I don't think that tunefulness is a function of accuracy of pitch reproduction, except in a few cases. Because some products that are not very tuneful can't in any way be shown to alter the pitch of what they reproduce. Most likely, both tweak A and tweak B will result in a less tuneful amplifier. ...

It's a function of accuracy of pitch reproduction, surely?

Hi Vic, re: the last modification to the Klout - "Capacitor added to Transformer connector on main board to improve the Klout's immunity to electromagnetic emissions. This improved the sound quality. " When I used Klouts, they had been updated by Linn, apart from this mod (and BFA sockets). When I l...

My torque driver starts at .5Nm. Ok for for most things but the armboard at .3-.4Nm is a bit too low for it. I was thinking of using the .5Nm setting and then easing back a touch (1/16 of a turn?). Mike Mike, I wouldn't. There is always some small amount of variation in the accuracy of torque drive...

Good luck and it would be good to know how you get on at House of Linn. Might be worth a visit to their Komri room if they still have it - not many places you can hear a £100,000s worth of Komri's fully aktiv with Klimax Solo's etc. Yes, they do and have remodelled it over the Christmas period, so ...

Thirty years on it is refreshing to know that we are still discovering new musical vistas. Yes and imagine what 30 years on DS technology AND 30 more on vinyl will bring! Yep, I don't think we are anywhere near the end of the trail with either of these, yet. I think Linn will continue to astound us...

Sorry Fredrik, it must have been on the Linn Forum. This is becoming very confusing.

Therefore a Cirkus/Keel/Akito/Adikt should outperform an Cirkus/Ekos SE/Akiva. Also, not sure where the plinth, Trampolin and table or rack fit in the list, but presume before the arm and cartridge??? :? Hi Charlie, I think I made a very similar suggestion in a thread when the Keel first appeared a...

Great post Tom. I too was amazed at reading "yes the felt mat is more musical but that alone does not make it better" That's where I've been going wrong.

After almost 30 years of owning Linn equipment I'd forgotten that this kind of thinking was still prevalent. Silly me.

You really, really need to hear fully aktiv Komris

Hmmm. Honestly don't know. I've never come across these and I'm sure that Linn only list one type of banana in their spares list, which I would expect to be the aluminium one. Perhaps ThomasOK will advise?

The obvious question for me is, "where did you get them from?"

They certainly don't look like Linn bananas to me.

Linn quoted him 450GBP to fix Is the old orange display a no no? The fixed service charge for a Kairn with SMPS is £300 inc VAT in the UK - it sounds like he has been quoted for a power supply upgrade. If it's sent in for a service, they should do what is necessary to get it working for the fixed p...

Well, as far as I'm aware, the physics hasn't changed so it still applies. Dealers still do single speaker demonstrations. However, my system is in a living room, so I wouldn't be without a phone or the TV. I have taken care to fix any rattles - china, doors etc.which I think has more of an impact '...

Great stuff.

If you start the "X Terminal" application and start Leia DS by typing "leiads" there, you should see a message in the X Terminal saying how the name of the log file is. Axel ? Probably me causing the confusion Axel Mick - the log file on my Nokia gets created in the Nokia N800 folder, not the Docum...

Mick,

can you have a look in your Documents folder on the Nokia and see if Leia has dumped a log-file there? If so, there may be some useful info for Axel in there.

Hi Axel - I've installed the new version and it's definitely an improvement - Leia now 'sees' both my DS and the media server every time I start it, which wasn't the case with the last version. I know it's an early release, but I have one small problem - if I double-tap 'album' from the top screen ...

My setup is staggered: the KK is my main pre-amp. The CD12 and the left-front and right-front of an Exotik+DA go into that. The Exotik-input on the KK is set to fixed volume. The Exotik services - Squeezebox (S/PDIF) - HD-DVD (Toslink) - Tvix 6500 (S/PDIF) - PVR (S/PDIF) - TV (analog) Works pretty ...

Bute 1.2.0.6 was released last week for Klimax DS(24th?)

I haven't upgraded yet, as I haven't been using the PC where I have LinnConfig installed.

6/ no chareholders&investors that require ROI fast (return of investments) 7/ no need to be politically correct as a big company If we're still talking about Linn - they are a privately owned company, so no shareholders.

Life's too short, get a DS...

I am using Leia DS as we speak and I must say, two thumbs up. What does it do...it lets you play songs....that's it, but wait, that's all I really want it to do......all other stuff is just icing on the cake Agreed, I'd just like to thank Sommerfee for all the effort that he has put into this.

Linntek, I can't see any problem or benefit in doing this. There's no problem with driving unequal lengths of K600 - that's what I do with my aktiv Kabers/Klouts. Neither is there a problem with mixing the aktiv cards within power amps (I'm sure I've done that with Keltiks and 4 Klouts when I was in...

Hi Lego, yes, I'm sure we've discussed this on this forum too. I use Quadraspire QX7s on carpet and wouldn't be without them. I believe that Thomas OK also has experience of the Linn Skeet. I, too, was very sceptical when it was suggested to me, but as this advice came from (what I consider to be) a...
