At the back of the latest version, Kikkin 2.2, it says only 'Kikkin 2'. But beside the serial number, there are two golden dots.

Aktiv 109's are really nice. Good enough to show the qualities of any source, in my opinion.

I suspect that will work. And that the Majik CD will sound a LOT better.

Yes. This is what the manual says: "Please note that Kikkin inverts the phase to your power amplifier. Therefore connect the positive output (red) of the power amplifier to the negative (black) loudspeaker terminal, and the negative output to the positive loudspeaker terminal." This inversion can be...

Hi Irri and welcome here! Kikkin always inverts absolute phase and therefore the phase should be corrected between power amps and speakers. Just like in the old days with Linn Kairn and LK1. When using aktiv speakers with built in power amps, it can be difficult to correct the phase. In my opinion, ...

Well, after a long wait, caused by confusion at the North American distributor, I finally received my new Akurate Radikal with Dynamik power supply. And to start of with all I can say is WOW! I have listened to it today and the only thing I can add is YES! No Urika connected, just original Radikal ...

Come on, Fredrik! You brought it out on a public forum so you know I can't let you get away with this! Sorry for my late reply to this. You probably thought you'd get away with your violent MC-assault. Not so. And that excuse about low cost per hour of playback just doesn't cut it. I believe that y...

Thanks for reminding me, Tony. I've been too busy with electronics to do anything about this, although I'm still curious.

When I release a Lejonklou speaker cable, I will certainly perform these tests before release. And then offer it in one optimal length only. *grin*

Komri is the winner. Congratulations!

This wasn't a prize competition, but I can see the interest in such an event.
I'll see what I can come up with, stay tuned!

Only 8 to go until we hit message number 10 000.

Who's going to post on the lucky number?

I can imagine that! As I've decided to try ( after all, it depends on how costly future upgrades will be) keeping my LP12 in top spec apart from using an Adikt, I will probably go down the Radikal/D and new Mogami T kable road. Quite excited to hear what those two will do. For a couple of weeks in M...

Cool!

And how does it sound?

Great work, Axel!

But why do Linn make xlr version T.kable then? I don't know... Maybe it was their first tonearm cable with the Mogami - and later they decided to make an RCA version? Does this mean it is possible to make balanced interconnects with rca connectors, why hasn't this been done in the first place? For ...

Efraim, I believe the only difference between the XLR T kable and the new Mogami RCA T kable is the connectors. The wiring scheme is supposedly the same. So, is XLR a better connector than RCA? And is the particular XLR model they use on this cable better than the RCA model? I don't know the answer,...

Please try that, Paolo, but I'm not convinced it will be a winner. The thing about the new T kable is that I believe the screen isn't part of the signal, only the inner conductors are. As such, it's a pseudo balanced connection, carrying an unbalanced signal. If you make a balanced IC out of it, the...

Interesting about the Mogami, Thomas. This must be the first time ever that Linn releases a cable with the original manufacturer's name on it - instead of simply ordering the same cable with a LINN ANALOGUE printing on it. I am quite surprised by this. I tried some Mogami cables in the past, but non...

Try it!

No need to go back and forth, I think you'll be able to tell just by using them normally, as you know your system well and haven't made any recent drastical changes.

Sounds expensive!

Ha ha! I was utterly confused at first. Toe in?

Thanks for the report, hcl! I haven't done anything similar to this, just moved around switches and NAS'es on different supports and tried arranging cables in various ways. All made tiny but clear differences. In summary well worth the effort. I suspect you've already noticed how some cables prefer ...

Disagreement noted! I agree the main use is to clarify that the writer was joking. But :) or ;) works just as well in this case and in my opinion, they are actually better than the yellow faces. Why? Due to the character combinations being more of a representation, and less of an actual face. I thin...

Sorry, Salty. It was posted on the 31st of March.

After some consideration and discussion, we have decided to remove all smileys from the forum. The reason for this is that they carry no information and don't enhance the quality of messages in any other way than adding colour.
