I also got the mail even though I am not in any beta testing program. There seem to have been other measures. Maybe how long you are a member of the Linn Forum or how many posts you did. I think my posts have not been always in favour for Linn and again now I have the feeling LINN is like a complica...

NAS and switch should be fed from a separate distribution block. This block should be plugged into the wall fairly close to the block for the HiFi. Sometimes it sounds best when they share the same wall outlet, other times it can be better if they get separate outlets that are fairly close physical...

I also like the 4.63.223 the most but couldnt try the 4.53.125 for my ADS/1 as it was not officially available (only 4.54.135)

I have no LINN dealer closer than 200km away so whenever I decided to buy a Linn product (2 times in my life) it was not because a dealer was really "selling" it to me. Nor did I got any help from the dealer when I had to set up the product. I bought because I got my information out of the Linn Foru...

this company is on a strange move - in my opinion its not a lot respect to some really enthusiastic people who fixed problems for them when some of the dealers didnt want to or couldnt or have been not available.

thank you to a lot of people who contributed a lot in the Linn forum

o.k. to create even more confusion :) for me a system sounds outstanding when I am able to hear/understand the different speeds/timings of the melodies/instruments in a song very well. I mean slowing down play or speeding up play of one instrument independent from the other instruments. For me a sys...

thank you very much its a pitty - I think that would be a nice strategy for Linn to get more loudspeakers into the list and at the same time make a benefit for more and more customers to get more out of their Linn systems. Even groups of people with the same loudspeakerscould share the costs for the...

unfortunately you are living in a too far away country as I am from Germany. Do you know if there are dealers in Germany which can offer the same service?

cheers

ADS 0 was the first product which later got the Dynamic power supply upgrade (minor but noticable sound quality improvement) ADS/1 got new casing and new board layout (especially clock changes and changes in the output stage or DAC power supply (that was a good improvement in sound quality) ADS/2 cl...

thats interesting ... is that something which is part of the new developments at Linn and something Linn dealers offer as a service now?

and if yes will the measurements find the way in the „official“ list of measured loudspeakers?

Looks pretty radical to me?

ps. Wow - adding pictures is tons easier than on the Linn forum!!!

Yes looks radical. Linn seems to have a tendency to prefer thinning of the sound for more transparency.
Not my cup of tea. Paul helped me a lot in getting the bass back into my system.

Imagine that: the Akurate DS/3 only had a lifetime of 6 months until its sunset. Even the Klimax DS/3 lifetime was really short (2 years) looking at the impact of the new generation of DAC technology. I agree and feel there will be a moment when a limited time offer goes out to upgrade from DS to DS...

In the lounge, I used an ADSM (set to fixed output) into my KK/1's XLR input and a KDS/1 into the KK/1's RCA input. The ADSM was for AV sound (the lounge system - 350A and a miniDSP fed rear sub - is now mostly used for TV sound) and the KDS/1 for playing tunes. When the ADSM came back as an ADSM/3...

what is interesting to me (when I remember it right) when Paul the Space Commander wrote his conclusions about his last European tour there seemed to be an influence from the speaker where the first and most important mode was to find with SO so this leads me to believe there are more factors/influe...

thank you for reassuring about Katalyst which I believe is a big step forward and I think in the end that and even more SO will keep me with LINN ... but still what LINN does confuses me I am sorry the Linn website shows Selekt but the Forum is still closed for the staged rollout? Linn is just afrai...

Thank you all for contributing with information, thank you especially ThomasOK and thank you for having a home here while Linn has thrown us out. Linn gets more and more suspect to me. I have an Akurate DS/1 now which was supposed to be upgraded to Katalyst ... I am still in the money finding phase ...
