So we have $2400 divided by 2000 hours which gives us $1.20 per hour of use. With the typical record being 45 minutes then we have $.90 per record. Don't you think that a little under $1.00 per record is a fair price to pay for a magical experience? HOW MUCH! Time to get my old tape deck down from ...

One of my friends just told me on Monday, that my Sondek sounds very much like a master tape recording. All of the descriptions made by ThomasOK are basically what others are saying regarding the Radikal and Dynamik power supply. I made a statement on another forum, that the Radikal with Dynamik pow...

I can imagine that! As I've decided to try ( after all, it depends on how costly future upgrades will be) keeping my LP12 in top spec apart from using an Adikt, I will probably go down the Radikal/D and new Mogami T kable road. Quite excited to hear what those two will do. For a couple of weeks in ...

I must say it looks like a very nice room in which to listen to music. My walls are still bare :( Did you not have a listen to the Urika upgrade alone prior to the Dynamik fitting - just to get an idea of what does what? Yes, the Urika was listened to with a non-Dynamiked Radikal . In fact, all of ...

After the Akurate Radikal was upgraded with the new Dynamik power supply, and the Sondek upgraded with the Linn Urika phono preamplifier, I placed the Radikal on the top shelf and that was a major sonic improvement. Also, I was able to move the tuner up one shelf, take away one power cord and one se...

ThomasOK has several torque measurements for the Radikal, the five screws for the circuit board, four screws for the XLR sockets, three screws for the power supply cover, and two screws for the actual power supply itself, for a total of fourteen screws. He didn't just tighten them up, he used a spec...

Here are a few pictures of the new Linn Dynamik power supply being installed into my Akurate Radikal. The original Radikal power supply is green and the new Linn Dynamik is blue. http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k542/sarahk327/Linn%20May%202%202011/100_1937.jpg http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums...

Re: spectral

My dealer is both spectral and linn dealer and he says spectral is better than Linn. The Spectral DMA 260 is the most musical and the fastest amp in the world! Even better than the DMA 360S2s which sell for 30 000 Euro! The 260 costs btw just 15 000 Euro...! Solos are slow. Even the newest ones whi...

Will the newer Linn tonearm cable sound better than the Linn Silver interconnect used with the Urika? This is not a comparable product. The new Linn T.Kable is unnecessary on the Urika as the cable from the arm to the Urika is part of the Urika. It is only about 6" long, is very thin and flexible a...

Interesting, by the way...is there an underground news network that can get information from Linn, long before it's released to the public? Perhaps "insider information?"
