Re: Recommended network components

I also use two Amplifi HD for my NG-KSH and can confirm that the Port 3 sounds a bit more musical. Thanks fatjulio for the free upgrade!

*Sold* Linn Akurate Radikal/2 (black)

The Akurate Radikal/2 motor control unit is one and a half years old. Due to a change to the Klimax Radikal/2 it is now for sale. Motor and sensor are identical on the Akurate and Klimax Radikal/2, so I have decided not to rebuild it and offer the brand new motor and sensor. The casing does not show...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

I like version D a little better than C. The music seems a little more alive, listening is even more fun.

Perhaps it is because the power supply, as plugged in for this recording, causes less interference in the switch. It can do what it is supposed to do better.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

Version C touches me the most, the rhythm and the expressive voice of the singer draw me into the flow of the music.
Then follows B and after that A.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

About Tendaberry's clips:

I prefer version A.
The singer's voice is a bit more soothing and balanced. In version B, it sounds a bit tighter. The high-frequency range is emphasised more in B. This makes the music a bit more artificial, less natural.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

Hello Tom, since your "historic" Quad ESLs do not seem to have suffered any damage, you are still lucky. You can replace everything else without any problems, even if the shock is initially very great. I hope that an insurance company will cover the overvoltage damage. I will try the 7.0 Nm value fo...

Entity MC

The enthusiasm of Alex Halberstadt, the reviewer of Stereophile (July 2022 issue) for the Entity phono preamplifier becomes clear from a few quotes from the review (I assume that this is permissible): ’… , the Entity sounded neutral, extended, and transparent. Listening to "Footprints" from Miles Da...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

I like the A2 and B2 versions better. On A2, Holly Cole's typical almost sleepy vocals are even more insistent, percussion and double bass are more contoured, the piano interjections are more immediate. On B2, the notes of the sitar(?) at the beginning of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" resonate bet...

Hello Vic, The Exaktbox6 is still available. I checked the shipping options from Germany to Puerto Rico: The dhl shipping of a package up to 10 kg with a transit time of 6-14 days (i.e. air freight) including insurance up to 3000 € would cost about 150 €. You could save about €30 on shipping costs b...

Re: Lingo 4 upgrade

Normally you don't have to reorder the new standoffs. They are included in the Lingo4 package.
Have you already asked your dealer if the new standoffs are included in your package?

Hello BSilviuLuc,

I noticed in the LP12 photo from your dealer that the standoffs are still in the position required for the Majik PSU.
Maybe the dealer hadn't removed the old standoffs at the time of the photo and the new standoffs are still in the packaging of the Lingo4 ...

Re: Lingo 4 upgrade

In the last Lingo4 packages, the new standoffs were always already included.
Are you sure your dealer got a new Lingo4 package from Glasgow or did he have an older one in stock?

Re: Lingo 4 upgrade

Your dealer should order the new standoffs from Linn free of charge. They have been part of the scope of delivery for a long time.
You can then exchange the standoffs at the next LP12 service. - It will then sound even better!

Hello BSILVIULUC, You are right, they are the old standoffs. Your dealer should reorder the new ones from Linn. I see from the dealer's photo that your dealer is using the installation manual with revision number 8 - but it is currently number 11. Here is the excerpt from the current instructions: L...

Re: Recommended network components

I like version B best.
The accents of the rhythm instruments can be heard well throughout the flow of the music. The melody lines of the singer fit in well.

Now that the Amplifis are available again, I received 2 on Thursday. In order not to endanger the existing network (I am not a network expert), I selected bridge mode for the first Amplifi. Otherwise I did everything as Fredrik described. In the music room, the cabling with two power strips is also ...
