Well done Azezllo!You know it makes sense, that broken sound you are talking about is just the speakers hang on in there and youll forget the sound of the Ninkas,i feel however that if you used an old pair of kans, II or earlier you'll be blown away and you will really hear what your LP12 is up to.O...

Can anyone in the uk recommend a distribution block that works well with linn gear and would connecting it with Volex cable be a good idea,also does anyone have an opinion on silver plating or silver cable?

Thanks for your time

And in my daydreamed future system, I've been thinking of someday going Aktiv with my Ninkas and some as-yet-unpurchased future amps -- but maybe a better (and simpler, less expensive) route would be to just run my Klout into a passive Majik 140!) Bring back the days when good retailers wouldnt sel...

Of those I have tested, the old ones have been a bit better, in my opinion. Makes me wonder why Linn did the change. The new type sounds more direct and precise, but the old type has more flow. Has anyone else compared them? Please share your experience! Using the tune method i prefer the new ones,...

Here we have what is probably the best DAC in existence and no way to connect a UniDisk, Ikemi, iPod, etc. to improve their performance. These seem to me rather large oversights especially in a product that is rumored to sell for almost $19000 US If you had a DS why would you want to play your ipod...

In my experience, if someone uses the Tune Method and still comes to "funny conclusions", there is usually a reason for this. I have met many Linn customers who have claimed strange things (like "My Karik is better than my Unidisk") and when I have checked their equipment/system they have almost al...

Last year i spent a month reading reviews about the 5103 and decided to get one from a dealer ;so cheap compared to what i paid for my old transformer Kairn.Got it home listened to it and thought wow very clear listen to that bass man!! etc etc,aktiv Klouts had a real grip of the Ninkas except it so...

Too true Lejonklou ,if a turntable conveys clicks and pops clearly it should also be very good at conveying that what we have is merely a finest nude diamond stylus getting dragged along a piece of plastic or maybe vice versa.Anyway good luck and if you find a cleaner and fluid that works really wel...

Hi Lejonklou, I have tried the disko stat thing shown on link above and it works quite well except any bad clicks that were on the record usually sound a good deal louder and clearer, tho' surface noise is a good deal less;so i suppose you end up with a more dynamic record :? I went through a phase ...

..hi musicLover although i know nothing about the technology,when comparing portable digital music i always found that the best of the mp3 players sounded way better than the best of the portable cd players,so it comes as no surprise that that it would take a player of ripped music to sound better t...

Hi Guys, Its about time linn got round to getting this digital music thing sorted.If you think back to portable cd players we all used them at some point but rarely found them enjoyable: go on admit it . It wasn't until I bought a 40 Gb i-river player(and more so the Sansa ) that I realized that str...

Thanks for that Linnofil i think you misunderstood me its my own hairdressing business;so work is even more enjoyable. :D .Dug out my old walkman pro and old naim snaps power supply which was configured to power the pro;forgot how good that combo sounded although have not compared it with Maplin bat...

I received the sensa and K24p and boy do they sound good together.I used free rip which uses Lame and then tried EAC combined with Lame 3.97 not the latest but some say the best.I'm not sure which i prefer.Hey Linnofil have you compared wma9 with other encoders and what do you think the optimum kbs ...

Yes you're correct lejonklou i just thought that was how everyone made comparisons(although when i think back to the lk1 pre amp i remember it to be more tunefull than the kairn!?); following the tune is a lot easier than comparing bass definition or the like.The real test was if i could notice a di...

Hi guys I daisychained my aktiv klouts last night for the first time in 5 years(having read in the manual that parallel is the better option!!???) anyway klouts sound a lot more enjoyable to listen to now; probably sounds more like an integrated amp with a mm cartridge;if you know what i mean . i do...

Sorry guys its me again.I have the old ekos 1 and the problem i have always had with it since day 1 is that after i have balanced it at 0 grams a few weeks later i check again and at 0 grams the arm is almost at a 45 degree angle and so have to balance it all over again; is that also the case with t...

Thanks 'Troll there are a lot of variables,i wasn't sure about the keel but the improvement i heard with the tramp 2 there is no doubt I'll be saving up for the keel.With that kind of outlay i want to make sure the deck is at its best.I compared my deck to a keeled ekos se etc ,both were on light st...

Hey guys whats the story with the trampolin 2 placement.Questions; 1)Is a tramp2 with keel on shelf better than no tramp and keel on light table,if so why and what shelf sounds best? 2)A gent who has been setting up my deck on and off for 30 years suggests a level light table with a small block of w...

Thanks guys;Anytime i buy a new cartridge there is very little dirt picked up,i think when the needle wears down it slides deeper into the groove where more dirt exists.Apart from the green stuff can anyone recommend a fluid that might help take of any sticky gunge that could be on my needle.I know ...

Hi Guys i am very new to this great forum.Has anyone out there worn out their Akiva yet?I've had mine for about 17 months and its starting to pick up dirt from my records already,how many hours are they supposed to last? I listen to mine most nights as we dont have a television although a recent Kre...
