Re: Multi-amplification with Ak 2200 balanced

As ThomasOK has said, you do indeed need to open the case to install the internal links, but it is a very quick thing to do, and there's no soldering or anything, just undo four screws, slide the top case off, plug in a short cable, put the lid back on and do the screws up. Are your 242s currently p...

Re: Multi-amplification with Ak 2200 balanced

With balanced Akurate (or older Chakra branded) amps, you have to use the internal links between channels. These only exist between pairs of channels, so 1/2 on a 2200 and 1/2 and 3/4 on a 4200. RCA amps can use external or internal links, but I think Linn decided that there wasn't enough space for ...

Re: Linn announces new Exakt speakers

That's the Akurate EDSM, so no analogue outputs. Worth £2750 at previous retail prices, so that suggests that the 520s are £6500 or so if you already have an Exakt equipped player.

Re: [IC] Linn Akurate 242's Rosewood

I'd be interested in the stands...

I've got Cherry (with black arrays) 242 mk 2s, but with the original stands. Just outside York myself, so it would be an easy swap if you were interested. I'm not sure how much difference the stands make to the resale price.

Re: Linn 4200/D For Sale

I'm sure that Charlie1 will comment, but what I'd expect to be the case is that he kept the original Chakra PSU when the upgrade was done, and has placed that in the box which the new Dynamik PSU was supplied (as it's the right size box, obviously!). So the 4200 currently has the Dynamik fitted, and...

Re: How do you like your second system?

Interesting update Charlie1. I think most people who've tried Tidal have found it somewhat uninvolving compared to local FLAC rips, and have fallen back to Spotify through a combination of cost, ease of use, and perhaps to some extent musicality. It might be worth trying Qobuz too, although the inte...

Re: Lejonklou pre and power amp package.

I'm sorry, I was being unclear myself when trying to clarify what you had for sale, Ozzy! Currently, you have this advert (Tundra plus Sagatun for £2500) and another advert which also lists a Tundra for £1500. I was trying to understand whether they were two different Tundras and you would sell both...

Re: Lejonklou pre and power amp package.

Sorry, my question should have been clearer:

Do you have two Tundras that you're trying to sell?

Could I pay you £5k and get a Sagatun and two Tundras, for example?

Wasn't sure if you meant AEDSM or ADSM/1, and if you meant Akubarik or Akudorik.
