Does anyone have any information about Linn's implementation of the RS232 control protocol between DS players and preamps? I'm particularly keen to understand what changes between different preamps, and thus the need to select your preamp in Konfig. Also, is there anything specific which would preve...

Glad to hear that you like it. Hopefully the DS for exploring new music and background while you're working, combined with your main LP12 system for more serious listening sessions will really give you the best of both worlds.

Does anyone have a spare stereo aktiv card cable?

Similar to one of those in the attached image (don't mind if long or short)
Thanks!

Is this a simple "plug and play" option for an Exotik+DA? Is there any config needed in the menus etc.?

This would make my Exotik+DA/Dyn identical (other than the label on the outside of the box) to a late model AK/0, wouldn't it?

One other comment I'd make in terms of physical setup is that since the Sneaky (and Renews) don't even have a display, there's really no need to have them visible, which can help with acceptability for the rest of the family, who only see the speakers.

If you're on Windows, I'd recommend dBPowerAmp for ripping, and personally I prefer ripping to FLAC in order to embed the metadata (and since I can't hear the difference).

Are you using MinimServer?

Hi Charlie. Sounds like it's working quite well as a second system. With the things you've ripped to your local drive, how is that being done: 1 - Ripping software 2 - Rip format (FLAC, WAV etc.) 3 - Server software On the last point: Shame it can’t be connected to the TV. Sounds like you really nee...

Thanks CJ - that's really useful information.

Now to get a price for the digital control board...

I had hoped recently to get hold of a KK with a broken display, but that deal fell through as the owner decided that he did want to repair it and keep it. However, I spotted on eBay the main circuit board from a KK/0, and bid on it on a bit of a whim really. I've now won it, and I figured that I'd t...

Good point Spannko! I listen to BBC 6Music more than any other station, and that's DAB or online only.

I may have an opportunity to get a KK with a damaged front panel, which has no functioning buttons or screen. Obviously, I can send this off to get a repair, but given that all of my kit is out of sight in a rack behind the sofa, controlled by RS232, I'm wondering if there's any need to do so initia...

For anyone curious, my current system is Linn Akubarik passive, Lejonklou Tundra mono plus Linn 2250 for the Iso-Bass, Oppo DVD, Transparent PowerBank 8, Linn interconnects and speaker wire, and Wavelength Crimson USB DAC. Out of interest, how do you handle the 8dB gain offset between the Tundra an...

My experience was that each step of the process inproveed the musicality of the Exakt 242s I heard, but the biggest step was going from default filter values to the ones the dealer (Ian Ridge in this case) had worked out through a few hours of painstaking tunedem trial and error.

A friend of mine, who's into cycling not hifi, once said that his greatest fear was that he would die and his wife would sell his bikes for what he'd told her they had cost!

No comment CJ....

:-)

Just wanted to say that this KRDS/1 is now sat in my rack at home and is a great upgrade from the old KRDS/0. It's much more musical as well as being a very subtle upgrade as it looks identical to the old one! Very smooth and easy transaction with Kona too. Good comms, and he even flew over in perso...

Sounds like an interesting visit. By the way, you've said "Sagatun Monos" and "Sagatun" but not mentioned a power amp. Do you mean Sagatuns Monos and Tundra Stereo?

Mostly local, but that's primarily because my internet connection can't reliably sustain a YouTube video! Thanks Rowland. Can you not get Infinity yet? I wish! Current status of a fibre connection to my exchange is "There is currently no 21CN migration date for your PSTN service" :( On ML's earlier...

I also often send things from my iPhone via AirPlay for stuff the kids want to hear etc. which is surprisingly good.

I have to say that I really enjoy my second system (Sneaky, Majik 2100/D, Majik 109s) and probably spend more time listening to music on it than my main system, even though the main system is much, much better. The reason is simply how I use both systems, and the fact that the second system is used ...

I'm 99% sure there was a similar restriction with the RDS/0, although I can't remember which version it was.

I'm with Charlie. I like the author info on the right, as I normally read the text of the discussion first.

Sorry Matthias, I wouldn't want it in line above the comments, as it just interrupts the flow of the discussion there.

Software is different as there's no display on the Renew.

Personally, I like the change. No need to "pinch zoom", just double tap the text with your thumb and it goes to full width, so easy with one hand but still lets you see everything if you want to.

Looks like you have to tick the "Email" box as well as the "Notification" box for "New PM" in the User Control panel (direct link here): http://www.lejonklou.com/forum/ucp.php?i=ucp_notifications&mode=notification_options This appears to be a default which has changed since the old board.
