Re: Linn Classik Movie Di

Hi Donald The do turn up on eBay as 'spares and repairs' and the usual culprit is the laser (or for the even lazier - the belt). It is therefore worth contacting the vendor and simply asking if it powers up! There is one on there at the moment: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304113261976?hash=item46ce90...

Linn Majik Exaktbox-i Silver

Hi all For sale is my Linn Majik Exaktbox-i in silver. I'm selling because, as I've added more black boxes to the system, I've sourced a black ExaktBox -i. There are absolutely no issues with the unit - it is currently set to run active Keilidhs (I've only ever used six of the eight available channe...

Re: Lejonklou in a dual use music and HT system

I am not running a system like that but the Lejonklou Sagatun preamps do have a HT bypass option. It is accessed by holding down the SRC/MUTE button when the unit is powering up which then makes input 4 a unity gain pass-through. Whoa! That is great news! I didn't know that. Now I have a plan for m...

Re: Amp and other upgrade options...

I general I agree but with the Kisto, in my rack, I make an exception. My Kisto will get quite warm on standby - always has.

Re: Amp and other upgrade options...

Snatex, how are you powering down the Kisto? I believe it goes into standby mode when I press power on my remote or the front of the unit. The screen goes black but there is still a light around the power button on the front. This is an interesting question. I'm not sure why you have asked it, but ...

Re: LINN Classik K - CD Engine & DAC Quality

I'm not sure whether your <£700 CD player budget is for new or used, but you could get an Exposure CD player for that budget (used) - such as a 3010. I've never owned one myself but have listened to one several times as, at one point, I was considering a full Exposure 3010 system (CD, Pre, Power) - ...

Re: LINN Classik K - CD Engine & DAC Quality

Whilst on the subject of old Linn CD players, I have a Classik Movie which is really quite a decent CD player with a perfectly good preamp and amplfier section. As enjoyable as a Genki/Kolektor/LK85 combo that I started off my Linn journey with, but not up to the Ikemi that I replaced the Genki wit...

Re: LINN Classik K - CD Engine & DAC Quality

Thank you So, would you put it on a par with Genki or Ikemi? And, the $64k question, what level of DAC would improve it? I have one in the kitchen, with Katans, and my dad uses one as his main pre-power combination. he uses it in conjunction with an LK140 - also with Katans. Is it as good as a Genk...

Re: Mounting Krystal MC on Ekos SE/1

Thanks! - now I understand what you mean. I was thinking that the reason was more because you couldn't get the arm leads in place without bending them to the right. My Asaka is also slightly skewed in the same way - and it too is probably 1mm or less. The Asaka doesn't, of course, have the rear loca...

Do you have a picture of this that you could share? I'm thinking of a Krystal for my Ekos 2 also. I'm nit sure about what is meant by 'as...

Re: Linn adikt - question and need opinion please

Sorry! If the Roksan Nima was a touch better on the eye then I could have been tempted to give it a go as I'm a fan of unipivots (and an Aro is way to expensive). I very nearly bought an AO Uniarm - and still intended to but at a later date - but unfortunately that boat has now sailed and the Roksan...

Re: Linn adikt - question and need opinion please

I agree, prices for Ittoks are strong in the UK today - but relatively so is the Basik + . Not long ago mine sold for £95 - today nearer £175. I was working on the VM95e (quoted in the first post) which sells for under £50 in the UK - £380 less that the Adikt. My "£200 ' wasn't the difference betwee...

Re: Linn adikt - question and need opinion please

If your budget and other logistics allow it, you may want to consider getting the AT cartridge and putting the remaining funds that would have gone toward an Adikt into a better arm. A VM95 on an Ittok will almost certainly out perform an Adikt on a Basik. I don't know this for certain but the sour...

Re: Linn Linto Mk1 vs Mk2

Nor is it strictly correct - if even for a Lingo 2. All Lingo 2s are in the full size LK box but some of the early ones have exactly the same cards as in the last of the ;shoebox' sized cases.Asfar as I can tell there are no surface mount parts on the L1 boards.

Re: Unidisk SC, Kisto or Kairn

My Exotik was without dynamic and was a much better pre amp than the USC - I had both side by side for the duration that I had the Exotik. I replaced the Exotik with a Kinos - to my ears the Kinos was an improvement. I used ( and still do - into the Kisto) a Lejonklou Gaio into the Kinos. I had the ...

Re: Unidisk SC, Kisto or Kairn

I went the following route: Kolektor > Karin >AV 5103 > Unidisk SC > Exotik (non D) > Kinos > Kisto. In terms of pre amp performance (my Exotic had a Phono stage) then I find that they go (best to worst) Kisto (big gap) AV5103 Kinos Exotik ( gap) USC. The Kairn I would treat separately as the presen...

Re: LP12 Radikal problem

Strangely I did just this tonight - I placed the LP12 in the jig to break it down and, before doing so, wondered what it might sound like. It is very harsh- quite 'CD' like - in a way that CD can sound when very hard. It's not a relaxing listen! I'm thinking that the progression of the LP12 is actua...

Re: Linn Unidisk SC

Mine is not Dynamik. As far as I'm aware there was only one major change during the production life and that was to add HDMI capability.Mine is hDMI. If I recall I think there were also several software updates - and at least one of these was targeted at disc readability,
