The relevant comparison is CD ripping vs 16b/44k download. I know that you have FLAC files of Linnrecord songs both ripped on your computer and other (Linnrecord) songs ripped on another computer. So what is stopping you from downloading individual songs and testing this today? :P It' only €1,5 for...

I NEVER play a CD at home if I have the LP of the music. Once in a while I listen to some music in my home office off the computer but I really don't find it very satisfying. I also bought a Squeezebox Duet just to get my feet wet with the digital streaming stuff and to try out internet radio but I...

Have you compared the Akurate with Klimax DS - If so, is there a great difference there too? Yes, unfortunately... :( The Klimax DS is a lot better than the Akurate DS, maybe as the step from Sneaky DS to Akurate DS?

The Akurate did sound somewhat more controlled but it certainly wasn't as much fun, and it was easier to follow the music on the Sneaky DS. ... I think I see a Majik DS in my near future. I also agree with your findings. I like the Sneaky DS more than the Akurate CD, the music is clearly better on ...

Now Charlie, just waving some £250 wand isn't any good.

Espek vs. Majik 140

The in wall Komponents mentioned above seem to have some real timing advantages over the Espeks B. Assuming that's down in part to the 2k array, would Majik 140's be a signifi...

I can confirm that the new SW sounds great on a Sneaky DS to!

Incredible value for money with this little DS player! I would be even more ...

Are you saying that the Majik LP12 was a little better than an old Cirkus-(external) Valhalla-Akito 2 but clearly worse than an old Cirkus-Lingo 2-Akito 2? Yes, clearly better. But obviously not as big as Valhalla => Lingo 2. But maybe a fifth of that difference? (Very hard to put numbers on musica...

I just listened to the new Majik LP12 at my dealer. At first I thought it was a bit of a dissapointment, mostly because I'm used to higher spec LP12's both at home and at my dealer. But after a couple of tracks I realized it wasn't bad at all. It had a slightly soft and laid back sound compared to w...

Re: Thank you!
From your responses, it sounds like its pre-amp section might be close enough to that of the Majik Kontrol, Unidisk SC, Exotik, and 5103 that I can just look for whatever's the best deal at time of purchase (i.e., perhaps a new Majik-I would sound about as good as a used Majik Kontrol, Exotik, 5103...

Hi Charlie! Great to hear that you have been succesful in all your "mods" and getting the AKG's. I have also tried the HD650's and they where not at all as tuneful as the AKG´s.

My first gut reaction was to put down an order for me to. I already have one, but on such a record you would want a spare. It's just the best classical record I have ever heard!
