Re: LP12 Radikal problem

Hi all, Just joined the forum after reading this thread. Many thanks for the swift approval 😊 I’m on the verge of upgrading from the Lingo 4 to the Radikal, as part of the Karousel offer, but am now concerned that it will be touching my Trampolin 2 as my plinth is 65mm high. I have shown my dealer ...

It is silly not to own one just as a backup. Buy the Conical version first. As you are listening, I guarantee you will not be thinking it can't track, has end of side distortion [/u][/i][/b], limited frequency response, bad separation, and all the other hi-fi myths out there.

yes even though I don’t question anymore if the Karousel is really better - I think it really is. I am looking more forward to the comparison of the Linn Silver Interconnects - my Interconnect II is performing really great and I think it will become the new State of the Art even beating the first g...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercices

Isn't that interesting that with such a tiny change (wrong direction of a fuse) there is not much controversy here but with a big change like the Karousel there was much more difficulty to agree whats better. I dont mean to bring this topic up again but it is somehow strange. Hi Defender, Yes, defi...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercices

Is it just me or is this is quite a common finding with comparisons . One option has impressive sounds but the other has better musicality and is more enjoyable. I agree its common however not always the case. I also agree with beck that this is the main reason why many develop their systems in the...

Last week I was finally able to install the new MD ST-2 antenna, and it's a really great improvement over the previous antenna.

Re: Briks missing bass

The Briks are standing on movable wheels and are pushed as close as possible to the wall. This really brings bass, but still not enough to hear it in quiet passages. At the moment everything is provisional, because I have to decide either to build a stone wall behind the briks or to clad the wall w...
