!

I have heard Kahn deck, sounded good. They have sent me one to try. I'll fit it to my deck and take pics and give a NO BULLSHIT review of the sound. At the very least it gets rid of the bolts being mis-aligned due to the top plate bending. That sounds great, I'm looking forward to your thoughts ! !...

lejonklou wrote:Yes, very cool. I've been waiting for someone to do a "machined from solid" top plate ever since the Keel came out.

I hope it's good!

Me too, I really want to hear this new top plate product ! ! !

That should stimulate some interest, and opinions ! ! !

Great write-up Thomas, sounds like a very good alternative to the Keel.

That is interesting news ThomasOK, thanks for sharing! Perhaps the Linn Akiva won't have a name change, but will continue to be improved over time. Unless of course Linn eventually creates a totally differnet moving coil cartridge.

Looking forward to your thoughts after the initial break-in period.

... show the strength of using the Tune Method for evaluation: We often arrive at results that don't seem to fit our theory. In my opinion, the main reason why so many HiFi companies fail to make musical products is that they cling to theories. Every HiFi personality I've spoken to have theories th...

I also prefer listening to speakers over headphones, but do enjoy my headphone listening sessions late at night so as not to disturb my wife. I have Sennheiser HD600s and like them a lot. Good point, it's important to be considerate to others when listening to music...especially if they are asleep!...

This information makes me question why Linn made such a change in the first place...perhaps the newer tonearm cable is cheaper? That sounds unlikely, Tony. The cable is really cheap, yes. But a change for the worse, regarless of price, makes absolutely no sense for a company that lives on selling q...

Thanks for the detailed "tonearm cable" research Lejonklou and jajo! This information makes me question why Linn made such a change in the first place...perhaps the newer tonearm cable is cheaper? Plus it's still a mystery (to me) why Linn changed their silver interconnects as well...unless it's abo...

This is actually good news for me, because I'm selling my set of Linn Silver T-Kable. Don't need them with the Urika...

I was worried people would want the newer cable over the original.

lejonklou wrote:Jajo and I just finished an extensive comparison between my old Linn Silver T-kable and the new Linn Mogami T-kable. The verdict is clear: The new T-kable is not good at all. Will post you more details later.

Wow, that's an interesting finding! Looking forward to further details.

By the way, has anybody been able to compare or evaluate the Dynamik power supply in the Uphorik phono preamplifier?
