Thanks Sunbeam. Kans were also good at this so I wondered if it was a non-ported speaker thing, but suspect that's too simplistic and probably just coincidence. Boogie factor was a key decision for me when choosing my current speakers - they're much better at it than the Akubarik and 3677, for exam...

My Ninkas were able to really boogie on some tracks. The timing would be kind of sync'd like a pendulum. These tracks seemed to be imbued with more 'swing', compared to 140s, but was it induced by the Ninkas or better preserved by them? Unlikely that anything is being added by a speaker - much more...

How to get it wrong: https://www.audiostream.com/content/hi-fi-hierarchy-according-me But the last sentence gives hope....... Matt That link has quite a few contradictions. Particularly the last sentence in contrast to where 'other stuff' is placed in the priority order. But the crucial part is the...

No, my understanding is that it was linear phase.

we are using Linn Kabers They are the perfect size for the room and were in my fathers system so a bit sentimental Chris converted to Active and they sound brilliant, even Chris could not believe the noise (great sound) we got from the system from 20 year old speakers. I think they would embarrass ...

Wow Chris, would love to hear the mix of Exakt and Lejonklou amps. How long are you likely to have that set up in the dem room?

Hi Sunbeamgls Many thanks for the clarification and apologies for the delayed reply; been away on hols for a few weeks. I understand now what the difference is. Quick supplemental question; am I correct in assuming I need 2 x treble and 2 x bass cards if I want to use the Chakt converter in my 5125...

Nice review. Congrats.

It seems the reviewer was listening to the philosophy of the company.

2 people have requested the plugs, so no longer available at the moment.

Thanks

CHAKT cards are all mono and fit directly into the Chakra, Majik and Akurate amplifiers. CHAKT 08 is Ninka mid-bass, CHAKT09 is Ninka and Katan treble. You can use them in an AV5125 but you need a converter card. You mount 2x CHAKT cards onto each stereo converter card. Contact a Linn dealer to find...

To run CHAKT cards in a 5125 you will also need to find (or perhaps Linn will sell you them) the converter card. Or look for the stereo active cards that fit directly into this amp and are probably more numerous than the CHAKT converter.

True, but there is no real consistency as there is in the musicality. I have doubted Source First so many times, thinking that 'this cha...

Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to hear the Azzolina Hadrons - they were playing the large blue horns when I was in that room, which unfortunately suffered from many of the usual horn challenges being harsh, coloured and thin. I don't know if they were musical or not because they were too unpl...

Last chance this week

I'll take the RCAs please bugu

Whilst I wasn't fortunate to be at Windsor to hear this system (which clearly piqued a lot of interest and favourable comments), I did get to hear the new Totem floorstanders which appear to be a partner product to the Sky (but I didn't see a name for them). They were playing at the Munich show in M...
