Hi D-Link was a good device for the price! There was a slight glitch adding the second disk after initiating it as a single disk device; it didn't correctly change into RAID 1 (I knew something was up when writing to the NAS; only the one disk light was blinking and the other remained continuously ...

Sorry for the mistake... :(


:mrgreen:

Alex,

Any new release for testing???

:mrgreen:

Oh yes!!!

Listened to the new ones when first listened to the Akurate DS!!!

Be aware that if you listen them, your bank account/credit card will suffer!!!

:mrgreen:

I installed it two nights ago and I agree!

Naim amps (except the Nait-5) do consider the speaker cable as part of the load seen by the amplifier. If the speaker cable is not within Naim's capacitive load expected specs, it could end up damaging the amplifier. K20 is exactly the same type of cable as Naim's NACA4 so there is no issue using K2...

Speaker units degrades slowly by time and usage. Do they? In what way...please elaborate. I have no deeper knowledge, but it seems to me that old speaker units, especially trebles seem to becomes rather harch after some (ten or so) years.. It is not the drivers that become harsh, crossover capacito...

The moment you buy a company that sells a product that you enjoy as part of your hobby your priorities change and its not a hobby any more.

It's a job (maybe a fun one!!!!)

Better ask Ivor...

Maybe I'm in for a surprise!!!! If so, I may be tempted to sell my Linn gear (pre and amp) and just keep the NAIT-2 for amplification. Is this with the aim of getting a Klimax DS by any chance? Maybe, but I don't think the selling price of an Exotik, Akurate DS, 2250 and a pair of Kytes (will keep ...

I'm currently trying to set up the dream system I wished for 24 years ago. I've already got a 2nd hand NAIT-2 and a pair of Rega Kytes (always arrived late for a pair of Kans...) What's left??? Source of course!!! I maybe use my notebook with a decent DAC to play the FLACs in my NAS server. Yesterda...

Finally my new N800 arrived yesterday!!! Was a REAL pain to decipher the keys for the firmware upgrade since the process explicitly says 'Make sure the unit is powered off'. The process of powering it on by pressing the 'swap' and poweron button does not work from a powered-off condition. :evil: I i...

Vicdiaz ! Rain falls on the Linn factory most of the time,that's what inspires them to produce great gear,I suppose the noise of water clattering against the windows is not conducive to a peaceful environment for listening to music so you may be on to something. :? But remember next time it rains t...

For people who are experienced with the Tune Method, mood and weather will not affect the outcome much.

Yeah right... Ask my wife...

:roll:

But what I know for sure is that I got a catastrophic result when I updated my Auskerry-optimized system to Bute, while other ones claimed that Bute is better (in terms of tune-dem) than Auskerry. BE AWARE that firmware upgrades are affected by the way the planets and the Moon are aligned and last ...

I don't think neither Linn nor their A/C cord supliers spend any time testing directionality in A/C power cords or which plug goes at what end of the cable. These cords are not done specifically for Linn. If you take a look at them they are exactly the same as the A/C cords supplied to other Audio v...

In fact I already have an LP12 motor controller proto called 'Uddevalla' sitting on a shelf. It was made several years ago and has an ingenious circuit, never before used in a turntable, which makes the motor run considerably more quiet than it does with a Lingo. I think it has great potential. :sh...

You may have to update it when it arrives - I bought mine at the start of May and it still had OS2007 on it.

Mick.

First thing to do as soon as it arrives!!!

:mrgreen:

Finally my order went thru!!!

That's a real shame - did you find one for a good price? Here in the UK Play.com are selling it for half the list price - £149 instead of £300, although as I believe it's been discontinued there are probably many stores selling for a similar amount. Paypal just refunded my $$$!!!!! Tonite I'm going...

Bummer.....

While I was ordering my N800, the internet connection timed-out and the Paypal transation went thru but the order on the seller just dissappeared!!!!!

Now I'm dealing with Paypal trying to get my money refunded....

Been in IT myself for more than 24 years and I agree with what you found. If there is no difference in the digital domain how can there be any perceived difference in sound/musicality/etc.?

It's really cool that you wrote a DS simulator!!!

OOOPPPSSS!!!!

Did not see the link in a previous post......

Looks excellent!!!

Any way of getting a print screen. I'm currently thinking on getting my hands on a Nokia!

Finally got a copy of E.S.T.'s 'Tuesday Wonderland' and played it thru my Akurate DS.

Fantastic!!!! :mrgreen:

Will collect all his discography as soon as I can.

Sold!
