Re: Linn klimax Twin Dynamik

Thx Anthony... maybe I thinking of the speaker connections. Neutrik or posts. I had one for a couple of years. Loved it with the dynamic upgrade. Plain chakra version was harsh. I need a better amp on a second linn system to drive 212s.

Re: Slipsik 7

So... I got my first Lejonklou piece. I purchased a used Slipsik 7.1 off the forum. Very nice indeed. I'm using it in my second system that consistes of an Rega Planar 8 with Adikt II, Majik DSM/2, Rotel RB-1050, Akurate 212s and a 221. The Slipsik certainly sounds much more musical (following instr...

Re: The Mighty AT95E Becomes The AT-VM95E

Ron, the AT-VM95E certainly showed the door to the old K5 I’ve been using on my Rega Planar 8. I have an Adikt on order. This is a second system but I’ve been having a lot of fun listening during the lockdown... its an analog system of sorts (Planar 8, Majik DSM, Rotel RB1050, Akurate 212s and a 221...

Re: Suggestions - Rega Planar 8 Cartridge

Hey Folks. Okay this reinforces my original thoughts. Linn it is then. Maybe I'll replace the stylus on the K9 but I'll probably just opt for an Adikt and make a trip to Ann Arbor when things open up to hear a GAIO. I have had many incarnations of my LP12, which is now a Klimax Unit except I'm still...

Suggestions - Rega Planar 8 Cartridge

Hello. I picked up a used Rega Planar 8 from a buddy... came without a cartridge. I’ve been using an old K9 but it’s tired. I’m running it through a Linn Majik DSM, a Rotel Power Amp, and Linn 212s with a 221. It’s a second system. Any thoughts on a good MM cartridge to use with an eye to buying a G...

Re: The Linn forum is officially dead

It’s silly the info is gone. I can tell you no dealer, or Linn for that matter, ever offered as much support - as Briain - when I had DS problems back in 2009. That help kept me hooked into using a DS when it wasn’t quite soup. Many of us helped people aktivate old systems and deal with tech issues....

Re: Linn forum down?

Well the net effect is this... the forum shutdown is typical Linn wackiness. Like my dealer not necessarily being able to sell me a Urika II, another story. They are right and everyone else doesn’t matter. It makes me far more interested in looking at alternatives to Linn. I just swapped my 212s Exa...

Re: The New Lejonklou Streamer

It's one heck of a task given that digital - always - sounds inconsistent at my home. I've further compounded my digital issues by going Exakt a few years back. I appreciate the difficulty of this task; too bad you couldn't partner with Linn to sharing research resources and findings but I don't thi...

Re: Linn discontinues all analog preamps!

While I'm very happy with the sound of my Exakt system (took forever to setup correctly), all this will do is further alienate Linn's customer base. That's not good at all; and creates some hypothetical issues and reinforces some concerns I had before deciding I would take the plunge into Exakt. As ...

Re: Exakt

Hi Andrew. I think Exakt's biggest issue is setup. While I don't want to purposely offend anyone... it's a bitch to get Exakt setup correctly and I'm not backing down. I don't believe that most dealers know how to setup the system (Linn's docs are mediocre at best); and it's not a one or two hour se...

Re: DS to /2 upgrade

Anthony. It's possible that something wasn't setup correctly and it does all come down to taste for sure. I did have the HDMI outputs turned off however. In the end, as an analog piece, something was definitely missing for me.Jeff

Re: Exakt

For what it's worth, Exakt installation is not straightforward. It's time consuming and from my perspective takes a lot of tunedem and tinkering to achieve satisfaction. I can't see having a dealer come over for the afternoon and getting it close to right; well unless they set up A LOT of systems an...
