So is the Longwell form a different vendor than Volex with different plugs? That makes it even more interesting. I thought Pedro was just talking about another Volex with yet a different wire supplier, not a whole different cable supplier. It will indeed be interesting to listen to these when they ...

Thanks for the informationThomasOK. A friend of mine has the Thorens TD124, and wanted to know what can be done to improve its sonic performance. Other than proper deck adjustment, good tonearm and cartridge selection...it can't be upgraded too much - eh? Other than making sure the idler and belt a...

Yay, good old Briks. Good old (or not so old in this case) LP12. Good old Sound Org table too. Sometimes equipment positioning can be a compromise between best sound and domestic acceptability. Have you ever tried - even as a brief experiment - moving your LP12 to the opposite corner of the room to...

It's been a few weeks since the Dynamik was installed, and the performance has improved a bit...perhaps completely burned in now. And with the Urika, my system is finally at a point where all I do is listen. No thinking about upgrades, no thinking about what to do next...just enjoying the sonic perf...

Now before people assume I was being unfair comparing the 40ish year old TD124 to a tricked out new LP12 I should probably mention that it was a stock Majik LP12 used in this comparison (our LP12 SE is still awaiting a Radikal/1 from Linn). So the cartridge on the Thorens sells for about half of th...

When I walked home from Fredrik's place I kept thinking about my own Lingo-LP12. It is time to do something about it and start playing real records. DS is not as sexy and clearly inferior. Jacob Although there are some very good aspects to digital stereo components, turntables have always been bett...

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 ...

I have listened to it today and the only thing I can add is YES! No Urika connected, just original Radikal against a new one. An absolutely wonderful comparison, and I simply can't get into my head how a power supply for a unit that drives a DC motor (stuffed in foam and driving the platter with a ...

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* Sounds good, I'll be very cur...

Maybe the MK just wasn't selling enough following the release of the Majik-I That is a good point. Also, perhaps Linn is only interested in having two dedicated stereo preamplifiers in their product line. However, with their current rate of product design changes...most anything could happen in the...

The common belief is that the MK and AK had the same electronics and only the PSU differed. Therefore, if they both got a Dynamik PSU then they might sound the same. But this was prior to the latest AK version, so there is now more of an opening for the MK to return. Most interesting indeed. If Lin...

MK with Dynamik - that would be a good value pre-amp. People still miss this from the product line and are often asking it, especially with the much higher cost of the AK. Has there been an explanation from Linn why the Majik Kontrol was dropped from their product line? Plus, is there any indicatio...

Thanks... :D I´l have to ask Fredrik about that!!! :-) Recently he has taken so very good care of my LP12 with a new Akiva, so I´m very happy with him (as always -a real treasure for me to have him located in my town). And long time since a post here, but I have been occupied playing and enyoying m...
