How do your 92 briks differ from the 86 ones? Hello, Charlie1 differences between the 1986 DMS and the 1992 Isobariks... Stands-The stands are the same 4 point square welded steel frame with spikes top and bottom. Only difference being the fabric covered crossover area under the stand of the 1992 se...

I noticed the news picture too and the knob idea is brilliant. Is there a light that shines and refracts through the CZ stone on the end? That appearance and function would look both elegant and expensive. If there is a functional light, does that light also change in colors like my Kikkin and Saaga...

I still recall when I messed around with some amplification awhile back before I started using my first set of briks (1986 vintage). The speakers then were cheap klipsch F3 floor standers but they were very high efficiency and at the time I thought that the tractrix horn sounded very detailed. Overa...

Well after hearing those presentations I can see why you say that beck. BORING sound... I would rather play my Canned Heat records and hear Alan Wilson blowing harp on my Briks than hear that Wilson/Dan sound with that blues. The speakers alone cost more than my entire system. And the second Linn Ex...

Great information, I have the first gen Radikal (Magik) case before it was changed to the Akurate cause. Alteast there are some cosmetic changes to the outside. Would my case have the internal cable holder then as well? I also use another tweak of Tom's and run my radikal upside down on its lid as I...

Hello, as Tom knows I do lurk the forum very often and do occasionally post as well. I had taken advantage of the Ekos SE1/Karousel promotion back in May but had to wait over a month for the order to come together from Linn to build the arm. So like Tom states I had the interesting ability to hear b...

Thanks Hermann, these are the exact instructions that I saw on the other forum. Unfortunately for me, I don't know what the function selector is on the back of the radikal. All I see is a power switch and that push in/out button which I don't know the function of. Is that little push in/out the func...

Hermann and Thomas - did you reset your Radikal after fitting the Karousel? The Radikal seems to have a learning procedure and it might be better to reset it as the learning was done with the Cirkus and the friction behavior of the Karousel should be different. It can do no harm and might give a be...

Hey Charlie1, When was the Kustone added to Briks? It must be inside the cabinet somewhere. My 1986 and 1992 pair looks identical on the outside except for the side panels on the stand and different connectors on the back. Is there a way to tell? Tony, which version of Briks do you have? I also had ...

My experience with my 1992 Briks has taught me that when the speakers can't make it against the back walls go for the side walls. My pair are located just a couple inches from side walls in my room. I found that right up against the walls made the bass overly thick and poorly defined. Just a couple ...

Hi, I am the customer that Tom mentioned with the 2.2 Stereo amp. I started with a 1986 pair of briks and when a pair of 1992 briks came up for sale I pulled the trigger. Like Ron states, the external crossovers are much better and I just run them passive. Positioning them is very important. More in...

So Entity uses a slipsik 7 power supply. Does a switchmode power supply sound better than that transformer style in these phono stages? I am assuming that the enclosure case is what facilitated that decision. Would it be worth it to have a larger case to add such a power supply to improve the sound ...

One other thing I just noticed is the two ground lugs are not marked which one is which. This would probably be mentioned in the manual in the flight case of how to use it. If someone was to mistakenly ground to the chassis case rather than the direct soldered pin ground that would cause a loss of m...

Okay I undersand the reasoning for the chassis ground now and I like how Thomas used the word "inelegant" there which seems very true in this piece of kit. Fortunately, I haven't run into any issues with grounding my LP12 into Slipsik. Atleast no motor hum... When I plug the ground into the Slipsik ...

Wonderful pics of that design. Maybe I am being thick on this but what is the purpose of having two grounding terminals on the case? I see one uses the optimal solution of soldering directly to the milled down pin that the Slipsik 6 on up share. I haven't seen a table with two ground leads. Do you c...

Great finding about the urika MC load. One thing I have always wondered about are those small push in/push out switches on the Radikal box. There are either one or two of these and I have wondered if they affect performance or not. Has anyone tested an optimal setting for these to be in? Maybe it ma...

I agree that Robert Ludwig copies of Zep 2 and 3 are pretty scarce and have high demand but I have found many RL copies of Houses of the Holy on original USA pressings. When I attended record shows years ago in Ann Arbor I would find quite a few usually from Presswell plant (PR) or Richmond, Indiana...

I see a copy of Solitude Standing By Suzanne Vega there in the pile. I played this album the other night the whole time thinking wow this slipsik 7 is revealing a lot more of this recording than I remember. Mine is a USA copy precision stamped DMM copy and could be the best sounding DMM album I have...

I thought this might help to clarify things a little bit. Lejonklou preamps and most more recent Linn analog preamps have unity gain at a setting of 80 out of 100 (first versions of the KK were at 70). Unity gain means there is no amplification and no attenuation - the level that comes in is the le...

Well I spent a day of the weekend swapping between the Slipsik 7 vs the Slipsik 5.1 model and it continues to be very interesting as how these stages really solidify the sound the LP12 makes with the adikt. The model 7 now seems to be outshining the 5.1 on the music that is getting through the audio...

Hey all I figured I would make a post on here since the model 7 is just rolling out and folks such as Fredrik are eager to hear what opinions people have with the new Slipsik7. I was so happy to finally get my slipsik 5.1 upgraded as one of the first North American units done by Tom at Overture Audi...

Fredrik/Tom, What are your findings on how an LP12 sounds now that there is no mass of an Urika unit mounted in the chassis of your unit while using SINGularity? Is there any sound quality gained or lost by not having that square Urika case there since it is no longer neccesary? Thanks just wonderin...

I guess I wanted to relay my comparison story because it seemed like a situation where I was sure that by going to 40 watts per channel vs 23 watts per channel would be a slam dunk but it didn't turn out that way. Is this proof of what Fredrik is talking about when he was writing that the clipping p...

Hi all, I remember a year ago or so when I borrowed Tundra Mono 2.2s with the idea to test against my Tundra Stereo 2.2. Knowing how my inefficient Isobariks demand power I was very interested in testing out if doubling the power output might improve things. I like it loud in my room as often as pos...

Hi Bill I am also close to Ann Arbor and Overture Audio. Hamburg/Whitmore lake area. Tom has been keeping my LP12 tweaked and tuned since I bought it in 2008 and its been really cool over the years how my Lejonklou gear keeps improving for actually quite reasonable costs. So I am sure your Boazu sou...
