Hi Fredrik, It would be much easier if we could include a photo or two here, rather than setup the photo's elsewhere. What do you think? Rgds, Charlie.

Linn 'Black' Analogue Interconnect (1.2m long) Linn Product Description This cable is derived from the low capacitance polystyrene dielectric cable used originally to carry the signal from a turntable and cartridge to a pre-amplifier. This ‘phono’ signal is probably the most demanding of all signal...

Go for it rowlandhills! It will be interesting to hear how you get on. This link contains my first attempts with very useful advice from other members, so it may be worth a quick look even though I was using Ninka's:

With the recent topic on mains cables, I wondered, has anyone Tune Dem'd different RJ-45 cables for connection between the DS and PC? There are many variations (UTP, STP, ScTP etc), but perhaps it's not relavent to this type of connection in the way it is to other interconnects :?

Cheers Thomas. I thought I was pushing it a bit by commenting on LP12 setup! I think I'll leave it to the experts in future :)

Hi Ceilidh, I think the above post will be really useful to people who are new to Tune Dem and need some encouragement. It can be hard work at times, especially repeatedly moving heavy speakers, but the end result is worth it. the systems sort of "disappeared", and what remained was music very well ...

Hi Mike. I'm no LP12 setup expert and I hope I haven't misunderstood you, but I'll have a go. I presume the pressure across the three springs is unequal, because the weight of the sub-chassis and arm is not distributed evenly across the centre of gravity (i.e. centre point of the 3 springs). Therefo...

Hi Thomas. I'm sure I speak for everyone in thanking you for reporting back all your efforts with this! All my cables are UK Baohing, so depending on price, I may invest in something a bit better. Just out of curiosity, have you ever tried the Naim-style Hydra connector as per danny's setup? I've se...

Hi Eric. Not sure if the UK prices are mirrored in the States, but if so, then I think the exchange rate is approximately 2 dollars to the pound. As for a pre amp, perhaps ML can advise you on older Linn products, but there is obviously the current Majik Kontrol to match the Majik 4100 (or Chakra 41...

Hi Eric, I don't know if it would be within budget, but have you considered a 2nd hand Majik 4100 instead of 5125? In fact if you go for an older unit (previously called Chakra 4100), it would be even cheaper. If you're in the UK, then a Chakra 4100 would be around £900+ on eBay or £1,200+ from a de...

Wow - didn't see that coming! :shock: Thanks for heads up Thomas. I agree that an LP12 of that level would not really be in the Majik performance bracket, but I suppose the 'source first' theory means it's OK to have a much better front end. I'm really surprised by this, but thinking about it, it co...

Hi John. I've purchased three new different Linn products within the last 12 months (in the UK), and they all have the same mains kettle lead. Sorry none of them was a KK. The leads are all marked with the following white text: "H05VV-F 3G0.75mm2 <VDE> KEMA-KEUR +S+S+S <OVE> CEBEC IEMMEQU SABS 1574 ...

Hi Chris. Good to hear your take on some Linn favorites. I doubt I'll ever get the chance to hear Isobariks, especially at their best, but you never know I suppose :( . Welcome to the forum by the way. Rgds, Charlie.

Hi blom, sounds like you're on top of things and my concerns were unfounded. Good luck and I hope you and your dealer can come to a compromise over price. Let us know how things play out in the end.

I'd buy a Kliminto any day, or even a Klinto - 'Make my tune ...Punk!'

I don't think either of us should give up the day job just yet :)

So I basically need a Klimax Linto on normal Kontrol (KLONK)? :roll: sorry Thomas - I couldn't resist having a go too...

Hi Pediatrik, sorry I forgot to reply to you re the Linto on ebay. I had seen it, but unfortunately all my kit is silver, so I'm only looking for a silver one - which makes them it harder to find. I'll get there though. Hi Leo, I didn't realise that. I just presumed it would be a cleaner signal, but...

Doh! Well spotted though.

Sorry blom - I'm like a dog with a bone with this! Surely a used Chakra Twin and used 212s would not leave you any funds after selling your 242s and 5100?! In the UK, a good pair of 242s sell for approx £3,500 - £4,000. A fairly new Majik 5100 would get around £1,200. Let say you get £5,000. I don't...

Thanks Thomas for all the feedback - really useful. A Linto is the way to go it seems. I'm glad forum members think it's worth the investment as it would also finish off my LP12 upgrades :) And I better get saving for that Klimax Kontrol. In fact, I think I need a new job more than anything, but kee...

Hi fgarciab, I'm fairly new here too. I'd heard of the Tune Method beforehand, but only in a negative way on other forums. Anyway, I read about it here and decided to give it a go. It's really made a big difference - my system is singing along much better now. However, what might interest you is tha...

Hi Mikael. Do you have a spare pair of 212s knocking about then? Because if not, then the math doesn't add up to me. I know the 212s are a fair amount cheaper than 242s, but the Chakra Twin would gobble up the difference, so I don't see how you will raise funds for a source upgrade :?

Thanks Fredrik.

Thanks Azazello and ML, I think I will wait and see if a second hand one comes on the market and put the rest towards a Klimax Kontrol in the very distant future. Unfortunately, used Linto's are few and far between. Of course, if Linn were to ever release a Klimax Linto, then it would be a different...

Hi Leo, It's on top of an Isoblue rack http://www.isobluehifi.com/mainmenu.html (The bottom shelf does have spikes, but you can't see them on the photo). Mine is made from solid ash and quite heavy which is why I use the Trampolin2. Out of interest, I Tune Dem'd it against an Ikea table and the Isob...
