I do prefer the teak ones, more boogie.

I'm quite sure the Solos would be better. Or maybe a new pair of Tundra Monos?

Fleet Foxes - Shore. As good as anything they've released and that's an accomplishment of note.

Listening to that on Qobuz now, it's very good indeed. I used to own Carole Bayer Sager's first album and played it quite a lot in the late 70's, but it was stolen out of my basement a few years back :-(

Probably not that relevant to most of us, but due to the fact that the manufacturer of the tonearm for the Majik LP12, Jelco, closed its gates after more than 100 years in the business, Linn had to find a new supplier. The new tonearm supplier is, somewhat surprisingly, the German company Clearaudio...

Congratulations Fredrik! That review made me want to go out and buy it myself :-)

Send me a PM with your e-mail, then I'll send the instructions to you.

It was so apparent when I swapped back to the Linn that Bill Wyman was playing was rock and roll. Stones released more fantastic live material with their reissue of Goat’s Head soup.

Oh yes! The live gig in Brussels rocks big time!

Here are a couple of nice ones:

Thanks for the pics Thomas :-) Going to try this soon!

I did just see that Linn has changed their recommendation for the Karousel attachment torque to 3.5Nm from the original 4.0Nm. It appears it is time to try some more torques!

That would be most appreciated :-)

I have a Linn t-shirt :-) And there's always this:

I prefer the second one too, the groove is more irresistable.

Very good examples of good bass playing, Thomas! I tend to like the funky bass players from the late 60's or early 70's Here's Bob Darin from his best album Commitment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLEAuhmgCZU Or listen to Rick Danko's (The Band) bass on King Harvest: https://www.youtube.com/watc...

I bought 2 Music Line power strips. Thank’s for the tip Tendaberry You're welcome :-) Now you only need the best wall socket too ;-) That would be the THPG 176400: https://www.voltus.de/?cl=details&anid=814c40a6bcbfa46fd822028530e71816&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7YP2ptfv6gIVSeh3Ch05GgcfEAYYASABEgIgtPD_BwE T...

I would definitely recommend a record cleaning machine. I waited a long time berore I bought one and now I couldn't live without it. Even brand new records sound better after they have been cleaned. If you don't want to spend too much, a good starting point is the new Okki Nokki One, which is much m...

Here is a funny one! 😃 Do you prefer the music in normal playback or as part of a programmed playlist?

I heard a single-drive speaker without a crossover once and it's one of my worst hi-fi experiences ever, so there must be more to speaker design than just that... I tend to agree with Sunbeam here.

In that case I'm ok with the cracks. There's so much more insight into the music with Karousel, that I cannot imagine going back. Still not conviced by Exakt though...
Fredrik, can I ask, if you have tried the Karousel at home for a month or so?

I finally found First Aid Kit - Stay Gold as a US-pressing :-)

All C2200 are Chakra, but not all have the Dynamik power supply...

Anyone tested > this < ( German mains power strip )

Nope, but since it's an internet shop, maybe you can order it and try. And send it back, if it's no good... The Music Line power strip is hard to beat...

Yeah, I know what you mean. But I found both the SR125 and the SR325 to be a little too bright and bass shy compared too my PS500e, so it may be a good thing.
You can actually fit the larger G cushions to the PS500's, but I don't know if it's possible for the SR125's.

I only feel the pressure of my PS500e's after a few hours, but then again, they have the L cushions and the SR125e's have the S cushion. Another factor is if you wear glasses or not and the size of your ears. It might also be an option to replace the standard cushions with one of these: https://www....

Fantastic sound and great music!
