Re: New Linn Forum
I heard rumors that Gilad was not amused about some discussions, e.g. Space Optimization, that did make the product (and hence Linn) not look too good. J Feedback on limitations and product suggestions are extremely valuable, making the products better! Rest be sure...you always have unhappy custom...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.
Just arrived back from X-Fi in the Netherlands. Linn were very busy and conducted permanently demos around 20 min, typical tune dem A-A-B, all filled up to the last place. They showed the module with XLR and RCA outputs. In the middle of this module is a small plastic box which contains the DAC, qu...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.
Selekt cannot be seen as a change of market focus or as an abandonment of enthusiast customers.

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.
I said the source was compromised because its pretty well known that a ds is a better source than a dsm. Those are being discontinued, so in that respect these aren't as good as the sources being phased out. Although I see them as part of the same technological/manufacturing trend, the introduction...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.
A lot of raving about the modularity in this thread.
Only me that don't like that?
With modules, a lot of connections and drop of performance.
However, I understand it make sense in an "all-in-all" product adding flexibility.

Personally I'd be very disappointed to learn that they took the forum down to prevent leaking of a product announcement. If this is the reason, they should at least be open about that being the reason and post it as the only item with no replies possible. I'm as stunned as you. Extremely poor custo...

Re: Linn forum down?
My take on this is - "speculation is interesting, but normally people read too much into everything".
We'll just have to wait and see.
Regardless, Linn is making a huge mistake to put the forum on standby and worse, blaming "temporarily offline for essential maintenance".

Re: Where do we go from here?
Well, if I make a more powerful amplifier than Tundra Mono, it will also need to sound better. I understand that some like to play really loud, but louder and less grunty (or musical) won't do. More powerful and better is a challenge. It would be expensive, mainly due to the power supplies. A quadr...

Re: How can I audition Klangedangs in the US?
Together with JBL 3677 is Klangedang the most musical speaker I ever heard. Lejonklou is a retailer so send Fredrik a mail. Info here (use google translate) http://www.klangedang.se You have a number of alternatives regarding filter, stand and finish. Look in the price list. http://www.tonlaget.com/...

Re: New Naim network players
Quick report. Heard the base player (3-4k something with Naim integrated and Neat SX2) and it was quite ok. But without comparing, hard to judge.
For sure not bad but expected as Linn and Naim streamers always perform a good step better than other players.
