I'm really struggling to get an exotik, there may be one available, but i think kikkin really is a better product for MY needs, its the complexities I'm worried about should i buy one. Reverse phase, swapping stuff around and not being sure that i have it right. I've sent mr Lejonklou an email. :) I...

Cheers. ;) I just nipped them up a bit, I've had my speakers about 7 years, so they needed to be screwed up a tad.

I just tightened up my driver's torque screws as i was surprised that there was plenty of turn left. Have I buggered up anything? Damn that pesky russ andrews bloke for telling people to go and tighten all their drivers.

Hi christian. There's a thread over in the Linn forums regarding HDtracks. http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.php?tid=12003 Personally, i am waiting for the record labels to release their own studio masters. I don't trust the source code from anywhere that's not either the label or the artist.

OK, silver also considered!

Interesting as I'm looking for an exotik with dynamik. Really wanting to keep system matched, but maybe not worth it. I can get a non DA non Dynamiked 2004 exotik for 650+ 470 for the Dynamik. That's 1120 pounds for something worse than a kikkin for 700 pounds? Hmm, this is testing my linn loyalty!

Cheers. Forgotten i'd asked this here! Posted a similar question in your system thread charlie! Oops.

Lovely system charlie, really really great! I'm still looking for an exotik currently. However later I will want to change my old lk power amps, and after reading your findings and mr Lejonklou's posts elsewhere, i think a c4200/akurate is a good bet for me. I fancied 2250's, but was advised the maj...

For future reference, would a 4200 be enough to run ninkas bi activ? Would it be worth adding a 2200 later on? Or maybe stick with a 4200 until the ninkas have to go and then I'd know for sure how many channels i'd need.

Cheers, but I really need an exotik first!

Interesting, that's a bit of a tricky one, comparing the two!

I am thinking of changing my amps next year to 2250's. Would they be a lot better than c2100 / majik 2100? And do you think they'd be a good choice for active Ninka until I could afford M'ISOS? Cheers.

What are you thinking mr Lejonklou? :) No, I just thought they seemed far apart, and close to the corner as well. But it's perfectly possible that they should be exactly where they are. If you decide to try Linn Silvers and/or K400/600, I suggest you try the real thing in both cases. No homesoldere...

Ozzzy - In terms of the Linn silvers, you'll find that most people on here are of the opinion that although shorter interconnects are generally better, there's something about the way that the factory make them which makes a pair of 1.2m factory soldered silvers sound better than a pair of 0.6m sil...

Cheers guys. The k600 is a gift, so nothing to lose but ozzpoints off the mrs! Probably ask mark grant to terminate it for me, and i use half metre ic's, so if i like silvers, can half them and do the same as per the k600. Just options for now. Retermiation probably affects the resale a lot though, ...

Budget? Well, comes in bits and bobs! However its tight at present, got 450 for my kairn, so an exotik shouldn't be too bad, and the 300 quid for the DS change, probably about 700 on those two changes. The amps will have their own larger budget when things allow and I have a clear plan. :) Would lov...

Any thoughts on the amps? I'm not familiar your existing ones, so can't advise. All I can say is that the upgrade from 6100 to 4200, with Ninkas, was nice, but not great value for money if I have bought it brand new, IMHO. I bought mine 2nd hand at a good price, so was very enough. The main thing w...

I played Psychocandy to my kids (well, the start of the first track) and their faces were a picture. I think the phrase "turn it off" was all I could make out through the feedback.

Aye, bit noisy! I prefer April skies, a nice tune in there! :)

I had the speakers tune demmed, they're about right, the pics are deceiving What's the distance between the inner upper corners of the Ninka's? 2480mm or 8'3 and a half. Left speaker is 540 or 21 and a half inches from back wall, and 710 or 2'4" from the side wall to the rear corner. The right spea...

Thanks charlie. I have a j+ m c best of, that's all. The mish keep bring themselves out of retirement, but I'm not sure who's with Wayne now. Their last studio album, god is a bullet, is meant to be stunning. Released a couple of years back now. Fields released mourning sun in 06, decent, but only c...

Welcome here, Ozzzy! Nice system you've got! To add something constructive, I suspect that your left speaker if too far to the left. Have their positions been properly evaluated? If you invest a couple of hours in that, perhaps together with a friend who's good at the Tune Method (or you could hire...

Hi thanks for the replies! I had the speakers tune demmed, they're about right, the pics are deceiving, I'll see if there's a better pic. I looked at the kikkin, but i really want to keep it linn and try and natch the system looks wise too - to keep Mrs oz something like happy. :) http://i1133.photo...

Feel free to ask questions and offer advice and constructive criticism. Room is very live and needs more blinds and soft furnishings.
Amps are next. Thinking of 2250 or c4200's etc. Think majik amps probably not going to be a big enough upgrade. Ninkas staying for the long haul I think!
Cheers.

Hi all. Thought I'd introduce myself and my system. It all started about 9 years ago when a pal suggested a Linn Classik. I bought one with b+ w cdm1nt's. I then added an lk85 to bi amp passive. I then bought an lk140 and ninkas with active cards for bi amp activ. Classik then sold to make way for s...
