Just replaced my Afromosia plinth with a Movingui plinth, made by Chris. It is a very well made product, and the finish is essentially perfect. While it can be difficult to describe how a product sounds, the first area of sonic improvement was voices. Basically voices are more human sounding and ly...

Using a set of passive Linn Isobarik speakers, from the ninties and still enjoy their performance. Ultimatley, it's the Sondek turntable that keeps me happy with the Isobariks. As I upgrade the turntable, the speakers continue to sound better. However, the power amplifier being used seems to be a g...

Linn Isobarik DMS speakers, Perreaux 350P amplifier with Elrod Power Systems A.C. power cord (EPS 3 std.), one meter length of Nordost Heimdall speaker cables. http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k542/sarahk327/100_1494.jpg http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k542/sarahk327/100_1654.jpg http://i1115...

Linn Sondek Turntable: Chris Harban Movingui plinth, Trampolin II, Cirkus bearing system, Keel, Akurate Radikal, Ekos II, Akiva moving coil cartridge and Linto. A new Linn Dynamik power supply has been orderd for the Radikal, and a Linn Urika phono preamplifier will be installed at the same time. ht...

This is my first attempt at posting pictures of my system. These pictures don't reflect the current changes and upgrades being conducted 8) .

There have been some comments from various individuals regarding how the new Dynamik power supply sounds in the Akurate Radikal. The term was "gobsmacking :!: "

I'm guessing that's a positive statement :?: Although I'm not really sure how to quantify that statement 8) .

So far Linn is saying that there will not be a metalwork swap available for the Radikal or Uphorik. While I think it should be physically possible to make this change to the Radikal and Uphorik I certainly don't think it would be worth it from a musical point of view even if Linn did offer it. Ther...

Thanks Tony. I was essentially trying to understand which of the two upgrades in isolation makes the most musical difference, i.e. Pre-Cirkus LP12 fitted with Radikal vs Cirkus LP12 fitted with Lingo. But still interesting to read you think the Radikal was the bigger upgrade although you already ha...

Recently bumped into Ivor in the pub and asked him what he thought of his former employees venture ..let's just say he wasn't too impressed with their business plan,it'll be interesting to see if they do get their products out in the summer. It's at a price point where Linn have no interest in as i...

I've been hearing talk regarding a newer version of the Linn Akiva moving coil cartridge. Although many people thought a newer cartridge by Linn would make sense, (especially with all the changes and upgrades to the Sondek and phono preamplifiers)...nothing official has been released by Linn up to t...

I would like to compare some of the Lindemann components with some of the Linn components. It could be a very interesting learning experience overall :D .

A little more info here. Seems like it's the end of the summer rather than march though. http://www.whathifi.com/news/video-report-simple-audio-multiroom-system-takes-on-sonos [/url] Certainly looks interesting 8) . It might cost around $1,000.00 in the United States market. But in any case, I'll s...

Thanks for the information ThomasOK, with all the Linn changes and upgrades recently it does help to have some idea of what to expect .

Has there been any official report by Linn regarding the new Akurate Radikal case being available for the original Akurate Radikal, or the new Akurate Uphorik case being available for the original Akurate Uphorik, as an upgrade option :?: The new Akurate Kontrol case can not be fitted to the origina...

There is a fuse in the Dynamik.

Is it removeable? Has anybody tried?

I don't know currently, but will find out when the Dynamik is installed in my Radikal... 8) .

Quite odd this delay between the Klimax Radikal getting the new PSU and Akurate Radikal. Linn confirmed November last year, so why take 4 months to introduce it into the Akurate? Do you think they wanted to sell off already constructed ARs with the old chassis? Or maybe ensure recent Klilmax Radika...

No, a nice problem. I was quite surprised how much better the Urika is to the Linto. Enjoy! That's what I've been told by many people Charlie1, and they also tell me the Urika sounds better than using two Linn Lintos' as well. In any case, I am excited to get these upgrades :!: And my girlfriend is...

Would be great to know what you think of the upgrade Tony :) I heard the bass keeps in time better, but that's just one person's first impression. Hello Charlie1, this will be a very interesting experience. Based on previous power supply upgrades, I have some idea of what to expect...but on the oth...

All the information about the new Radikal Dynamik does make sense ThomasOK. There is no doubt about Linn always making new discoveries, especially in recent years :!: And it sounds like there is a new Dynamik on order for my Radikal, which is very cool 8) . All I can say is, thanks-a-million ThomasO...

Well said ThomasOK...and I agree with your statement 100% 8)

Tony: Considering the small difference in the past between the Klimax and Akurate Radikal, I think there is no real need to replace the case. The power supply is likely to have a much bigger impact. I couldn't have said it better myself. :D I am currently awaiting a call back form my Linn rep for f...

The new units in the latest Akurate style cases and the Dynamik power supply are supposed to start shipping this week. I imagine that the upgrades should be available quite soon as well. The public announcement is March 24th so all should be revealed at that time. Photos will also be available at t...
