For sale: Kikkin 2.2 one month old, mint

This unit arrived with me from Lejonklou on the 24th September 2010. I was three days too late for a refund because my wife had our first child two weeks ago so I was a bit busy to deal with hifi. It's excellent and in perfect working order. It's in the original box and packaging, literally as new. ...

I really like the zapper, especially now it's working. Its small size is very comfortable and you forget it's in your hand.

OK - got it running now. Don't know why the switching trick didn't work at first but now it's fine.

I went to some lengths to get one of these remotes today but it doesn't work. Irritatingly this remote uses AAAA batteries which are hard to find. What is more, if I switch the sleep switch on the Kikkin at any time, the light goes out and will not come on again, no matter whether I reactivate the s...

OK, the Akurate Kontrol has been returned to the dealer. I now have no remote control for the Kikkin, so I can't use it. Where can I get a really cheap remote which is compatible?

Yes, a very kind dealer, Infidelity in Richmond, has borrowed me the AK. I like it but if I'm going to spend that kind of bread on a preamp a used KK is probably more sensible. I certainly don't need all that multi-channel stuff. As regards my Sondek, no, I decided not to Radikalise it after several...

One other relevant point is this: the Kikkin is close enough to an Akurate Kontrol that I can't justify the expenditure on the Akurate. So if I'm to beat the Kikkin I need to spend the bread on something that is significantly better. Maybe a Klimax Kontrol is the next logical step above a Kikkin. Bu...

Thanks for the info Fredrik. Let me make it clear that it sounds very good, and I am comparing it to a 4000 GBP preamp, i.e. one that is six times as expensive. It's just that I have read several comments saying the Kikkin 2 is just as good as an Akurate Kontrol. In my system at the moment I would s...

Does a new Kikkin 2 need time to run in? I was expecting it to match an Akurate Kontrol, according to several comments around here. Frankly, it doesn't. If it does need to run in, how long should it take, and will it run in just by being switched on, or does it need to be working a real signal? Than...

Kikkin or Creek OBH-22?

System is Uphorik and a pair of active AV5125's driving 242's. Will the Uphorik output be loud enough without preamplification? I.e. will the OBH-22 do the business or do I need a good kikkin? On my previous amp (82/hicap/250) Uphorik output seems quite high as I never have to go above 50% on the di...
