Is there any advantage in simply bonding the old arm board to the existing sub-chassis?
Anyone heard the Kore yet?
The venue of this demo is, I think, the Highland Park distillery on Orkney. A happy holiday memory....

Hi Saltydog Thanks for your very helpful suggestion. I have read some of the details (and emotions) that surround jRiver Media Center on the Linn Forum, and note your helpful input there. Can you just clarify for me - through the haze of my limited understanding - am I right in assuming the followin...

I thought, to be fair to Linn, I would just update my opinions expressed in my first post. Now I have had the DS in my system for three weeks, I have got more used to it. Firstly - I am very happy with the sound. Other people are better qualified to talk about the nuances and tweaks. Secondly - it i...

Thanks guys for your helpful replies. It is such a pleasure posting on this forum.

...... and will there be a "DS-1/1"???

No likelihood of confusion there then..........

I have just bitten the streamer bullet and have bought myself a Majik DS. I must say I am most impressed with the sound through my Linn system, and look forward to rediscovering our CD collection. A couple of queries. On the box it says "Majik DS/1". Not "DS-1" which of course is a different animal ...

Hi ogni I am not doubting that you might have made a valid improvement. There is always the possibility with minor modifications that something else you may do may bring about the perceived improvement. Unplugging and plugging in all the connectors can often improve things. Also repositioning the ca...

Yes Rufus, that's what I do mean. There is a diagram of this in my pdf Akurate manual, so it is officially an option. I don't like the idea of crushing a plug either, but if suddenly it doubled the power and frequency response, caused holographic stereo imaging, and, err, I forgot - passed the tuned...

A question for all you golden-eared Linn-cats.... I use Deltron speaker plugs on my system. Looking at my Akurate manual - they seem to give me a choice of how to plug them into the amplifier. Should I push them in horizontally, as perhaps is conventional, or should I poke the plugs up vertically an...

Hi I thought I would pass on a recent experience as it's been a bit quiet on here lately. Not that I do so out of any sense of personal triumphalism (well, just a bit - nice to know the old man is not completely past it), but maybe of some help to others. Briefly my setup is, LP12, Uphorik, Magic Pr...

Hi Niclas I am by no means the greatest expert who reads this forum. But one immediate observation and piece of advice. I would not play any more cherished records until you have had your "new" cartridge examined under a microscope. It could be damaged, twisted, chipped, misaligned - all manner of t...

Hi Guys Go to Tesco Treat yourself to an eight way power socket, one metre of cable. Price £7.00. I have tried various power blocks over the years, including home-made ones, but this is one of the best. Shame it is not possible to get it apart to zap the neon, but you cannot have everything for the ...

Freddy I notice you are not getting any replies to this. It may be because it is difficult for anyone to really know what is wrong without actually looking underneath the bonnet. I would suspect that the solution is quite straightforward and cheap. But it does need an expert to have a look. Earth hu...

Well, I have not, as they say in England, "taken home my bat and ball." Thanks to you who have requested I remain with the forum, and had sympathy with my position. I do not want to make this a thread about me - so please don't mention me any more in connection with this incident. I do really like t...

Firstly Happy New year all ye audio people of taste! Secondly this standby issue on 2200s and similar does raise a couple of questions. At present I do not switch mine off - mainly because I cannot be bothered to reach behind my stack every time. So it is left on standby. And as soon as I play some ...

Can I just clarify this debate? Is there a suggestion that the LP12 will actually perform better at different humidity levels. Certainly with a higher humidity the felt mat is less likely to stick to LPs.

Moreover, not only has he photoshopped speakers into each empty room - he has photoshopped THE SAME speaker, left and right.

I did. And?

Has anyone out there, besides Beck, actually heard one? I must admit - without wishing to be too critical - I do not think it is very fair to dismiss a product on the basis of needle droppings. I have difficulty in the idea of using a lesser medium to evaluate a superior medium. It's a bit like usin...

As ever, Mr L, you put it eloquently. The point you make is exactly as I understood things from the Ittok manual, which I quoted. From my own experimentation, the sKale sounds "best" when the arm is set up - i.e. all the tracking force comes from the spring - as per the manual. Which means that in t...

Well, I put this topic up a week or so ago as the forum had been a bit quiet, and wondered what you Linn sages might be thinking about this new toy. I have written my initial impressions on another forum, but will set out my current thoughts to try to get more informed debate going. I have an Ittok ...

So who has tried one? Much discussed on other forums, this gadget, to my ears, can bring so many variables into your turntable. From amazing detail which can be unmusical to sweet mellowness. And all stops between. A tweaker's prayer answered. Anyone on this forum using one? Don, really rainy downto...

UPDATE one month later
Been away; Ninkas still here.
Not for sale anywhere else at the moment.
Still up for offers, can deliver in the region.
Thanks.
Don, York

UPDATE:
These seem to have not gone well on eBay - my friend withdrew them.
So, now I am open to sensible offers.
