Hi-end phono interconnects/KDSM/2 advice

Hi I am considering a pair of hi-end phono interconnects to go between my Tron Ultimate Phonostage (currently I have Linn Silvers). These will then go into my Klimax DSM/2 however they will go into the XLR to phono adaptors that came with the KDSM/2. Can anyone tell me if the XLR/Phono adaptors woul...

Re: Possibly time to move on from Akurate 242's but to what?

If you have a lot of glass and henceforth a fairly live sounding room then I totally understand why you're thinking of changing the speakers. For what it's worth the famed DJ, musician and record producer Mark Ronson has just purchased a pair of totem acoustic tribe tower loudspeakers. He was so im...

Re: Possibly time to move on from Akurate 242's but to what?

I have some great feeback & advice though I think I will probably stick with the Akutare 242's for the time being looking back over the last few months I have replaced a KRDS/1 & KK/1 with a KDSM Katalyst,an Akiva with a Kandid on my Lp12 as well as buying a fully rebuilt CTC Garrard 301 (with an ov...

Re: Possibly time to move on from Akurate 242's but to what?

Many good advices in this post. If I can elaborate.... Source first rules = I suggest you get a "Harmonihyllan" rack, a good NAS and optimise the digital network (switch, ethernet cables etc. Then tune everything. And...242 will never produce proper bass. You need bigger speakers for that. (owned 2...

Re: Possibly time to move on from Akurate 242's but to what?

I know that this would not solve the issues you describe with your turntable, but for the digital side of your system I would recommend a listen to a combination of an Innuos Zenith Music Server with an Aqua La Voce DAC. You would obviously need a pre-amp in this situation. Keeping the KDSM is an op...

Re: The Linn forum is officially dead

It is certainly what makes the most sense. The topica Linn list that Fredrik used to run was a popular forum with a lot of worthwhile content. It died within months of Linn creating their own forum as the Linn forum was easier to use and visually a lot better plus, of course, it was official. So no...

Re: The Linn forum is officially dead

I think it would be an ideal time for an "Unofficial Linn Forum" to be put together by ex Linn forum members replicating the old Linn forums but with more freedom & even a classfieds section for Linn products !.. Its a good idea, but who is going to moderate it? I am sure there would be enough Ex L...
