DAC discussions

If I'm reading correctly USB audio data is transferred in 'Isochronous' mode is all USB DACs. Synchronization mode is a different story for which you have different flavors though: https://www.edn.com/design/consumer/4376143/Fundamentals-of-USB-Audio http://www.thewelltemperedcomputer.com/KB/USB.html

Re: 220 in US

220/240V is legally used in the US for certain appliances (AC units, Stove, Heater, etc.) so I don't see any reason you can't run a 220/240V circuit to your music room to power your system as long as you use 220/240V receptables/plugs and is installed by a certified electrician.

Looking for a Naim NAP140 power amplifier in Olive case. I understand that they transformer is easily rewired 120v so it won't matter if it is 240v.

Re: Linn Intek

I recently got my hands on an Intek that was going to be thrown to the garbage by a friend who had recently divorced and had no interest in keeping the ex-husband's audio system. Powered it up last week but it needs tender and loving care since pots are noisy as hell and requires an outer case paint...

Re: Linn LK240 mono amplifiers

Maybe the 2250 is highlighting a weak link up in the audio chain. What preamp are you using? My experience using old LK preamps with my 2250 was not very good. Switching to an Akurate Kontrol was an eye opener!

www.lejonklou.com forum initial page load times

Hi Fred,

For the last 3-4 weeks I've noticed an excessive page load times (7-10 seconds) for the forum's initial page. Have you switched servers? Once in response times are OK.

No other web site I visit is showing this behavior.

Interesting that the OP now owns one. Never say never... :-) Yes, I ended buying one after comparing a similar LP12/Ekos/Akiva/Lingo II with a Keel using the tune method. For me, and my ears, too small a difference to justify the additional expense. Maybe when I do manage to financially justify it,...
