Having re-read the suggested protocols on this For Sale forum, I feel I ought to supply the following information. My friend "runnermattrunning" has just put these speakers for me on e-Bay for me. (Where photos are also to be found). My asking price here, is based on what seems the be the going pric...

Owing to the fact that a pair of Spendor A6s have fallen into my lap, and are smaller for my little listening room, I now have my cherished Ninkas for sale. Late vintage - better tweeters (??), bought new from Sound Organisation, York in 2007. One steady owner - been used only for good music. No vis...

In my listening room my Ninkas can, to my ears, be a bit bright in the treble. I have devised a simple external modification to address this. Details will be found on http://www.vinyl-records-for-sale.co.uk/Forum/Linn_Ninka.htm I should point out that I have sought permission from Mr L prior to post...

I cut these off and soldered on brand new UK MK plugs bypassing all the fuses. (don't need them anyway as my house is completely on RCB breakers). Flat Hi Flatearther, I am sure this is good practice sonically, and I agree there is no need for a fuse on a plug when you have circuit breakers. The th...

Hello Mr L Thank you for your reply. With the Mogami cable I put two wires in parallel. This is the way that the Sound Organisation use them. If one seeks out the specification for the cable - here is a link to a pdf data sheet http://www.hhb.co.uk/files/product/file/datasheet_20120314134638_991.pdf...

Hi Mr L Perhaps my comparisons were not as rigorous as you would have liked. But I will try to answer a couple of questions. I have tried the Mogami cable bi-wired into my speakers, and prefer them in single wired configuration. That is, with two of the four runs of wire running in parallel. This is...

I will answer my own question here.
I did upgrade the power supply to Dynamik.
A significant improvement.
The shape of notes is more realistic - the start and fade of notes is more accurate.
Lyrics are easier to follow; instruments even more separated.

To be recommended.

Hi Guys Forum been a bit quiet recently, so I thought I would post this. I don't know if it should have its own thread or is OK on here. The nub is, has anyone tried Mogami W2972 speaker cable? I got some from the Sound Organisation, York for about £20 per metre. It outperforms (to my ears) Telluriu...

I am acting Devil's advocate here perhaps, but I would like to say a word or two about the practice of setting up systems. Now, firstly I reluctantly agree that how a system is installed, wired up and postitioned is vital to its performance. As an ex-electrical engineer I am able to apply a certain ...

Yes Mike, I have followed the Linn debate and was likewise interested that it was inconclusive. One reason why I keep the lid on my LP12 closed during playback it to keep the stylus cleaner. I suffer static in my listening room, and am used to the record mat sticking to the record when I remove it. ...

Hi guys I recently upgraded my Linn System from and early Linto to a Uphorik. A good improvement! Which meant that - as all good upgrades seem to mean - I played discs at more volume without it sounding loud. I am sure you know what I mean. I became aware of a rustling noise that at times almost pre...

From memory, I seem to recall that Linn write something like "must be installed by an authorised Linn dealer" or similar. Surely, Linn has given the dealer the responsibility to make sure that a system is optimised for the customer home conditions, tastes, hifi rack, cable choice &c. My local dealer...

Hello Salty Dog of the Chicago Suburbs! Thanks for the quick reply. I too found raised printing on my coach bolts. I reached for a file and removed them! Or I suppose you could put the threaded end of the bolt into a drill chuck and grind the heads smooth on a sharpening stone or similar. If the pri...

I have suspended wooden flooring which my Ninkas stand on. I have tried all sorts of things (except Skeets) under the spikes as well has having tried putting the spikes directly on pieces of wood and pieces of slate. All had their disadvantages and some (slate) coloured the music. I then tried somet...

Thank you Thomas for your helpful reply - as ever! Well I have now had a good chance to try various values and read a bit more about the Uphorik on the net. At present my preferred values are 1 nF and 53 ohms. On my system the effect of adjusting the resistance values is not subtle. Too low and the ...

Hi Guys I have had an early Christmas present - a Uphorik phono amp. The rest of my system is Dynavector 20XL2 / IttokVII / LP12 / Cirkus / Tramp2, Lingo 1 / Majik Kontrol / 2200 / Ninkas. Lovely sound - has got me into another league. Obviously I have been playing with settings for loading the cart...

Just my two cents worth: I have contemplated, and been encouraged by my dealer, to go active for some time. I have also tried bi-wiring with my Ninkas with both 2100 and, more recently, a 2200 amplifier. I have visited friends and demos - and heard Naim set-ups as well. My verdict: bi-wiring, bi-amp...

Thanks for all the good advice, Mr L! Given that I have Ninkas and a 2200, what would sound best: Split K400, used as "K200" in single speaker passive mode, or buy a bit more K400 and use it in bi-wired passive mode? With my wooden floored small listening room, I have to fight against anything that ...

Hi guys. I thought I would slightly hi-jack this thread rather than start something similar. I too have been surprised at the sound different plugs introduce into my Ninka - K20 - 2200 set up. And I found the Deltron plugs that came with the Ninkas to be the best sounding so far. I find that gold pl...

Trust the Celebrated Mr L to have already tried it! Thank you.

This is a question about the connection plates at the rear of some Linn speakers which cleverly configure them for bi-wiring, bi-amping &c. I have a pair of Ninkas which I am running from a 2200 in simple vanilla passive stereo mode. Now I know it is good form to tighten the nuts holding the plates ...

This item has now been sold as a result of the above enquiry.
Thank you Mr L for your very helpful forum.
