Interesting that the 212s were quad wired & yet the Tundra still put in a good showing - I don't think Fredrik is a fan of multi wiring so would have been interesting to know if single wired 212s might've produced a different result, as might re-tune-dem'ing the speaker position for the different po...

Linn amps: Chakra 2200 and AV5105 (silver)

Chakra 2200 (RCA) in silver - asking $1750 + shipping in original box. This amp dates from mid 2005 and was bought ex-dem in early '09 - serial # 1028119. In decent condition cosmetically - clean front, but some scratches to the top towards the rear not visible when on a shelf. Photos available on r...

I have been using it since early on. V12 or longer. It was not until v17 and only with W7 that it is noteworthy. The way W7 handles audio is different than XP. I always used Twonky or Asset before. No difference in those sound wise. I did not take any questions as a slight. Hope I did not come acro...

I'm not making it complex, nor do I not believe you - I'm just wondering what might be going on in jRiver such that it improves the sound...

Have you heard the same results on XP? (I don't run Win7)

Curious what's going on when jRiver is 'set to deliver 24 bit to the DS' that it'd sound better even with 16-bit source material. Clearly jRiver can't deliver any additional data as all it has to process is the original resolution... I wonder if this could be something in the DS processing similar t...

Tundra - clearly better than my 4200 which has had the benefit of Thomas' tuning tweaks. As Per A said, the Tundra just brings out details and great sound, with apparent ease... so much more going on, and all in tune, time, & control. I don't want to give the Tundra back. Now to the down side, and i...

... The reason Fredrik, anthony and others are moving away from bi-wiring to single wiring is that they have found that single wiring is more coherent and focused - the results just seem to be more musical. Bi-wiring appears to give a bigger, more "detailed" and more H-Fi sound but at the expense o...

Interesting & exciting to read the positive results, especially for 'Tundra Mono' just "using one channel of each". Were any listening tests done with bi-amped Tundras, either using the two channels of each Tundra for left & right speakers separately, or for stereo treble & bass? Maybe too early to ...

Interesting. Do Tundra amps have line out for daisy-chain bi-amping, or are they intended to be used 'more strictly' stereo, single wired?

I've followed the thread with interest & would love to hear a Tundra... maybe next time I'm in Ann Arbor :) I was curious about the previously mentioned idea of setting a Linn preamp to +8dB out to Tundra, in a mixed Linn/Lejonklou amped system, to maintain levels across channels... This started me ...
