results... from activ 4200s to chakra twin passive...clearly evident the twin is a far superior amp. i am missing the activ sound, especially on the 3k array...highs seem a bit stronger, not as lush or effortless. But, bass is amazing...strong, fast, tight. all other things were kept the same during...

thx for posting your findings...great info.. Ive since changed direction a bit and bough a klimax chakra twin to replace the 2 C4200s...picked one up from a dealer for the same price as im selling one of my 4200s for...so money in the bank is always good. Amp should arrive this weekend and i will be...

i dont mean to be argumentative, but where is it that Linn says this about smaller, lesser amps? your example with the katans poses another question...which source,pre were you using. Does a better source make your example stronger or weaker? Im wondering if a pr of solos with a klimax kontrol will ...

activ vs. passive
currently have 212s activ with 2 4200s...my ultimate goal would be activ solos then upgrade speakers... So,
would 1 pr of solos outperform, tunedem, activ 4200s with 212s?

klimax filters
has anyone upgraded from traditional activ cards inside amp to using klimax filters or tuneboxes (not sure of exact term) if so what were results? They are available for akurate speakers, but are a bunch of money...curious as to the "bang for your buck" as we say on this side of the river..thx

lejonklou, i have no complaints at all of the vpi...but for only 20 lps..this may not be worth it. im sure some local dealers/shops offer cleaning services for x amount per side/album for example. as for the vi, i will say ive bought albums in real bad shape, dirty, dusty, moldy...almost unplayable,...

record cleaners
Ive had great success with VPI 16.5..while its not their top end unit (17.5 as used by Library of Congress) it does a great job for me...i too love to buy used records online and in flea markets, then clean them up real well with the VPI. a kit with cleaning fluid, brushes etc costs 500 bucks..can b...

well, i went ahead and placed an order for keel..the flordia distributor has them in stock, so install should be complete by a week from tomorrow. not sure if i can get trampolin installed in that time. if not i will wait for a bit. also may be able to take home and demo 221 to go with my 212s. i kn...

Ive a few ?'s regarding Keel. I've been thinking real hard lately about a keel and plan to have a demo next week. I called my former dealer just to see if they had one on display, which they dont, however he said he can get it in 7 days. Is that lead time correct or is it taking much longer? Frederi...

Frederik wrote, "There is also sometimes one optimal position and one suboptimal - almost but not quite as good, and usually far away from the optimal one" Couldnt agree more! with my 212s, I actuall found ideal location to be 35cm, however a "close" secondary location was close to 85cm!!! Im sure t...
i must admit ive struggled with this method, but recently playing with speaker placement, it did just snap into place...so now i get it. So heres my question...im currently auditioning a pr of interconnects (non linn in all linn system...brand not important). While they are still breaking in..only a...

Akiva replacement
Hypothetical (somewhat). i struggle with the idea of a 3600 dollar piece wearing out and having to be replaced. i know linn ofers trade in, and others offer retipping, but for arguments sake, what if i sold my akiva, its only got about 600 hrs on it < 1 yr old. if i get 1500-2000usd, i would use the...

Internet buzz for OPPO disc players
there seems to be a HUGE amount of positive feedback regarding this product. they make universal players, 3 models i believe, the 970, 971, and 981 (im not positive of these#s). evidently the 970 performs the best of the 3 regarding audio playback. the killer is these go for less than 200usd!!!! cra...
