Third party controller software for Linn DS

I have been using Bubble DS to operate my various Linn DS boxes since 2012, but having just acquired a new tablet, I find this is no longer downloadable from Android store. Obviously I can get Bubble DS Next with adverts and I can pay for a licence it seems, though I am loathe to want to do this hav...

Streaming flac quality internet radio via KRDS

Over the past few weeks I have been experimenting with internet radio stations, and have also purchased a real bargain small internet radio player for the kitchen. Of all the stations, Radio Paradise stands head and shoulders above the rest for me for it's variety, quality and lack of adverts. I hav...

Re: Does anyone listen to Linn Radio?

Thanks everyone. I've taken all those on board, and I can say goodbye to Linn Radio as well as Radio Vaughan Williams and Radio Led Zeppelin. Shame that P2 doesn't show tags. Do you know of a good progressive rock station? I have listened to Morow, which plays good music but only @ 128kbps. Acceptab...

Re: Does anyone listen to Linn Radio?

Couldn't agree more Peter - my own take on this and why I turned off Linn Jazz in particular is that it had become Radio Claire Martin . . . I know where you're coming from, though surprisingly I've not heard a single Claire Martin since buying the radio last weekend. Just now they managed a whole ...

Does anyone listen to Linn Radio?

I have been listening to Linn Radio sparingly for the last 6 years or so since I bought my first streamer. I have always liked the mix of classical, jazz and Celtic on the channel, never knowing what is coming next. However now I have bought an internet radio, I can listen to this channel in the kit...

There are regular deals to reduce Ebay fees, but not Paypal fees. The only deals ive seen is free listing, which is minimal. They still take 10% selling fees, up to the £2500 threshold. Do you know of better deals? Every so often they do a 'Maximum final value fee' promotion, sometimes as low as £1...

Re: Amplification options

I have considered single wiring after the advice, but M140 has a design fault meaning that after removing the middle section of the terminal link strips for bi-wiring, there is no going back to single wiring. However, Linn is sending me replacement strips so when they arrive, I'll give it a try. Not...

For Sale - Linn Majik-i Integrated Amp Dynamik

Having purchased a Boazu, I am now selling my Majik-i. It is absolutely mint and been used in a smoke free and pet free home and never touched by anyone other than myself since I bought it new. The remote control has never been used as I've always controlled it with a tablet. The amp comes in it's o...

Re: Songs, streaming and all things music.

I have to say that I've never discovered anything new directly from streaming services such as Spotify, though I do use if frequently to 'audition' artists and songs that I have heard of elsewhere, with a view to buying the CD second hand on Amazon, hopefully for a nominal sum. Most new music I have...

Re: A couple of questions about the Boazu

What is the approximate power consumption when switched on but not playing music? This is significant for me, as the position of my amp is such that I would find leaning over the other furniture to switch it on and off tiresome.

As part of my preparation for considering a new amplifier, I'm doing a bit of reading up.From the Boazo installation manual online: "Connect your loudspeakers to the speaker outputs, using a cable terminated with Lejonklou 4 mm safety connectors.

Re: Amplification options

One further point I'd overlooked earlier. Before my Majik-i, I had an Exposure pre and power amp combination which although it gave an excellent sound, produced a background hiss that annoyed me when there was no music playing. The big difference when I acquired the Majik-i was the complete silence ...

Re: Amplification options

Not that I was even considering a source upgrade, but I was always led to believe that a KRDS was not upgradable, and I was happy with that. Any upgrade at the moment therefore would be with the amplification. Even as a relative novice however, it would seem strange to me to consider upgrading a ver...
