I don't think I would do that. I would either look for some Solos (if you want the family look) or some Tundra Monos.

I think Linto makes more sense of the music.

I agree, it's especially noticeable in the guitar melody at the beginning of the first song.

No big surprise there :-) My new LP12 ships on Wednesday, so I'll have it before Easter.

OK...that's it! I gotta get me some REM. I miss this album!

It's one of their best I think, particularly side B. Obviously you can easily get a US pressing which is probably even better.

I can confirm that it's worth getting the US pressing, I've had both (UK&EU and US).

that sounds promising the translator also said: obviously the best upgrade for the money for the LP12

That's correct! And Anders at Tonläget isn't normally one to exaggerate...

I just talked to my dealer and he had just received a brand new Akurate LP12 with Karousel. He was absolutely astounded by how good it was. He had never thought the difference would be so big, it was almost like a Klimax LP12 :-) Everything sounded so natural and there was much more feeling in voice...

Okay, as we now are trained in having several comparisons going at the same time I will continue my hunt. The question is what part of the carbon fibers I shall use as support point for the cd power cable. Using the tip of the carbon brush fibers (tip): https://www.dropbox.com/s/mrckikqn2gvvyb3/Vid...

This is the Lingo 4, which has been available since January 2018. It's a lot better than the previous models.

thank you TMV.
I will start over.
I have an LP12, with a Kandid and a Radikal.
No Urika.
Will the Radikal connect to the MM phono stage of a McIntosh (4100) receiver?

Why don't you just get a (second-hand) Urika 1? It would fit right in to your system. Or maybe a Lejonklou Entity MC preamp?

I'm trying to optimise my digital playback, here are 3 clips containing 2 possible improvements (or not...) Which of the clips is the best one? https://www.dropbox.com/s/e3ebihzzgl7neah/Video%2014.03.20%2C%2018%2015%2030.mov?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/y3jekofooc9z405/Video%2014.03.20%2C%2018%20...

I prefer the first clip. The music is easier for me to understand and get into. Tendaberry, you owe us an explanation regarding the picture. Is it a scientist playing back animal calls to see if they react to it or? :-) Well, I'm a movie buff and the picture is from Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo fro...

Update: I just ordered a new LP12 in walnut with the Karousel bearing :-) Sounds beautiful. But I don't get the (financial) logic behind this. Isn't it wasting the free upgrade? I'm asking because my black plinth looks pretty worn. A cat-astrophic sequence of events (think dominoes) lead to a cut i...

A nice "oldie"

I will report on this, when I get my freshly ordered LP12 in April.

Since the Tundra can drive a pair of Linn Akurate 242's, there should be no problem with the 805's.

Alela Diane - About Farewell (US 2013) , sounds great on vinyl! Bonnie Raitt - Luck Of The Draw (US 1991) , yes this is an old one. But I only had a European pressing, after comparing them, my friends said that the European pressing sounded broken... Martha Wainwright - I Know You're Married But I ...

From the Hidden Systems homepage: "As an introductory offer Linn are offering a new Karousel bearing free when you spend £3000 or more buying any Linn items. The offer is valid for orders placed from 23rd March to 22nd May and will be delivered before 29th May." So I would say it's valid for amps an...

If Charlie1 gets to play disco, I'm going to play country (the only country album I own):
0.6 +4: https://youtu.be/tQj-e1U_CZU
0.6 +3: https://youtu.be/zTi9VB90yIA

0,6 +4 would also be my pick.

Two more, but not necessarily in the same order:

Clip 1

Clip 2
https://www.dropbox.com/s/nh8vfq2sf7znh ... m.mov?dl=0

I clearly prefer clip 1 here.

Not sure where to post this, so adding to this thread: has anyone tried these power cords on digital equipment, such as DS, Hakai, or (LS/Hakai) NAS? I know I can try for myself, especially since Tom sent me some cords but, if they make a 'profound musical gain' on my digital devices too, I'll need...

It would be great to hear your old 0.6+4 clip versus 0.6+4 with new power cables.....

Yeah, I would be interested to hear 0,6 + 4 with the new power cords against 0,6 + 5

With your latest clips markiteight I enjoy them more and more the lower you go. 0.6+4 is my pick.

0,6 + 4 is the one, that made me want to listen to the whole song.

I think it's a case of the pre-Cirkus bearing + Valhalla not resolving enough and smearing what's actually happening when the musicians play. They may therefore sound tighter than they actually are, or at least you interpret it that way. I know I couldn't give up Cirkus (well, I will for Karousel), ...
