11 € shipped with tracking mail from Japan (less than other EU countries)!

I guess there will be some custom charges though

You could do a lot worse than this one: https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/1936048079
Seller contacted; not sure he ships to Italy.

BTW, thanks!

Re: Acquiring early pressings.?

Can someone suggest me a decent version (also recent or mono) of the first two Doors' albums that doesn't cost like a car?

Thanks

Re: Boazu and speakers

Picked up some Keilidhs to try in the office at the weekend. These are the later gen version. They are just so amenable and I forget they exist so there's music in the room but not from them. They really do just get on with the job in a rewarding fashion. I guess they were just a very well integrat...

Re: Acquiring early pressings.?

I have the 2018 RE of LZ I, II, and Presence; they are decent.

Unfortunately, nowadays early pressings are crazily overpriced
IMHO.

Re: Giella ∏ headphone amplifier

Along with the greatly improved ability to drive headphones with very difficult loads, the Giella ∏ is musically significantly better both as a preamp and driving more forgiving headphones, such as the Grado SR125. The power supply regulation is much improved and this improves all aspects of perfor...

Re: ADSM to Kikkin

No

With the extinct direct function you could use the ADC with analogue inputs;

Now the ADC was removed and you couldn’t

Re: ADSM to Kikkin

According again to Linn: " The “Minimal” feature can be found in Konfig within “Sources” and relates to the analogue and digital connections of the DSM. You have understood correctly in that the digitization of sources cannot be bypassed and it only the Digital Volume Control that can be bypassed "....

Re: Giella ∏ headphone amplifier

I never heard both the Giella and the Giella pi. I'm slowly recovering from a recent knee surgery (nothing serious), after a fall while skiing last winter. So I had a lot of spare time in the last 3 weeks and, on my recovery bed, I recently read every thread and post involving the Giella's. I unders...

Re: ADSM to Kikkin

What is "minimal"? In my understanding combined ADC/DAC only without further processing like DVC. Uhm Linn testually said that " From the integration of Exakt, the analogue volume control and "Direct" function were removed (...) ". And where is this "minimal" function in the Konfig menù? M.

Re: ADSM to Kikkin

Second attempt to resurrect this interesting thread. We all know that the Kikkin and the Giella have only one input and that the ADSM could be set to fixed volume and act as a multiple-source (phono amp, dac, and streamer). However, in the last version of the ADSM (3 / Katalyst) the “direct” functio...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

Thank you for the report, Fred11! I don’t find it strange that you prefer Boazu and Jern to Kikkin 1 and JBL 308. Kikkin 1 simply isn’t even close to the preamp in Boazu and I think that determines the outcome, regardless of which is the better speaker. I recently got a Kikkin 1 back and compared i...

Re: Hacking Linn IW10 in-wall speakers..

Interesting

I can see that the speakers are driven in aktiv (M6100?).

The IW10 are now discontinued and the only Linn in-wall speakers are now the 104/106c, that can also be driven in aktiv (but I wonder how, with a single wire connectors …)
