do you know when you get your Entity upgraded and what the cost of the upgrade is ... and hopefully please let us know how it sounds

so Linn is also mixing both up ;)

congratulations to the new addition to your system - seems it was a worthwhile step even though the Klimax Kontrol is already a tough cookie to beat ;) if you are not already using the upper outputs - there might be even a tiny bit more musicality in it for you. Enjoy 😉 what would we do if no upgrad...

keep us all posted about the differences in case you can remember them. If its the same unit just upgraded I expect it to settle down much faster.

so did you bought the Entity also? it had to go back for the upgrade? I am curious what you say about the Entity in the end.

congratulations to another well deserved great review!

thank you for the recommendation of the tool. Its funny after your test I thought well the new one is screwed up but maybe still sounds better than the old one ... and the screwed up one did sound better. So much that I am questioning if my old one was a genuine Linn one - anyway a nice upgrade on t...

I had the same feeling when I got my new mat ... it was easier to find out which side up is right. But than I screwed the mat up as it had wrinkles and I tried to iron them out with a rather cold temperature but screwed thr mat up because it was shrinking during ironing. Btw. which side is up on you...

I agree tagged sounds better with both mats. For me its more the timing that makes a difference - untagged interrupts the flow. It took a bit longer for me to decide which mat I liked better as I wanted to make sure we dont always choose option 2 as habbit being better. But also agree with that - hi...

I have so far not heard a Digital volume control which is close to a good pre amp. Also a passive volume control sounded detailed but boring to me.
So Boazu but its not a Pre but an integrated.

was there ever an MKII with the Linto?
I thought also there was two versions but got corrected it was related to the Lingo II where there was a version with normal electronic circuit MK1 and later a version with surface mounted circuit the MK2

if its just music quality than go DS if the housing is still upgraded with the upgrade to DSM than you need to evaluate for yourself how much important is that for you incl. the possible resale value.
The rest of the additional DSM „features“ depend on if you can make use of it.

any chance your new findings find their way into Sagatun or other products?

I did the upgrade from the ADS/1 to ADS/3 and it was worthwhile with respect to musicality but also Hifi/sound. Not sure if they still offer the ADS/0 to ADSM/3 upgrade as that would give you a new casing. another chance is to buy a ADS/3 used and sell your ADS/0 to compensate the additional cost ov...

Hi Beck I hoped you would comment, I decided to setup the LP12 to bring it back to the old performance and than make the test again. Both strips have advantages and disadvantages but as I have both I can have a control try later - my jig should arrive this weekend ;) BTW „with text“ ... is better it...

both are absolutely identical only the direction is different both have H05VV-F on it but they are 1.0mm2 cables
(the Clas Ohlson has 1,5mm2 individual lines)

@SewerSleuth somehow I expected that my test would be too much for you but why should I wait just because you would probably be joking about it. Unfortunately you didn’t understood what the test was about - a power strip has only one way to connect it. The difference is how the cable is attached at ...

that seems to be an interesting one ... in the room the strip „against text“ sounds much different to the other and it gives me a smile and sounds more musical to me as well the instruments flow much better. I can also understand the voices better ... so much that I was checking if I linked the righ...

here is the promised comparison of the Naim MusicLine power strip 1) MusicLine I-Sheng 2m against text https://www.dropbox.com/s/hxtuvfzepdnu7sm/Video%2009.02.21%2C%2021%2052%2014.mov?dl=0 2) MusicLine I-Sheng 2m with text https://www.dropbox.com/s/aghdw23izpvh7hu/Video%2009.02.21%2C%2019%2051%2055....

Hi SeverSleuth,
thank you for giving me another lesson in life. Very much welcome. But I have to be honest it feels a little bit weird as our intention was to help you. So please don’t expect me to contribute anymore.

can I make a suggestion - as I am afraid in the end we have no outcome because there is no structured approach: 1. make two clips with which whatever mat first - one clip one side up than the other clip with the other side up mark the one side which comes out as better 2 make two clips with the othe...

I was thinking about using the baseboard instead of the trampolin to get around this problem but was advised that with the trampolin it sounds better

mmh do we now know what mat 1 was and what mat 2 was? btw. we are serious about the felt mat - one side is more musical than the other - maybe you thought we are joking but we are dead serious about it ... and again when you just stuck it on the platter and the top side is what it is than you are on...

if mat 2 is the Spec+ Analog the mat 1 has the wrong side up :)

are you sure you are using TuneDem to evaluate your decisions? if not I recommend you make yourself familiar with it - it will help you in the long run to make the right decisions and save a lot of money. we are all used to short clips recorded with an IPhone or a different phone usually one song fo...
